I would get a $40 drum dolly from Northern Tool (HF doesn't have them) and put a couple of eye bolts in a corner(s) of the sides/ends of the bed to keep it from rolling around when driving. This is not a suggestion and may be more dangerous than having the barrel flat on the bed of the pickup truck. Your experience may be different than mine. https://www.google.com/search?q=northern+tool+drum+dollies&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-ab or Google "Northern Tool drum dollies" Gerry --------------------------------- OK Don wrote: > Chains are around the barrel - I lift it with an engine hoist.
