I hauled my ragged out '77 Ford Dump truck home yesterday, finally. I plan to pull the hoist, and dump box setup off the truck. I am really wanting to put it on my '47 WDX Power Wagon, but after looking at it, it looks a bit big. The data tag on the side of the box says its a 3 yard setup. The Box and hoist does not look to heavy, but its the fact that if I have a 3 yard box on there, man, thats quite a bit of gravel I could put in it! I have a bad habit of overloading things. Will it hurt a Power Wagon to haul 3 yards of dirt? Or should I figure out a way to slim up the box so it only holds 2 yards or so. The Power Wagon has frame renforcements, so that should not be much of a concern. I would probably need to add a few leaves to the rear springs and perhaps dual up the rear wheels if I were to stick with the 3 yard setup. Any ideas? Thanks for the input!
