1995 3500 suspension question

Hello y’all I just bought a 1995 3500 without a bed. I was told the truck used to have a dump bed on it. I’m not really familiar with these old trucks. The chassis looks long to me. Longer than a standard longbed dually. I’m not with the truck so I can’t just go measure it. Do you guys know if this would be a longer chassis than the standard longbed?



Also it looks like the rear suspension is beefier than the standard dually suspension. Can you tell by looking? Is this standard and if it’s NOT is it even an option to swap it to a standard dually rear pension? Thanks

If it's longer than an 8' box then it is either a cab/chassis model or somebody lengthened it...not sure what the actual wheel base offerings were but I bet someone on here knows or the internet may help....looks like a tall spring pack for a 3500....

The c&c come in 5' and 7' cab/axle dimension. Pickup is just shy of 5' something like 4'9".

My 95 ex dumptruck was a pickup with the box removed. They also have a frame splice at the fwd spring hanger. The C&C's I have seen do not. Pic quality isn't the best there. That frame has also been cut off after the rear spring hangers.
