This.

One cubic yard of gravel is usually between 2400 and 2900 pounds, which is well over one ton.

An 8' truck box filled to the top is going to be between 2.5 and 3.0 cubic yards, so if the gravel is 2400 pounds per cubic yard x 2.5 cubic yards capacity = 6000 pounds, which FAR EXCEEDS your truck's cargo capacity.
