Default 4x12 drywall in a pickup truck?
wrote:
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?

There is no problem, assuming that you have a real
150 and not a show dog like the F150 Harley
Davidson. The 2 foot over hang won't have any
negative effect on the drywall or the tailgate.
