frame/chassis differences
Can anyone tell me the difference between a 1954 f600 frame compared to a f100 version ?
Other than length and heavier duty suspension , what are the other differences ?
Can a f600 frame be used to build an f100 ?

Big truck frames are deeper and thicker metal. See below

On the maximum side member cross section on the f-100 is the height of the frame rail ? 5.92 h x 2.25 wide
