To safely and effectively haul 20 ft lumber in a pickup truck, you can use a bed extender or secure the lumber with ratchet straps or bungee cords to prevent shifting during transport. Make sure the lumber is properly secured and does not exceed the weight capacity of your truck. Drive cautiously and obey all traffic laws to ensure a safe journey.
a 1997 ford f-150 long bed has a 72.6 cubic foot bed if that gives you an idea...
Yes, a cord of firewood can fit inside an 8 ft pickup bed. A standard cord of firewood measures 128 cubic feet, while an 8 ft pickup bed typically has a volume of about 65 to 75 cubic feet, depending on the truck model. However, if the firewood is stacked properly and the pickup bed is filled to the top, you may need to transport the wood in multiple loads or use a trailer for a full cord.
8 ft for the long bed and 6.5 ft for the short bed.
8 ft bed
The regular base cab pickup has a 8.2 ft bed.The Access cab pickup can have the 6.1 or the 6.2 ft bed.The Limited Double cab pickup has a 6.2 ft bed.
8 ft. long with tail gate up.
Yes. 1 Yard of topsoil will fit in a pickup bed of a truck BUT!!! it is heavy. So you will want to make sure the truck is rated for heavier weights. Probably something like a Ford Ranger or Chevy S-10 would be a little too small for a full yard of topsoil. A yard is basically a full tractor bucket scoop. So if you can get an idea of how much that will be then that should help. Keep in mind that not all tractor buckets are 1 yard. Some are half, and some are more than 1 yard. Any regular fullsize pickup truck should hold 1 Yard of topsoil just fine (regardless of the bed size) as long as it isn't wet.
Normally they weight from 16,000 to 20,000 lbs.
you should be able to get (volume wise) 3 cu yds in a 8 ft bed and roughly 2 in a short bed
How big of a bed do you want? I suppose the norm would be 15 - 18 feet long, though you could have a 24 ft. bed and have it only be a tri-axle if you wished. Bed height... well, that's going to depend on what your commodity you carry is, and what material your bed is made of. Coal haulers, mulch haulers, people who generally carry low weight, high bulk commodities tend to have much higher bed walls than you'd find on a truck which carried stock material, asphalt, or any other high weight, high density commodity.
Need to know the exact model and configuration in order to answer this. A 26k GVW box truck and a 33K dump truck aren't going to have the same tare weight.
