All good ideas and good points. Looks like I will just buy some small straps. Currently the only strap I have is like 20' long and the longest chain I have is like 12". I do have a crap tone of twine though! I will work it out.

I just want to get it outside and pressure wash it.

Not related to the truck but I did get my LS1 tore apart last night and ready to take to the machine shop. I am really missing my trans am.
