Sure, when we have more advanced trucks like Chevy S-10s, Ford 150’s, and GMC 1500’s that can take loadsof dirt like you see on TV. That relic belongs in The Automotive Hall Fame!
A Front loader bucket will hold about a yard of dirt.A 1/2 ton pickup can hold about 1.75 yards of dirt.So Volume isn’t the problem.Weight is.A Cubic Yard of Dry Dirt weighs in excess of 1800 lbs.This would far more than can the payload capacity of such a Vintage 1/2 pickup could safely carry.
I love my 81 Ford F-100. Turns on a dime and starts every time. I had to put air bag suspension under the rear end to help support our pop-up camper. Does a great job!

That looks like about 2 tons of topsoil. That’ll strain those springs.

It’s worth more to him running than it would if he didn’t have it anymore.

Just how old does a vehicle have to be, to be considered that valuable. My Econoline is 21 years old and runs like a dream.
