I know some older trucks used to use the same frame (I'm pretty sure) between one and 3/4 tons, with the difference being axles and suspension. You already have the 1 ton axles. Not sure if that is the case with these Dodge pickups, but worth looking into IMO

In the case of this truck you are correct, the V10 has the same frame, axles, front steering gear, tranny, transfer case etc as the one ton did in 94-2003. It is only true for the V10 version as far as gassers go of the 2500 but due to the power (they put out double the HP of the diesel and the same torque) and weight they were beefed up a lot, just like the diesel version was.
