Years ago the 5500 Ram had a much beefier chassis which included bigger brakes, axles and tires/rims. Gearing options were different different transmission too. Straight frame rails, stiffer springs. Second fuel tank, but you lost the wind up spare tire. I've seen them built into overland campers with military style SRW tires on them.
Haven't looked at a Ram 3500 C&C in a while. I guess they still have the rear fuel tank, check and see if the frame is different. Not familiar with the other brands...
I would think the straight frame rails on the heavier C&C model is more desirable for custom mounting a camper body.
