for all truck Guys

[stsalvage]

from the Dawn of Time when trucks came to are country.What is the one thing that we all Know about are trucks.Yes they have tires engine and they have sheet metal.

What makes a 1/2 ton diffrent from a 3/4 ton a 1 ton from 2 ton Now 3ton we almost all Know is a Flat bed a bob tail or a box truck with a 15--22 inch box or steak bed.

But getting back to the 1/2 ton to the 1 ton frames what is the diffrence.
the 1968----72 Longhorn has a 133 wheel base and the 12 foot flat beds on the 3/4 to 1 ton has the 135 wheel bases but from other then that.What makes a 1/2 to diffrent from a 1 ton Frame



NOTHING the 1/2 frame is the same as the 1 ton frame when its in a 127 inches wheel base. So that dose not effect Gas milage.

I feel the chassic is what makes the diffrence on what the truck will be the front A arms and Rear End all the sheet metal is the same on the 1/2 ton to the 2 ton trucksand so on

Uhhh...you wanna rethink that?Read more threads in this highly educational website and you`ll find little accuracy in your statements.I won`t point them out.

I've seen one ton frames, and they are almost twice as high as a 1/2 ton frame in the middle. Not sure of the other differences.

[GruntyPants]

So are you saying that this is some kind of conspiracy? Were you sold a 2 ton truck with a 1/2 ton frame? I think I'm missing something.

But with that said, I'm pretty sure my 1/4 ton unibody pickup has vastly different sub-frame connectors than the lighter duty counterparts found in Eastern Canada and Nova-Scotia, but I'm having a hard time proving it.

Hope this helps.

You should have just left it with that. Sounds like the beginning of a novel or something...just take it in a different direction now

This is why you should never drink and type!

1/2 and 3/4 ton uses the same frame.1 ton is different.1 ton is a heavier duty frame.

Not true.I dont see many 127 " wheel base 1 tons,do you?The 1 ton frame is taller and beefier than the 1/2 and 3/4 ton frames,FYI.So,heavier frame/chassis--more power needed to pull the truck along,more gas used,right?Then,there isnt a high geared rear end in a 1 ton truck,they have lower gears so mileage is affected.

Sheet metal isnt the same from 1/2 to 2 ton trucks.Look at the C/40s and C/50s.Do they look like the C10s-C30s? Just about the only thing that can be swapped between the c10-30s and the c40 + is the doors,and even then they are different in the lower front corner.

I'm a little about the post, too. But oh well...

C40+ is also a good place to find 67 steering wheels, tach/vac or air clusters and radio delete plates. I think thats all they are good for. Oh ya the whole thing with the framm. GM parts catalog oddly has different numbers for the frames and cross members on 1/2 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. They must be plotting against us!!

[special-K]

Blue isn`t really blue.It`s yellow and green mixed.Or,is green blue without yellow?I think yellow is green without....Damn!Nevermind

[Shane]

blue is blue ... it's one of the primary colors red - blue - yellow
