will I still be able to put a 4 foot sheet of plywood into my F150? This won't interfere with the width?

There is generally a little over 4 feet of space between the wheel wells of all large pickups. The Swing Case is only as wide as the wheel well and should pose no obstacle for loading plywood. However if you load more than two or three sheets of plywood you will not be able to access the Swing Case due to the height of the stacked plywood.

I have installed mine in a 1/4 piece of plywood to insert in a sliding basement window when it is open. I haven't had any issues doing this so I would imagine that it can be customized to fit into material of any thickness.

You have several issues here. First, consider what is holding up the 2x4. I wouldn't put a point load of 400 lbs in the middle of a span of say, 8ft. I have mine supported by a 2x8. The bolt hole spacing on the hoist is about 3 1/2 inches, so the 2x8 is wide enough to cover the holes. I bought some longer bolts (2 1/2 i think), bored the hole pattern of the hoist through the 2x8, and bolted it without using the steel brackets and short bolts that came with the hoist. If you already have a 2x4 in place, you could do the short span of 2x8 like i did and then attach the 2x8 to the 2x4. That would accommodate the bolt pattern and add stiffness.

I coated a 4 x 8 utility trailer with 22" walls on 3 sides and had a bottle left. I may not have coated it as heavily as I would have my truck bed. If I were doing a full size truck bed I would order a couple extra to be safe.

The inside width on mine is 37 inches. The inside length on mine is 74 1/2 inches. I have a thick mattress (springs inside) about 9" thick. I do not have plywood over the slats and find the mattress works fine. Nice thing is you can try it without the plywood and see what you think...If it doesn't seem right, you can then add the plywood. I think it will all depend on the mattress you use. My assumption is 4 inch or 6 inch foam will not feel right on the slats alone. On bunk beds for the grand kids using 4 inch foam, I definitely had to use plywood over the slats on that kind of bed.... Hope this helps. Frank The inside width on mine is 37 inches.

Width of your truck bed needs to be 54.5" or wider - my Nissan Frontier was NOT wide enough (especially with bedliner) and I had to (sadly) return it. See the installation instructions here: http://www.heininger.biz/sportsrack_bedrack.php

possible. if you haul items that fit inside the bed, and extend to or pass the tailgate such as plywood, then no problem. jus lay the plywood over the ladder and be on your way.

The brackets on my truck are right at the edge so they are not in the way. You would have to flip the ladder out of the way. I slide plywood etc. into my truck and everything is clear. I like this ladder and the cost was good for the quality. I have a 2008 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 with tall tires and it still works fine.

The nominal dimensions of the 4x4 shouldn't be an issue. The important consideration is the plumb of the post. Insure that the 4x is straight and then mount your post over it butting two adjacent sides; secure with screws. I hope this helps.

Probably not, your best bet would be to buy a roll of it. You can purchase it by the foot in 2ft and 4ft widths.

I don't think you would have a problem. I put mine on plywood with 2x4's as base. I have had no problems even in TX high winds

My hammock measures just over 50" wide, so it will be a little narrow for your truck.

Hello Sir I just ran down into the cellar to answer your question. The horizontal width of the T bar without the ends is approx. 30". Each side of the bar extends out our can be removed. I didn't have the time to check the max. width but I believe it to be 48" which would be the width of a sheet of plywood.

When stowed, the brackets and ladder add only about 1" to the height of the tail gate, but yes. If you have a full size truck, it will not be an issue.

When you use a 2x4 and put the recommended plywood depth as a top, it's almost flush. I used 2x6's on the top piece and 3/4 inch plywood. If you did it that way, and depending on the depth and length, you can hang the top plywood over the edge of the structure far enough to have a clamping surface. Very easy. My bench is about 30 inches deep rather than 1/2 of an 8 foot 2x4 (48 inches). I did that so it would fit into a certain space. The directions (if I remember correctly) are for using minimum cuts on full pieces of plywood and 2x4's. You can plan and make it any size you want.

I would bolt the holds to the plywood before fixing the plywood to the wall. It will be much stronger, less likely for holds to come loose that way.If the 3/4" plywood is already fixed to the wall, I suspect you'd have trouble bolting them up, unless you had access to the back side of that wall (i.e.: an internal framed wall with no sheet rock on either side). If you have to screw them I'd just get screws sufficiently long to get through the hold and the thickness of plywood. Take the holds to the hardware store when you go to pick out screws.Again, I would be a little leary holding onto the holds if they were only screwed.
