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.

Truck looks good silver. Take the step bars off though. I took mine off the other day and it looks so much better with them off besides your truck is low now anyways so you don't really need them.
