Moving full ply/mdf sheets in a pickup?
shardian:
I have hauled plywood and mdf in a Ford Ranger and here is what I do:
Slide sheets in with tailgate up - sheets will be propped up on tailgate.
Criss cross a tie down across the center of the plywood and latch to hooks on each side. Repeat with another tie down from the other side.
Do this and the plywood isn't going anywhere.

Hmm, I didn't realize they shrunk the size of the bed in the standard truck. My 1974 F-100 has a bed size of 4' (between the wheel wells) by 8' with the tailgate up, so its never been an issue for me.
crashwg:
Keep in mind that a sheet of MDF is in fact 4' 1" so if the distance between the wheel wells is in fact 4' it won't fit.

This one has a back seat.

It fits. There's a reason beds are the dimensions that they are. I have hauled 4x8 sheets of MDF in the back of a truck with the exact same bed, and I've got a plastic bed liner.
You know, honestly, this is the most pathetic thread I've ever read.
If you can't figure out how to lay down a piece of wood in the back of a truck... man... I dunno.

Opinions may be like buttholes, but some opinions are much bigger than others - if you get my drift.
