I drove a '70 C/30 157" WB with an 11' utility body and always parked in the open unused part of a lot, or on the street along the curb. It was also kind of wide, like a Dually and big mirrors. Now that everybody and their brother and sister are driving trucks it's different. I swear I used to notice how it seemed most anyone driving a pickup had common sense because they were generally the type of person who got through life on it. Working men, or their woman. Salt of the earth.

Something you might find
funny: to save on gas and trips to town, sometimes my wife would ride into town with me with a load of logs, and after we unloaded and fueled up then we would go to the grocery store with the 2-ton and the empty log trailer behind
Everything had to fit into the single cab with us because there was no bed at all on either truck or trailer, just log bunks.
More recently, there used to be an unofficial "gooseneck section" at Walmart, out by the garden stuff fence. But now everyone seems to park everywhere. Women pull into a spot with a crew cab and leave the entire bed sticking out into the driving aisle, without seeming to even notice
