Re: 1 ton frames
yes they are all different
1/2 and 3/4 look the same, but 3/4 use thicker metal 1 ton is 2 inches taller than 1/2 and 3/4 |

Re: 1 ton frames
i have heard that the bolt hole sizes for items like the front suspension parts are bigger on the 3/4 and 1 tons than they are on the 1/2 tons. is that true?

so if I'm reading that correctly......all the crew cabs (164.5 WB) have the same frames, regardless of 3/4 or 1 ton....I thought that was the case..
