Don't forget to tie the sheets to the truck as they have a habit of sliding
out the back onto the road when you pull away at a traffic light, especially
with an overhang. Tie them to the top of the front of the bed and around
down under onto the chassis a couple of times to keep all movement
contained.

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?

How about laying about 3 planks(2x4x6-8-10) in the bed extend them
out the two feet and lay the drywall sheets on them that way sheets are
supported the full 12 feet.

That's the way I'd do it, even support.
