81-87, 3/4 ton frames taller?
How much difference is there between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton frames? I cant seem to find a nice 3/4 ton anywhere so I think I might just buy a clean 1/2 ton and swap axles/springs. Is that the only difference?

hangers are different (i think theres a 2" length difference?) and here probably is a frame difference.

Re: 81-87, 3/4 ton frames taller?
The frame rails on my '86 3/4 ton 2wd are 8 1/8" tall
how tall are 81-87 1/2 ton frame rails? I know my '71 is something like 6" |

Re: 81-87, 3/4 ton frames taller?
all 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton frame rails are identical, 2wd or 4wd. They are all the same part number. Only difference is the bracketry bolted to them
 The 1 ton frames are very different though, much thicker, and much heavier duty.
