Several members have mentioned flatbeds, that seems like the perfect option. Little side story on that...2 years ago I was looking at a couple of wheel well rot holes on my F350, only on the passenger side. That was when I noticed how rusted out my bed floor rails were!
That day I priced out aluminum flatbeds, seemed like $2500 is more or less what they run. I would have pulled the trigger but, lucky me, at that time I had a abscessed tooth and had to get a $2,800 root canal.
So I got the root canal and redid my floor rails and patched the rot holes and some floor holes for about $400 and my labor. It came out fairly decent actually.

Yep I agree. After getting married we lived “in town” for years as we saved for property in a rural area. 17k population, and we had a rare 1/2 acre lot, but it was city to us. Now after living outside of town for 15 years neither of us could imagine moving back to that “big city”. I had pickups in both places, but smaller trucks when in town.
I like the larger taller boxes of newer trucks. But I can’t hop into them as easy as the old styles.

It's hard to imagine living in town, haven't since I got married & moved out from Mom & Dad's. It seems 20 miles to a Walmart or HD is just about the minimum distance (away) for me.

130 miles from Wal-Mart and Home Depot. I still think that is to close. Have you ever seen the people of Wal-Mart? Resemble something out of Deliverance or Rocky Horror Picture Show! Skerd!
You need to add a disclaimer. Don't watch the people of Walmart if you are eating or have a bad heart.
Could also cause Blindness! Only good thing about it is that it makes you feel better about yourself.

Are we talking about those that work at WM or shop at WM?
Hahahaha Shoppers normally...and when did shopping in pajamas become a thing?
