I don't think it's a 1/2 ton frame, unless it's from a flat top rail bed ('54-55.1) which had a much lower rear hump than a '47-5'2 1/2 ton. Also clues to it being a 3600 (3/4 ton) frame are the shock mounts mounted inboard of the rails. 1/2 ton would have shock mounts outside the frame rails. Also, a 1/2 ton frame has a fairly pronounced increase in width till just after the rearmost crossmember. A 3600 frame has parallel rails from just behind the cab which is what his pic looks like.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
