I just picked up my second old truck, a 53 one-ton. My other love was my 63 stepside. Still miss that old girl. I have a few questions:

I'm not a huge fan of total customization, but does anyone recommend boxing the frame? Does anyone have any advice on this? I found a couple good articles about it on the 'net, but is it feasible on my '53 one-ton?

I do intend to put this truck back to work. Does anyone know the frame differences between a 'tonner and a half-ton? I would imagine the real difference is in the suspension an axles.
