Box filled with bulk fertilizer at about 55lbs per cubic foot.
I once had almost the same truck (although back then it was actually an F100) but with a 302 V8. Empty weight was just 3800 lbs., and GVWR was just 5000. Can't recall what the RGAWR was, maybe 3200?
By my math the fertilizer was over 5,000 lbs. Good thing it's flat where you were, out here in the west the clutch would not have survived long trying to start that load on a hill!
