you might want to put a blanket between the wood/drywall and your bed and bed walls...just an idea

RE: hauling drywall
All you need to do it cut two lengths of 2x4 to fit in the flat spots on your bed sides. Put the 2x4s across the bed and stack the drywall on top of them. Ratchet-strap the drywall sheets down front and rear. Obviously you'll need to leave the tailgate open.

Our beds are more than 4 feet wide above the wheelwells. That's why the 2x4s are needed.

RE: hauling drywall
Honestly anything that raises it up above the wheel wells will work, a standard twin mattress is about the same height as the wells and fits inbetween them. Probably don't want to use your bed to put drywall on though
