THANKS everyone for all the great suggestions and ideas.

The swing arms have extra plating but I think that was because they were rusting out and they were trying to keep them from breaking. No other modification noticed but it is a C20 so it would have been pretty strong anyway. Thanks

Wow that is some figuring. The only way I would have figured that out would have been to put 10 barrels in the bed. Thanks
