Were there many non CC 1 ton longbeds made?

I was just curious of people happen to have, or see many plain non crew cab longbeds?

Those of you who might have been following my build, know that I recently swapped in a 1 ton crossmember into 1/2 ton, and ran into an issue with one wheel closer to a fender.

Have identified the problem, and received some info that the truck had actually been in an accident many years ago, I should have noticed the overspray.

As we were measuring tonight, I found a kink under the cab of my truck, in the frame.

I recently let go of a 1 ton CC frame, that I could have cut down, and I see a lot of CC's, but I haven't found many regular or dually 1 ton longbeds.

From what I have read, though I could be wrong, the 1 ton uses a thicker gauge frame then even the 3/4 ton, I want the strongest frame possible.

Hoping for info, incase they are hard to find, I can just plan on finding a CC frame to shorten.

Thank you.
