3/4 ton??

86gs700e -> 3/4 ton?? (2/18/2008 3:37:48 PM)
I have heard that a mid 90's (the truck in question is a 1994) 3/4 ton with the 6 lug wheels is just a glorified 1/2 ton. Is this true? Is it just a half ton with 3/4 suspension? Or is the tranny/rear end different?? What is the difference, if any?? I really have no idea and can find nothing anywhere else on the internet.

Welcome to the forum!!! Not sure what the differences are between 1/2 and 3/4 ton. Someone here should be able to answer your question. Hang in there.

i am not sure, i have the light duty 3/4 ton, it has the 8 lug wheels. big difference i see is the back brake drums and rear spring pack, much larger on the 3/4. the heavy duty 3/4 ton and 1 ton single rear wheel have a different rear hub, i believe its called a floating axle. rear hub sticks through wheel where my wheel looks like a 1/2 ton on drum. I have seen a truck ad for a heavy duty 1/2 ton, but again look at hubs and springs packs.
