| INFO ON 07 Classics
Greetins!
Took the new truck into the custom shop today to have all the goodies added and while they were installing the B & W turnaball hitch they found that my 2500HD has 3500 frame under it. The bolt hole pattern is apparently different so they are sending for a hitch for a 3500 rather tha drilling the extra holes, which is OK by me.
I guess GM is tryin ta use up all those old parts they have left over!
Anyone one else have a crossbreed 
Eric

| The only difference between a 2500 and a 3500 are the springs. The frames are EXACTLY the same. | |

| You know thats what I thought, there tha same on the Fords, but apparently
the bolt holes want line up. Now maybe something changed with the hole pattern from GM and B&W hasnt caught up yet or what.
New hitch was ordered for 3500 HD today, I,ll let you know if it is different
from B&W

| Ok guys , havent got the truck back yet, but I did go on B & Ws web site and found out that the 3/4 ton 2500HD takes kit #1061 and the one ton 3500HD takes kit #1062.
Bolt holes would not line up on my 07 classic 2500HD with kit #1061
Ordered kit #1062
Will post back with pics when I p/u my ride.

| THE REST OF THE STORY
1) Diesel N Dust is correct (Frames are same): 
2) Beds are different (Go figure) 2 extra cross braces in 3500HD
3) My 07 Classic 2500 HD has a 3500 HD "BED" on it.
4) B&W Part #1062 is for 3500 HD BEDS
I,ll get pics of the difference in the braces on the bed and post asap
Might save someone the freight charges

| Hey Eric did ya get those pics yet? This is interesting. I have the B&W turnover hitch intalled on my 2500HD but I have no idea what the part number is. Maybe it's on the hitch somewhere? Keep us posted.
Hey maybe you have a 3500 and they put the wrong badges on it!!
