all types of sites to help you understand
going in
take gvwr rating off of tag 8,700 or 9,500
weigh your truck (as was suggested)
somewhere around 5,900 lbs
my 48 w/winch, diamond plate bed liner, & rear bumber about 6,200 lbs
not rocket science
also get a copy of Don Bunn's "Dodge Pickups
history & restoration Guide" has all the pw data (that joe shows on his page) +
or another idea
look at the vintage photo section on joe's page and see how the trucks were loaded and used in the field
