On closer inspection the military frame is made of 3/16" material as opposed to 1/8" on the half ton. The inside of the frame measurements are the same. The one tons were likely made of 3/16" material too.

Those frames remind me of the frame of the '41 KB 2 I restored back in the '80's..
It came out of a farm west of Prince Albert,from the original owner..That truck never saw salt..and when I took off the bumper bolts ,it was with a 1/2 drive socket set..no heat..no impact sockets...no penetrating oil...just a 1/2"drive ratchet with no two foot pipe as an extended handle..
It was wonderful..Like working on a new vehicle..
It was the gumbo that helped to preserve it..
Those that are not familiar with Saskatchewan gumbo(Mud) have no idea what real mud is until you have experienced a rainey spring days drive on a back road in gumbo country..
