Bump at work, haulin' heavy load
Yesterday, my boss asked me to move 20-something old railroad ties a short distance(less than a mile). I was working by myself and I said I could do that. Turned out to be a little more of a dirt & heavy job than expected. I've worked with old creosote-soaked railroad ties before, but it had been a while. Anway, here's a picture of my bump hard at work shuttling railroad ties yesterday. I'm glad I put larger off-road tires on it recently. Sure came in handy for not getting stuck on soft, wet ground. Also, a few of those cross ties weighed at least 200 lbs, no kidding! The ones that weren't rotten were super dense and heavy as a rock.

Re: Bump at work, haulin' heavy load
I used my '70 bump when I was doing some landscaping in my backyard a couple years ago, I had 3 tons of nice soft sifted dirt in the back-end. Handled it with ALMOST no problems. When it was all said and done I had to replace some axle bearings, and also noticed that the rear end was bent. Although I'm pretty sure it was bent prior to that, because when I pulled the axle it had the tell-tale yellow paint pen marking that indicated a junkyard part....but hey, it got the job done first!
That 'ol $100 truck served me well. The engine (302) was so warn-out that it wouldn't even get hot enough to blow warm heater air. That thing was a beast!
