^^LOL! Back in the day....had an early 80s model 1/2 ton Ford long bed. Wanted to pour some concrete and decided to mix it. Drove to the local cement place, ordered a yard of gravel and they directed me under the chute. Began opening the chute and the gravel came pouring out....and the bed of that "1/2 ton" immediately went to the bump stops and beyond. The guy up top shut it off with a huge grin, "might wanna come back and get the rest". Drove back to the house with the back almost on the ground and those lightweight tires bulged like they were going to pop. Didn't have enough gravel to get much over the wheel wells....just in the middle.
