had a '74 Ford 1/2 ton w/ overload springs -
had a wooden stock rack on it - so the solid part was about 1 foot above the normal top of pickup box.....then the slots started -

anyway - put the endgate in - filled her up with oats - went to town - 92 bushel
92*36 = 3312 pounds oats - only had to go 5 miles

our neighbor borrowed it once and hauled his 2200 "calf" to the butcher also

a lot of times we would put 3 700 pound sows in it and take them 40 miles away or 12 210 lb buthcher pigs - that thing would carry anything - we retired it after 20 years and 80000 original miles - tough miles that is
