Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

[tex78]

Deck is fine and one lighter, newer sled, in middle of truck to transfer weight


New style half ton also, not older

How about an 81 f150 2wd? Most of the box is rusted out. Must be some savings on weight there?

But the mud packed into it, weighs more than the rust that fell off lol

Sleds do fall off decks while traveling to.

I don't own a sled or deck but know this happens

What do you guys think about putting a two place sled deck on a 1/2 ton???

Should be as safe as this. Full credit to Catinthehat who took this picture in the Okanagen last week, but can't figure out how to make it small enough to post.

But what if I slap on a set of air bags and don't take any extra gas? I should be good right!

Come July when I'm hard up for a ride I'd use that to get to the snowline.

I remember when I was 16 or so. We put two sleds in the box of my 1980 gmc. One up front track resting on the box rail. One in the back facing the other direction with the track on the box rail. Would never attempt that these days lol

 

[imdoo'n]

yup, you do what you gotta do. you likely had no problems either

Ford making it close, supercrew, ecoboost, 6.5 box 2650 payload, GMC 2500hd crew 6.5 box, duramax 2793 payload.

Lol I built a wood deck and ramp and put a 300tnt and a motoski on my 1980 gmc 1/2 ton 4x4 lol

For the record my 2015 ford platinum with max tow has a payload of 1517lbs. To get the 2600lbs you need to have a very specific model and features truck to do so. A deck is not in my future.

You must have lots of options. My 2010 with 7700gvw has a payload of 1850lbs.

I did that as well but with 3 sleds. And I also hauled around my 377 citation in the back of my hatch back chevette. Track in first and had buddy hold the bumper in the passenger seat.
