Correct me if I'm wrong but the GVWR wouldn't change if it were an incomplete chassis truck. The weight you could carry might change depending how outfitted (utility box vs. flatbed ect.) but the GVWR which is set by the chassis and suspension wouldn't change.

An uplifter can uprate or derate the GVWR on trucks/vans when playing the game of sneaking around or above commercial limits.
Same goes for if you tag a truck commerically, the GVWR is moot, the DOT guy cares about GAWR and GCWR more than GVWR.
Which is why you see tons of gasser 3500 d00lyz, biggest tow capacity under a CDL A
