Question about GVWR

[Jayhawk851]

Hey guys and gals. I have a question about my 71 c10. I need to get some rock for a flower bed and I’m not sure how much I can load in the bed of the truck. I’ve seen so much conflicting information about the curb weight of the truck. It’s a long bed with a v8. On the door placard it says GVWR as manufactured is 4400, maximum capability of 5400. Just want to know what I can safely haul. it is lowered front and rear. 5” drop springs in the rear are brand new with new shocks. Brakes are disc/drum if it matters. I hauled a bunch of brick and topsoil the other day and it didn’t ride great but accelerated and stopped fine. I did the math and that was almost 800 lbs. any info is greatly appreciated.
