We were building a handicap accessible ramp a month or two ago, even though there were two 3/4 ton trucks there, we took mine because everyone else had crap in the beds of their trucks. We didn't realize until we got to home depot just how much concrete we needed.
25 X 80lb bag of concrete
8 X 6x6x8 Roughly 90lb a piece
About 2700 pounds in the bed of the truck, something I'm never doing again.

Since you are talking about putting up fence and using your truck. I use my truck to pull my fences tight also so I can strap them to the poles. It is a lot easy than using a come-a-long or winch to get them tight.

I used my truck and winch to do that once, and it was a royal PIA, mainly because in some spots you couldn't maneuver the truck at all do to the woods line and stands to trees. The next two times I've put up chain link, I used the ATV!!!
