Make sure to have a red flag on the end hanging off the bed and lights if you will be driving during in the dark.

Legally you should be fine without a flag, I think the law is anything over 4 feet. But heck, how hard is it to tie a red rag to it.

Won't be driving in the dark, but I didn't think about the bow obscuring my drivers side tail light. I think I'll wedge my milk crate between it and the bed wall to get it clear of the brake light. That should keep the John Q Laws off my back.
