Use this sheet for the right configuration
The similar names can hide a major purchasing distinction. Decide whether the work needs a single rear axle or tandem layout before choosing a body. Yard access, axle loading, suspension and service requirements belong in that decision alongside engine power.
Confirm the finished truck
Measure the installed body and equipped vehicle, obtain axle scale weights and check the VIN-linked labels and body-builder records. No finished payload, universal towing capacity or interchangeable body approval is inferred from these reference figures.
