welcome to the sexy 4 eyed task force trucks

now i'll show my ignorance of gmc trucks...
the frame is straight over the rear axle, if that was a chevy the flat frame would indicate a 1 ton truck. on chevy the 3200 1/2T lwb frame and the 3400 3/4T lwb are the same frame in the FAM (factory assembly manual) and have a hump over the rear axle. the 3800 frame is flat over the axle.
