    I have a simple question for the right guys. A buddy of mine is working on a shop truck and needs to know is all the sheet metal from the cab forward on a 1 ton the same as a 1/2 ton truck ?

    ...the front sheetmetal from a Chevy one ton is the same as a 1/2 ton; you must have stuff from a larger truck. Trucks larger than one tonners do have bigger fender openings, flatter hoods and grille bar spacing is a bit bigger.

    grill bars are the same...you could find a grill from a smaller truck and swap your chrome grill bars.......whid

    One ton is the same. My truck is a one ton, check out my album for pics. If you go larger than one ton then the fenders hood and grille are different.
