BTW - that dump bed will probably have a 3 ton rating but you would not want to load it that much. My 83 C20 has a dump conversion (not a dump insert like this one) and I am about 5600 lbs empty and 8600 max GVWR - so only about 3000 lbs payload possible. My truck will only lift 2000 lbs. because the hoist is moved farther to the rear to accommodate dual tanks, but that is using the pickup bed as the dump bed, so I would not put more than 2000 lbs in it anyway.

For reference, filling up my bed with dirt about 10-11" deep is one ton. On the other hand, you can load all the yard waste and general trash you want high up above the cab and not get to 2000 lbs.
