I should do that now... An 8 foot bed, with the tailgate down would only be 3.5 feet of overhang (unless they consider the part on the tailgate overhang, too, in which case it would be 5.5, hmmm) Once home, figured I'll use a combination of gravity and my chain hoist in my shop. Think I can (locally) borrow a full size pickup like an F150/250, but if the overhang is going to be an issue, I may need to re-think, take you up on your offer. Exeter is a bit farther north of the 402 than I am to the south, so more distance. Hate to ask you to actually make the trip across the border with a borrowed truck/trailer, too... Thanks for the response!!
