Which way to go?
 

I got a 67 model long bed leaf spring truck from my grandmal was originally a 1/2 ton but waunt to build a hauler out of it so I'm thinking 3/4 or 1 ton suspension with either a 3/4 ton with a stock bed or a 1 ton with a steel flat bed or the more period correct wooden bed. Any imput and pictures of the older wooden beds?

There is more to it than just suspension. The basic frame is heavier as you step up. The only way to make a true 3/4 or 1-ton "hauler" from your truck is to swap the cab onto a heavier frame.
