I have a 1997 H1 which is a 10.3 GVW. It needs both frame rails replaced. Im having a hard time finding 10.3k frame rails, but 12k seem plentiful. My question is what would I need to make 12k rails work on my truck. Or does anyone have leads on 10.3k rails

Im pretty sure all 1ton trucks had jcodes

does that work?
