Greetings, Jim!
Reminds me of the time I hauled 4 and 1/4 ton of Winter Wheat to a local grain elevator in my old 1 ton GMC re-powered Chevy. My Dad and I had built high sides for the truck specifically for purposes of hauling grain(s). The truck loaded weighed in at 13,500#, and weighed back empty at 5,250#, for a payload of 8,250#! If someone had rear ended me, I wouldn't have felt a thing, but I'll guarantee the vehicle that would have hit me would have suffered some very major damage!
