What is the weight of a load of gravel in a short bed?

I hauled a load of gravel in my 95 Crew Cab tonight. Just curious how much it weighs. Truck handled it without a problem even accelerated up some hills without having to floor it. Pyrometer got up to 600 and water temp stayed at 195.

Bed was full and leveled off at top of bed.

A bunch of shovels full A friend had more than what they needed and gave the rest to our church for the parking lot. We had to shovel from their driveway.

It was about 3/4 to 1 inch dry. It is a short bed and the load was level with the top of the bed.
