What major differences are there between the 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups, other than the 9ft bed and possible wheel size ? Thanks ahead of time

Wheel base.
springs.
Frame.
Brakes.
Running boards.

Wheels on 1 ton will be 17 or 18".
All front sheetmetal and cab are the same.

What do you want to know more about?
All this can be figured out by reading the shop manual.

I am talking about AD trucks.

The differential ratio will be different also-3/4 ton has 4.56, 1 ton is 5.13. The 1 tons alsp used a different spring shackle on the rear. The rear brakes will be larger as well.

The frame goes straight over the rear axle on a one ton, on the three quarter & half ton it bumps up. Front bumper is heavier & attached differintly.
