This reminds me of the guys that used to haul grain with their Ford one tons 
back a few years. These trucks had usually 8x12 boxes with hoists. Sixteen 
inch tires all around, 7.50x16 duals on the back. Seems to me they'd haul 
around 200 bushels. I also recall they had problems with rear wheel bolts 
breaking. Serious overloading but thats nothing new for a farm truck.
