Have a 1981 F350 dually with a crysteel dump bed with a fold down side. Handiest truck ever. No way would I ever have a regular factory bed or a flat bed. Door sticker says 10,000 gvr or gvrw ? IIRC truck empty weighs around 5,500 ? Hauling 3 ton of stone in the back is a nice load to put in there.

The trucks made today like 450 and 550 with disc brakes all around should really be able to handle loads well.
