Crew cab frame help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Its been awhile, but i love this board. People are so willing to help! That being said, i come asking for help and i have done some searches with no luck. I want to build a crew cab short bed truck with half ton suspension. I have the following:

1985 C10 long bed full chassis.

1984 gmc c30 3+3 dually cab/chassis.

I really want to use the half ton chassis and just stretch it. I realize most people use the 1 ton and shorten it due to strength ect. I am wondering if the frame shape is the same between the two. Do I just have to add to the frame rail under the cab. I can weld ect and have shortened frames but never extended one.
