I mean a van similar sized to a Ranger/B-series, kinda like the HiAce that we've relied on for years and years here in Scandinavia
I'll eventually be buying a small pickup in the future, so to the truckfags that haul items in the back often...

can't you just "snap" a cap on and off?
Luis Rivera
The whole chassis frame and under the bed.
My tailgate rusted out too. But nothing serious, if you do see bad rust its usually not very hidden.

They're typically clamped on in several points to keep them completely down & safe. Pic related; lower part of a clamp
Plus they're also kinda awkward to handle/lift on your own. If you'd be doing it super often I would recommend building a rig that could attach to some hooks/bars on the cap

Oh and I had no problems really. The clutch slave cylinder went but it was cheap to fix, just a pain as it was in the trans.

1. Get a rolling cover (good luck finding one for a discontinued truck).
2. When even in faint doubt, strap down. Way too many people carry cargo in an extremely unsafe fashion.
Caleb Sanders
if you get a rack to hang it on (because I'd imagine getting it off the ground by yourself is hard) can you lift it on yourself if you walk on a ramp?
Oliver Gonzalez
They're not too heavy to lift unless you're a skinny faggot who only lifts his dakimakura, its just that they're large and you kinda want to get it on and off without damaging it or the paint. A ramp would definitely make it easier

Here, its family hauling mini-vans, or those newer "transit" cargo vans, since the big three basically killed off their old RWD work vans. I sometimes wonder if people who used to drive those old work vans for decades dislike the newer transit ones because of their design. Either way, I don't really want to go the van route.
Fiberglass caps are heavy. Aluminum caps are lighter, but are probably a pain in the ass to remove and put back on all the time.
Good to know. Thanks.
Nice, I wonder if they ever made one for the Ranger.
>Way too many people carry cargo in an extremely unsafe fashion.
Yeah, I want to avoid this. This will be my first truck, so I'm curious. I currently do all my hauling with a beater Mazda Protege with the back seats down.
Ayden Garcia
i know they're the same, i was just telling op to get one since he said he was considering. the mazdas are harder to find though
