If you want to run a stock frame rather than doing a frame swap they did have 1-1/2 and 2tons in 1953 with 179 inch wheelbases that might stretch a bit rather easily. No vin on the frame so finding that truck in a Texas field with the beat up cab, no engine and missing pieces but a nice straight frame works if a stock style frame is in the plans.
GM Heritage center link. Lots of blank pages when you scroll down but good info in it even if you are going to do a lot of swapping around.

If I decide to use this chassis, this one looks like it will stretch rather easily. I haven't decided if I'm going to use this chassis, or swap it onto a newer 1 ton chassis. I think putting the body on a new chassis would be easiest.
