: I have a small truck with a small cab (Dodge Dakota Sport). I have a rather
: long boat and have not been able to find anything to accomidate it. I want
: some sort of rack to put my boat on to leave the bed of the truck for
: other things (ie. paddles, gear, camping equipment). Any ideas or
: suggestions most welcome!

I use a lumber rack on my ford ranger to haul an 18 foot canoe. I got it used out of the paper for less than I could have bought the steel to build one.
