Snow driving coming soon. How much weight needed?

I own a 1990 Toyota Pickup Deluxe (2WD) that will most likely see Ohio snow this winter. Having not driven a rear-wheel drive vehicle in snow in several years, I want to make sure I've weighted the bed properly before snow falls. I know the truck weighs somewhere in the vicinity of 2,500 pounds, but since I don't know how much weight is on each axle, I'm not sure how much weight I need to put in the bed for decent handling. Anyone?
