Hammock in Pickup Bed??

[ciphoto]

I'm no injaneer, but it seems everyone is thinking inside the box (or the bed of the truck) on this one.

Could he not use the stake pockets and using some welded square stock angled and braced to extend out further than the diagonal corners on the truck get the distance he wants to hang a legit hammock and sleep in peace?

There would be a weight penalty but you're gonna pull the things out of the stake pockets and carry in the bed anyway, right?

This concludes our brodcast day....

My thoughts too... the diagonal in a 6.5 bed is about 8' so it wouldn't take much to increase that so you could hang in comfort....
