The old fashioned lumber yard used to deliver 16 ft by 8 ft 4 and 5 ft tall hog shades on the back of a '67 Chevy C-30 with 8 ft flatbed. Strap it down tight on the front. They had 2x6's across the bed for the shade to sit on. Guy my Dad drove for hauling livestock was their driver. He'd get the shade where the farmer wanted it and release the strap and the rear dropped to the ground, then he'd pull forward.

The truck could haul 6 or 8 of those per load. The lumber yard used to have a bigger truck, C-60 size, 14 or 16 ft bed but it needed work so they sold it.
