That's not actually true. It's a regular 1/2 ton frame. There is very little difference in the section modulus (stiffness) of the light 3/4 and the 1/2 ton frame anyhow.
The Beau James package is cosmetic, much like the Indy Haulers, Gentleman Jims, Chevy Sports and GMC Street Coupes.
Those floor mats are special, keep them in good shape!
The bedside decals are now being reproduced by Phoenix Graphix.
