Hey guys, My dad called and wants to go look at a new chassie cab tomorrow, is there any difference in the chassie cab and the regular 3500. The sales guy told me he didn't have a chassie cab in but he could swap a flat bed onto a 3500 but it wouldn't be a chassie cab.
I thought a chassie cab was a 3500 that comes without the bed so you can put what you want on there. Thanks, LCH

 

The frame rails are different sizes. The cab and chassis are pretty standard for different work beds to fit them. If you buy a dually you will have to modify a standard work Flat bed to fit.

 

Yeah the chassis cab frame rails are completely flat, and it would have a 6.7 as opposed to a 5.9 in the 3500

 

A real chassis cab also has the Aisan(spelling?) in it that is PTO capable. Plus the warranty is different. If he needs a chassis cab he needs to hold out for one.

 

Also the chassis cab has a rear mount fuel tank, the frame is alot taller right behind the cab and is not boxed. It is more of a channel design and about a 1/4" thick.

Thanks guys. We're going this morning and I didn't know the difference. It helps to know as much as you can so we can make the best deal. Most of my knowledge is about the 3/4 ton so you helped me out as useall. Thanks again, LCH

 

Well we made an informal deal on a white chassis cab today. We have the price, intrest rate and payments. The dealer is gonna look for one like my dad wants monday or he is gonna order one monday afternoon, at any rate he should have one on the way soon.
Thanks to all who answered me in both threads, it was a great help since the first salesman at the first dealership was full of crap. I said "you should just send someone else out to help us." He found out he couldn't crap us when I pointed out things that he was telling us about the truck that were wrong. What a moron with his orange spray on tan and a quart of hair gel. LOL Thanks guys, LCH
