anybody know of a website(s) where i can compare Chevrolet truck frame specs? Specifically for a 1954 model 6103 2 ton frame to a late model truck. right now its a tandem axle flatbed dump. like it. workhorse. but now i'm thinking rollback. would like to take the 5 window cab and put it on something mechanically newer. any web page suggestions? thanks.

If that web site exists I'd like the link too.

I'm wondering though if the model number really means much when it comes to your truck. 6100 is a short wheelbase (137 inch) 2-ton with a single rear axle. What you describe is not a stock '54 truck because Chevrolet did not make a tandem axle truck in '54.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

it's not a "tandem" Steve, it's yer usual dually - which wouldn't matter anyway if he's gonna swap chassis' wink

there's no listing on the web of all years dimensional specs, you'll need to take yer tape measure to the wrecking yard and make yer own comparisons

Oldsub, you're absolutely correct. the 2nd axle was done later. It's a grain truck out of IN. take a look at my photobucket blue truck pics.

squeeze, i was thinking that might be the only way. ifin i find a web site or a source, i sure will let folks know. thanks.
