Cab and front end sheetmetal, engine/transmission, and cooling system is the same. The 3/4 ton will have a longer frame, heavier axles and brakes with 8 lug wheels, heavier springs, hybrid driveshaft (front half closed, rear half open), plus the bed and running boards will be longer. Front bed panel, tailgate, and rear fenders will be the same, though.

You really need to nail down what years the two trucks are. Some of the things that could be different are year to year changes rather than differences between a 1/2-ton and a 3/4-ton.

Also in those years GMC make a long-box 1/2-ton that includes a bunch more changes.

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