The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 1/2 ton-- 1 ton?

Are there any differences in the bodies of the 1/2 ton and 1 tons?

I was thinking in the future I would like to build a 1/2 ton. This fella in Minot, ND has tons of 1/2,1,1 1/2, 2 ton trucks for sale. Thinking I could get a cab from him, but not if it is different from a 1/2 ton cab.

Thanks

No differences in body sheet metal: cab and forward of the cab, on 1/2 to 1 ton (47-55st).

Front bumpers and front valances and bumper brackets might have differences.

Cabs are the same on all sizes of standard-cab trucks.

1.5 and 2 ton standard-cab trucks have different front of the cab sheet metal from smaller standard cab trucks.

Thanks,

As in different, you mean the gauge of sheet metal?

And I meant, the fella in Minot has all the 1 ton and up trucks, not much for 1/2 ton, is why I was asking this question.

Chance,

Most of the differences I referred-to are differences in size/shape-dimensions.

If you have a question on a specific part, just ask here.

For example: some bumpers are different in shape, size, and gauge. Bumper brackets are different in shape for most different sizes of trucks.
