Be aware that your 1-ton frame is much heavier than a 1/2-ton frame and rear gears that might work fine in a lighter truck may be a real problem in this truck.
I bought a '50 1-ton cheap a while back because the 216 would not pull the truck with 3.42 gears in the rear.
The front spring width is different between the 1/2- and 1-tons, so you'll need to do some adapting.
