Frame Measurements

That's great infor. I was wondering if anyone new if the thickness of the metal on 1/2, 3/4, 1-ton are the same or are they a difference?
Thanks MK

if i remember right the 1.2 ton has the slightly thinner thickness whereas 3/4 and 1-tons should have same thickness until you get into the small dumptruck size trucks...

Frame

Screwball, That's the thoughts I have. That makes me feel that installing a
3/4 to 1-ton crossmember will work, in a 1/2 ton frame.
Thanks again
