loaded a 9' x 14' shed in the K20

Just got back from Menards. I'm building a storage shed in the back yard to keep the garage clean for 'projects'. So tonight I picked up:
(24) sheets of plywood
(45) 8 foot studs
(45) 10 foot studs
misc 1x4 and 2x8's
roll of tar paper
(7) bundles of shingles
(3) boxes of siding
misc siding trim pieces

Haven't calculated the exact weight yet, but she was squatting pretty good! Actually got to use 1st gear!

I find it hard to believe any of the newer trucks with smaller beds would have been able to take this on - feels good to have a truck that can haul a respectable load...
