PICKUP BOX
• You can carry wide building materials (sheets of plywood, etc.) by building a raised
load floor. Place lumber across the box in the indentations provided above the
wheel housings and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.
• There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side bulkheads of the box in
front of and behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards across the box
from side to side to create separate load compartments in the pickup box.
• There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the pickup box that can
sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
WARNING!
• The pickup box is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers,
who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
• Care should always be exercised when operating a vehicle with unrestrained
cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may
cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may result in vehicle damage. If
wide building materials are to be frequently carried, the installation of a support
is recommended. This will restrain the cargo and transfer the load to the pickup
box floor.
• If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs (272 kg) of material suspended above the
wheelhouse, supports must be installed to transfer the weight of the load to the
pickup box floor or vehicle damage may result. The use of proper supports will
permit loading up to the rated payload.
• Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in an accident causing serious or
fatal injury.
