RJ's 53Chevy New Guy R Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 13 Davison, Michigan	Hello Everyone I am finally starting to work on my truck after almost 4 yrs, hurray. Now here is my first of many questions I will be having. I have a ¾ ton 1953 pickup and I would like to change it to a ½ ton. Question 1. Is the frame the same on both trucks? #2 what do I have to do to the suspension on the frame? #3 I want to keep the straight axel at this time what do I have to do the make it a 5 bolt rim. Thank you for any help I can get. Roger
