NOTE: wasn't my truck, wasn't my idea, only the bronco was mine

This is how they loaded this guy at HomeDepot today. I had to get a pic. I am not sure that he wouldn't have been better had he not put it all in the bed of the truck. If I would have had time it would have been fun to follow this guy for a few miles just to see the truck roll. I would guess 50 percent of the weight was still on the forklift when my slow phone took the picture. The back of the small truck was another 12" higher than that when they backed the forklift out.

If anyone is interested, the truck pictured is an M817 w/w - Curb weight is just a few pounds shy of 24,000lbs.

BDL for sure.

No kidding, never seen anyone install one of those on a short wheelbase truck.

I've got a cousin who hired out delivering phone books. Borrowed a trailer from somebody and then drove around town unloading it from the back. I don't know how long it took, but eventually he found himself driving down an overpass with all the remaining books on the front of the trailer and none behind the axle. Too much tongue weight made things squirrely, one thing lead to another and he was on the ten o'clock news for the pile up he caused at rush hour. Wish I had pictures of it, but to this day the story is brought up anytime he wants to borrow anything.

Under the hood
No, he decided he didn't need the spare and for some reason he didn't think he could fit it on the car with the other 4

why not put two on the roof in the middle? That would work a lot better then those three stacked on the back...take some weight and more it forward as much as possible....what's inside that he can't one inside too?
