Chevrolet Based Class C *UPDATED AGAIN*

Somebody posted specs awhile ago with the dimensions of the frames and the thickness and tensile rating of the steel. AT THE TIME (because it did not include the new GM 4500), Chevy was the weakest, E450 the strongest, E350 in between.
Not that we ever should, but I've heard: "You can overload a Ford but never overload a Chevy."

The source of this statement could be trying to be misleading. I would hope the Ford E450 would be sturdier than the Chevy 3500. That is comparing a 1-1/2 ton to a 1 ton chassis. As to the Chevy 3500 versus the Ford E350 would depend on which version. The Chevy has been at GVWR of 12,300 lbs almost forever. The Ford E350 was at 10,700 lbs for a while.

The comment on dimensions of the frames, thickness, and tensile strength leaves out one fairly important comparison - configuration (i.e. corrugated tin versus flat tin - can be a big difference, or box versus "I" cross section).
