My Toyota pickups have never had more than a 6'3" box, and I've never
had problems carrying 8' goods. Most small trucks and aftermarket
liners) have notches for 2x6's in the bed so sheets will sit on the
wheel wells.


When I think of my '85 Toyota vs. my '05, I can't believe they still
call them "small" trucks. G
