Hy z48, to begin with the 3/4 ton has a wheelbase of 125 1/4", and a one ton has a wheelbase of 137". The frame on the one ton will probably be thicker/stronger as well, hope that helps.

z48,
The one ton chassis is flat on top in the back and the 3/4 ton chassis has a small kick up over the rear axle. At least that's the way it is on my two trucks.
