I loved riding in the bed of my dad's pick up when I was a kid. We use to sit on the wheel wells. It wasn't uncommon back then. A family of 5 can't sit in the front seat of a pick up and extra cabs weren't very popular in the 70's and early 80's.
I Couldn't imagine letting my kids do that today.

It is legal with no restrictions in 17 states. In 30 other states there are restrictions but still legal. For Tennessee:
Tennessee — On Tennessee’s state highways, anybody over 12 years old can ride in a truck bed. Also, children as young as six can ride in truck beds within city limits. - See more at: http://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_li...the-back-of-a-truck.html#sthash.A7lx93yw.dpuf
 
If I didn't want to ride in a truck bed, I'd be walking home from school every day.

I think the law in .CA these days depends on how much bubble wrap you have on, whether the truck is a hybrid, and if Jerry Brown has taxed said hybrid truck by how many times it switches from electric to gas.

Used to ride in the back on the way to a nearby lake in Ireland, went across country in the back once (it's not a big country)... We just used to do it that way all the time, nobody cared (we'd also drink the entire way too, because it's Ireland)... Nobody does it anymore there either.

Right? The kids may be safer these days but we used to do all kinds of shit they will never get to experience. And yet we lived through it and were probably better for the experience.
