So this is for the math guys really.

If i put a tarp in my truck with a 5'5" bed and fill it with water, how much will it weigh?

Will i ruin anything with having a bed full of water.

I'm thinking half a bed of water and pulling up to a friends house or going to a park to relax with a barbecue as a joke.

haha let me know

 

we did it earlier this year tailgating before our high schools rival football game....workjed well for a lil bit...not too comfortalbe though....water gets colder as it sits.

 

(...it's a joke...so he says)

 

Do the math.

Find the volume of the bed, figure out how much water will fit into it....then figure out how much that amount of water will weigh. That should give you a rough estimate.

 

If ya really want to know.......

Length of the bed times height times depth.

That is your cubic feet. One cubic foot holds 7.48 gallons which weighs 62.43 pounds.

There you have it.

 

would somene just do the math! I would like to know this too!

 

Water (1 cu. ft. weighs 62.41 lb) so say 5f X 5f = 25f and say 2 f deep 50 sq f 50 X 62.41 = 3120.5 lb

 

the Cuft from ford site says bed is 55.5Cuft water =415.14gallons= wieght= 3,464 lbs.

 

We did that with a friend's truck. Lined the floors and sides of the bed with Saran wrap, took a water hose to it and went cruising around town in our redneck mobile swimming pool.

 

make sure to wear some floaties

 

I'm doing this for spring training only with a chevy 3500 with a dump bed and the walls are 3 ft high

 

Haha there you have it.

So if i watch my weight i should be good? Thanks

 

Don't accelerate or stop too fast.

 

Yo...where the hell did the pool go!?

 

415 gallons?!?! Better get started early.
