Usually we have a strict rule around here to never pick up used furniture, as it’s entirely possibly infested with bedbugs. But this was a bit different, this was donated from a church school (my bad). It looks basically brand spanking new, save for a small hole in the left arm of it.

Yeah it got half soaked in the rain, but no big deal, it’s at my mom’s place now drying out. Here in a couple or few days whenever she tells me it’s dry enough, we’re gonna haul her old beat up couch away.

Edit: Photo added, cushions are off to the side still drying.

    Nope, 96 GMC Sonoma, extended cab version.

    Unfortunately the couch was about twice as long as the bed of the truck, but I made sure it was secured down well enough for the trip.

    Also unfortunately it was exposed to the elements and got soaked in the rain, but whatever, we got it there and it’s drying out right now. We figure it ought to be dried out enough within another day or two.

    Feel free to skim through my other comments here for more details…

      so 4ft bed :( Everyone who thinks they need a truck should honestly think about a minivan, I have an 8ft bed, and can haul 8 people, and have 2500lb of towing capacity, and I have leather/power everything, and I get 25mpg.

        We didn’t pick the truck, it was a gift from my mom, after her old man passed away late last year ☹️

        Its a pretty tough truck though, 6 cylinder 4.3 liter, so yeah it’s tough enough to haul loads…
