Short bed + full size drywall = no problem

I love this truck! 4 eight foot 2x4s underneath the drywall so no danger in breaking any sheets View attachment 23840 .

Up our way, you'd have to hang a red flag off the back of that.

When we picked up our truck, we loaded it up with an 8' dining table, 3 8' sections of countertop, and 150 8' 1x2s and drove it all eight hours home. No issues whatsoever. Love this truck.

Where I live the rule is to flag a load that extends four feet or more beyond the body of the vehicle, and I think this is less than that. Is it less than that in Maine? Four feet has been the rule everywhere I have lived.

People around here wouldn't see the flag anyway, unless it showed up their phones, which is what they are probably looking at.

Yep, I used to do the same thing in my '96 2wd ranger. Go to the lumber yard, get your 4x8 material, and pick up a couple 2x4's with it, no problem. Of course 2x4's were much cheaper then, but that's for another day.
