<VV> FC Interior Dimensions

[J R Read_HML]

Rampy is not here at the moment so I can't take a tape to her.  But, I can 
tell you that I've carried a piano from Illinois to Wisconsin and it fit 
(close) across the bed and rode easily all the way.

On another occasion, I carried home a wooden "kit" 10 X 10 shed about 15 
miles from a Home Depot.  The employees were unsure of the weight of that, 
but once it was loaded and I saw what the tires looked like, I went straight 
to a gas station to add air.  I suspect that I was at or above the 3/4 ton 
load capacity on that one.

On another occasion, I filled the bed with "bulk" mulch from a place out in 
the country, probably 25 miles away.  Two mistakes on that one....  I did 
not have a cover and had to stomp around on the load to keep stuff from 
flying out.  The other was related to the truck.  I was (at that time) not 
aware that there was supposed to be plastic plugs  in those 3 oval holes 
along the left side of the bed.  Some of the mulch found it's way down 
between the inner and outer side walls.

In what dimension will the 4'x8' not fit?  Most of what I move around
is bulky as opposed to particularly long in any given direction: small
motorcycles, scooters, and parts, pro-audio gear, an occasional car
engine or landscaping boulder -- stuff like that.

If I were really going practical, I'd just pick up an old Ford
Econoline, but if I ever own a vehicle that is purely utilitarian,
that will probably be the end of me.  If an FC could meet maybe 80% of
my needs, I'd rather go that route than a generic box van that could
do all of it.

Thanks for the input --
