You can easily remove and replace 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton front axles with each other because the springs are the same width and spacing. The 3/4 ton would have stiffer springs, you could also swap front springs between them if desired.
The rear part of the frame (behind cab) is vastly different between 1/2 ton and any larger truck.
1/2 ton kind of flares out wider and wider as the frame goes back.
3/4 ton and larger has parallel frame from the cab back at about 36” outside to outside. | | |
