Default max weight I can carry

What's the max weight my 2001 Dakota truck bed can carry? can it handle a 600 lb welder? Any pics of someone that has one in the back of theirs?

I've put about 1500lbs of gravel in mine before, so I don't think you'll have much of an issue. It drooped quite a bit and didn't go over 40, but it did it.

I've loaded 1200lbs in one at work and it didn't even sag! Just as I set it on the tailgate to push it in, with a fork lift. I love hydraulics!
