Sheetmetal differences between pickups vs. medium duty trucks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am considering going to look at a flatbed 1964 GMC in my area. It appears to be a larger medium duty truck, based upon its overall size, the wheel size, and the steps under the door.

The truck does have some rust, so I was wanting to know what differences there were sheetmetal-wise, between these trucks and the more common pickups. I am talking only about sheetmetal cab forward, of course, since this truck is a flatbed. What do they share? What is unique to the medium duties?

The main differences sheetmetal wise in the C40 and up is inner and outter fenders, radiator support, grill panel, and of course the running boards/steps. Most everything else is the same as the C10-30's
