Thank,s Doug | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | 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. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 37 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 37 | Thanx for the comeback 3B.

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. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 37 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 37 | thanx Ghostrider,that is the info I was looking for. tell,s me mine is a 3/4ton Doug | | |
