I  am  the  proud  owner of a Legend 4  wheel  scooter.   It  was purchased  
for me by my HMO, Kaiser Permanente, after much  delay and  bureaucratic 
garbage.  I guess they finally realized that  I was not going to forget about 
it.
My  question is this.  Currently, the only vehicle that  I  have, which  is  
equipped  with  hand controls, is  an  old,  3/4  ton, Chevrolet  pick-up 
truck.  The truck bed is 32 inches  above  the ground.   What are my options 
to get my scooter up and down  from the  truck  bed?  According to the data 
that I've  seen  a  ramp, which should not exceed a 15 degree incline, would 
have to be  at least 11 and a half feet in length to meet that requirement.  
Not to  mention  the  weight  and  difficulty  of  deploying  such  a 
monstrosity,  unless it somehow folded, it wouldn't even  fit  in the truck 
bed.  Of course, cost is a major object also.  Is there anyone out there that 
has overcome a similar problem?  Are  there any suggestions?
When  my  ship comes in, I intend to get some type  of  van.   At least 
that's the plan, but for now I want to use my scooter  away from  home and 
for that I need to get it onto the  truck.   While I'm  at it, are there any 
suggestions regarding the 'best'  brand and  model of van to use for 
transporting a scooter.  I  probably won't  be  able to get a new one, 
however,  any  suggestions  and information are welcome.
Thanks, in advance, for your help.  Take care.
