nice ! I need to make a new set after my old metal ones wear out...
that's true! but they still like to break just the same... welding needs to be at home , and wood can be fixed just about anywhere... lolSeems like it would be pretty hard to wear out metal ones.
Nice! You can really load it down now.
Yes you just can't have splits or rounds falling off on the road. Rated capacity of the truck is 3060 to 3945 #s. Wonder why there is such a variance?
Are those payload numbers for all F250s of that year, or for crew cab, longbed, 4x4 f250s? Since a base truck weighs less, it'll have more payload capacity.
Some real picture perspective optical illusion stuff happening there. One pic they look straight up & down, the other look like tilted way out at the top front.
Still nice looking though.
I just googled it and those #'s came up. Since mine is a crew cab with 8' box I suppose it is less. (It is a big truck)
Of course the only real way to know your payload is to put whatever you normally carry, tools, etc in the truck, fill up with gas, and head to the scale. Subtract the number from your GVWR and you'll have the amount of weight you can load. As I understand it, you're unlikely to get a ticket unless you're actually over the GAWR of over of your axles, but it's good not to push the limits. It would be cool to spend some time checking the scales with an empty truck as well as with a full load of wood. Be fun to know how much each axle is carrying in addition to the total number.
Looks great.
My new wood hauler comes with a ladder rack. Going to see how that looks once I install it and then go from there for sideboards.
