The other good thing is the back of the Truck make a really good work bench not to many 1\2 Tons out there that will hold this load this long in the bed lol For when you need to take the work with you. 550 engine 200trans 250-300 frame pretty close 1000 lbs only drop's the rear about 1-1\2 inch. This is my 82 700R4 that will be redone to take some power pull I do us my truck for some loads ;D drives really smooth for a old truck when it's load. The bed is 9' long 8' wide + a 12" wide steel cargo box, so the bed drops to a 8' long deck.
