Question about hauling 3, 80’s vintage trucks a thousand miles...

This. I've hauled 3 standard full size pick ups on my 48 a few times. However if they are 4 door, or 8 foot beds, they won't fit.
However, it will most likely be cheaper for you to ship them on a regular car hauler.

He said pick up trucks, pay attention.

 

LOL So which is it. 3 pick ups or 3 trucks.

You must not be very old...LoL
In my brain, a standard full size pickup has only 2 doors and an 8' bed. That's what I grew up with. The oddity was the short bed or 'flare side'. For 3 standard pickups you need at least 61' (6" between each) to store them nose to tail.

 

8 foot bed was never standard equipment. At least going back to the early 60s.

 

They must sell smaller sheets of plywood where you come from. Every pickup I've ever owned, except my SWB F100, I've been able to close the end gate on drywall and plywood.

 

That just means every pick up you owned had the optional 8 ft bed. Its a nice upgrade, key word upgrade, not standard equipment.

 

Maybe it's because I've always associated with those who own pickups for utilitarian purposes, i.e. they worked with them. Six foot beds were toys, kinda like most of the ones sold today. My '67 SWB is a toy, it will never work, but my '71 gets abused as does my '88 4X4.

And if making a pickup actually able to perform work is an 'upgrade', it might explain all the useless pickups being made these days.
