I've used my 97 Looooong Bed to accomplish such tasks as hauling the bosses 4-wheeler to the trails along with my own, to helping co-wokers and friends move (must not be a true friend, haven't moved any bodies). I have hauled enough lumber to build 10'x16' shed. Filled the bed of the truck. I think the first load I ever hauled in my truck was topsoil and mulch for a buddy of mine.

Lots of work, and lots of play, And the best damn truck I've ever drove!

 

these trucks can be worked hard and still have some extra power to play too.
