Reminds me of a mistake I made that I won't repeat. I was hauling a motorcycle in the bed of my 91 C1500 and had it secured with ratchet straps, but I hadn't properly tied off the excess amount of the strap that I had left from securing the bike. I was driving down the road when I heard a loud "Pow" sound and the truck jumped up like I'd run over something. The excess strap had slipped down between the cab and the bed and wrapped around the drive shaft. It ripped the strap into while pulling down on the front panel of the bed. No aluminum here, it just put a slight depression in the top of the front panel.
