I need to get 10 sheets of 4x12 1/2" drywall home. I have an F150 full
bed pickup truck. With the tailgate down, I would have 10ft of
carrying surface. How bad it is to leave 2ft of the drywall (10
sheets) hanging out the back? Also, I think a sheet would weigh about
80lbs...is that right?


Short distance, smooth road, low speed, no problem.

Longer distance, bumpy roads, high speed, buy a few 2X4s to put under
the DW. Don't forget to rig something to keep them from sliding out
the back. DAMHIKT.
