Most manufactures are now using either completely boxed or partially boxed frames. Compared to the rubber like C-channel frames of yesteryear.
Brakes are much larger now with most trucks requiring 17"+ wheels to clear their larger brakes. No more tiny single piston calipers shoved inside 15" wheels with room to spare.
Power is way up from what it was years ago. An early 80's chevy K10 with a 5.7L had 175hp and 275tq IIRC. A 2011 K1500 with a smaller 4.8L makes 302hp and 305tq; and the 5.3L makes 315hp and 338tq.
What makes old 1/2 tons sooooo much greater??? hahaha
