Re: frame swap for a 4x4
"There is benefit to running a one ton frame and they do all have various height and thickness differences. 1 ton non-commercial use frame will be dimensionally the same as it's 3/4 ton brother, but 1/8" thicker. 4wd frames are 1" taller through the middle to provide room for the t-case. Commercial (C+C, Mil, etc) can be all sorts of weird. I put a commercial 70 2wd frame under my truck."
not trying to be smart with this reply. I cannot understand what is termed as a non commercial frame. most 1 tons built at that time were built for commercial use. they were mainly work trucks except perhaps for a limited nbr at that time going for RV use.
one could have ordered different w/bases and suspension options
there could have been custom chassis ordered for certain fleet applications.
Grendel ; it would be interesting if you could elaborate on this
