Re: New Guy and C-30's

OK, GM never made one. A short bed... 6 1/2 foot bed, ONLY came on 1/2 ton trucks.
If you wanted a 3/4 ton, you got an 8 foot bed, an 8 1/2 foot bed, or no bed. There were also no 3/4 ton trucks built in a cab/chassis model, with a 115 inch wheel base.
One tons, didn't come any shorter than 133 inch wheel base.
One tons never came with a bed, if it had daul rear wheels.
So these trucks you guys are seeing, are custom conversions.
A true one ton frame is taller, and much heavier than a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton frame. So adding one ton suspention on a limp frame, would be kinda pointles.
