    Hello, I traded in my 1/3 ton Subaru Outback for a GMC Sierra 1500. I am wondering how people transport their saws when they have a full load of wood. I don't really want to carry them in the cab, unless I can find a really tight box or build one that'll fit. Any & all suggestions are appreciated!

    I always save space for saws and stuff. They never ride in the cab.

    My favorite way to transport saws when I have a full load:

    I am guilty of having them in the cab of my truck from time to time, but I usually end up regretting it. Even if nothing gets on the carpet, the smell isn't pleasant (and it's a safety hazard)

    This but add a cable and lock. It's a Cali thing.

    I have 'buried' my saw before so I could go into a store without worry while loaded. Usually just integrate them into the load if security is no issue.
