Curious why you don't want to use the frame you have? The only real difference I can see is that the 3/4 ton frame is 3/16" thick and the 1/2 ton is 1/8" thick. At least from the two frames I've had that's what I found. I'm currently using a 3200/3600 long bed frame that I cut down to short bed. 3200 and 3600 frames are the same( I wasn't positive on this so I looked at a page in the assembly manual), length may vary depending on what long bed length you have. And if you want a short bed just cut it down. Looking forward to seeing your build.
