My first clue was the straight frame, second was the foot e brake as opposed to the hand brake, and the 8 lug wheels/full floating axle
Plus it looks like it holds a 9ft bed.

But when its all said and done, who can tell the difference?

3600's have the 8 lug free floating rear axle and foot operated e-brake as well. Not sure about the brakes being different from 3/4 to 1 ton but will assume they are different.

Looking at your existing runningboards, if the look like they were cut off after they left the factory you mave have had a box on the back. If they appear to have short running boards, I would say that the truck left the assembly line bare and then a flat bed may have been installed.

If you run the ident tag number you will be able to tell what you have.
