Turn your compact-pickup bed into a plywood-carrying machine! Construct two frames the height of your wheel wells and the width of your bed (see illustration). Add screw eyes (2-5/8 in. long shaft) for tie-downs, and your compact pickup will easily carry 4×8 sheets of plywood and other building materials.
