My truck is a 2500HD Silverado, with the 6' 6" bed. I might need to transport steel square tubing that might be around 9 or 10 feet long and cross-section of around 3" x 5". I can close the tailgate. With tailgate down the truck bed is around 7' 6".
My question is how many feet past a closed tailgate is allowed? Is there a federal rule governing length of equipment past tailgate?
I have transported trees that extend 2-3 feet past the top of a close tailgate, with the required red cloth tied to the end.
