Re: 1950 1 ton to 1/2 running gear

I'd think that the best idea would be to find a decent 1/2 ton 3100 frame. Otherwise i'd shorten the 1 ton frame up and probably z it behind the cab or c notch it.

I'm not sure that 1/2 ton springs will bolt to the 1 ton spring mounts though as I have never tried it. The frame will be a lot heavier but that shouldn't be a big issue.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
