Probably somewhere between 500lbs-1,000lbs depending on how you have it kitted out, your weight, how much fuel, rear seats, spare tire, etc. Like was said above Your best bet is to check the GVW on the door jamb sticker and then weight it. If you are getting your dirt from a gravel pit/bulk materials place they should have a scale, just note the empty weight when you go in and do the subtraction. They'll do that to charge you anyway. I'd expect your payload to be a bit over 500lbs if you've taken out the rear seat and aren't too much of a chunker.

In the back of a Bronco? When the loader dumps that stuff would make one heck of a mess in the front. Obviously the top would have to be removed first.

Gosh, I was thinking the back...where else where you thinking? The hood? I’m 99% sure that won’t work. I would take the top off, if I didn’t I think the dirty would just roll off. I use usually use a tarp thrown over the back. Once the load is in I fold it over. The tarp also makes taking it out easier. I also remove the rear seat.

Thanks for the wise guy answer. I would use the back of my pickup. I have put bags of mulch/ top soil in my Broncos but never did I consider having a load of loose dirt dumped in the back. The “dirty” won’t just roll off it will get into everything. It sounds like you have done this before so why bother to ask now? I say go for it: load it up until it overflows the sides and the axle is almost on the bump stops.
Oh, come on now, you have to admit, your 1st reply was pretty funny. The instruction to remove the rear cab had both me and my son belly laughing. So thanks for that!
I think having a loader dump anything in there is a dumb idea. I wasn’t sure if you were going remove the top or shovel it in through the back.
The engineers who designed and built it disagree with you. But I do agree that hauling with it isn't my 1st choice...i usually use my sierra 2500 for big loads, needs a new steering pump and I don't have the luxury of waiting.
Show me where the designer or engineer wanted you to use it as a pickup bed the way you are planning. An advertisement will do showing it being used to haul a load of loose dirt, mulch, etc.

LOL, almost as funny as you not knowing where the load was intended to go! The bronco was always considered part truck - so much so, the designers of the gen1 had factory cab dividers that turned the back into a bed. Here you go! Truck bed straight from the factory!
Thanks for the history lesson but I’m fully aware of the half cab. Yes, there is a divider to keep the debris from getting into the passenger area which your FSB does not have and was never offered. Picture take from my house.
‘67 factory half cab w/ 289.
yes, you were done from post one when you suggested the cab needed to come off for me to get the load in the truck. All in good fun, it was a funny post.
