Hey
I have a 1953 chev 1ton that was my grandpas that he pass on to me. I have a question as i dont want to keep it a a big 2wd 1ton. are the bodys the same as the 53 1/2ton trucks or is the body bigger. its a 1953 1430 1ton 6cyc w/ hoist on it. what m thinking is taking the body and putting it on another frame but i dont know if theres a huge difference between the 1/2 tons and the 1 tons or if it was all in the frame and axles. thanks for your time and help
