Difference between C10/C20/C30 frames?

Been a lot of frame questions lately so how 'bout another. I'm just curious, what are the specific frame differences in a 2WD truck between the half ton, three quarter ton, and the one ton? Obviously each one is a little bit heavier duty but I'm curious about more specifics than that...

One difference is the depth of the channel on the frame between 3/4 ton and 1/2 tons
