Regarding Uhauls, I was under the impression they were more like 10-11', but I'm not sure where I got that number. But also, the deck height seemed like it was less than ~3' in most, which already...

Is this something that can be done with 'practically any' pickup truck just by removing the bed? Assuming it's got the capability to move whatever box and its contents are put onto it?

Or is there...

The main requirement for the truck is for it to be a mobile home. I don't know a whole lot so I could be naive about a few things.

I am taking for granted that most trucks designed for moving or...

No, I don't already have a truck. I don't think I can justify buying a finished conversion, either.
