I drive an S10 with a 72 inch bed and I just put my Cobra Navigator XF 12'6" in the back with a flag on. Ready to load

When I had a truck I really didn't like anything hanging out the end. I have built a couple of simple racks that sit in the bed and allow the kayak or canoe to go over the cab where it's up and out of the way, and leaving the bed open for gear. 2x4's, PVC pipe or steel I've seen it done many different ways.. here's a simple one http://www.flyanglersonline.com/features/panfish/part453.phpand another http://image07.webshots.com/7/0/38/50/110803850pvvPKz_fs.jpg
