Irish not sure what your asking here? How can I tell what ton they are by looking at axles and lug nuts? Usually lug nuts are the easiest giveaway, then the rear end and rear springs if you can get a quick peek at them, count the leafs. If it's a dually then it's obviously 1 ton or some kinda experiment lol.

lol i read you other comment and didnt understand what you were saying. but after reading your comment above that one i think i understand. you were saying crew cabs (being 3/4 or 1 ton) look better with long beds. while 1/2 tons (being regular cabs) look better with short beds

For me it's all about the fact that GM didn't build a SWB Crew Square Body. Makes the conversation a little more interesting when you tell someone that you just cut it in half and welded it back together. In a small way it makes the truck seem a little more modern also.

Loosing weight, removed 4" and some misc brackets, on a 1 ton the passenger side shock has to be relocated, and I gave the brake lines a shot of WD40 as they look like an abortion on this truck so they need to be addressed later also.

Here's a picture of the Blazer tank all tacked in, I will remove it, install the rubber under the straps, and weld everything up solid when I weld the frame back together. Pretty good showing for a Sunday morning after feeding some bottle calves.............I'll eat myself a Pop-Tart and go back out and remove the saddle tanks.

Looks good so far. Yea Irish that's what I meant. Unless someone wants to take a crew 3/4 ton, chop the frame, slap a short bed on and through 1/2 suspension and axle under it. Lol. It would be a crew cab 1/2 ton.

Here's a pic of the bed, fuel door relocated for the Blazer tank, body work all roughed in. Due to space limits in my shop I can only work on one side at a time.
