The guys with the big bolts posted a few pictures a while back and there were a couple of other pictures of a 1 ton, but I couldn't find any of the 'small' trucks working. So I decided to start a new thread. I've been spending my vacation putting in an above ground pond for my wife. That meant bringing in finely crushed gravel (screenings) as a base for the blocks. I don't know when the shocks were last replaced and the coils are a bit saggy, but there are 2 half elipticle overload springs under there that work great. I switched tires on the back from my 295s to 235s so they wouldn't rub.
Here's Big Red before the gravel dropped...

and after most of the load was in..

Final result was 1.2 metric tons in the old boy.
It was a little tight getting down the driveway...

Oh, yes they do. Most of it, anyway. But that little wannabe truck of yours did okay, looks like. You got the load where it belonged, and it looks like she handled it just fine. Good work. Now get thee hence to a muffler shop and render unto your truck that which it wants!

You did good Freedo!

hotshoe36,
We all own wannabe trucks if size matters. The driver of this truck is having ALL the fun.

Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.
