The lack of engineered modifications were the drill mount,rollbar and the points to hookup the slings to airlift the truck to remote sites.
When i got it the box had been removed and the drill mount and other mounting hardware were on the back.Luckily when the modified it they didn't wreck any factory stuff so it was fairly easy to return to the box configuration.Even the wiring was complete to re hook the lights.

Oh I got ya.
 
We have just been dragging them in from the back yard this year :)

I pick "Name that stove for 2000"
What is an "Earth Stove, Jim".
 
got this thing recently...primarily for mowing, but cant wait to use it to lug some wood around! I was looking at second hand ones initially, but this thing came up on sale with free trailer for $2800 (AU). also has 5 year warranty. i was suspicious about the tuff torque diff on our block because it is a sloping block, but my first few runs have been impressive. even did a trial in the wet and it pulled hard up the hills no worries.

Just a light load on this time. Usually it's that high but stacked.

This truck is no longer road legal for a number of reasons. So it's just used for going back into the woods and getting rounds or hauling spits short distances that don't involve public roads. My dad beefed up the suspension with helper springs a long time ago, so we can stack on till it won't lay in the bed. And we're never on public roads, so a few sticks falling off isn't a big deal.

I'll have to get pics of the cart and tractor tomorrow.

Funny you should say that. If it was a '78, it may still be road legal. It's a '79, the first year for emission controls on the F250. Those have since been taken off, of course, and it would be more trouble than it's worth to find all of the OEM parts and replace them. Other issues have since cropped up, but it was the emission controls and the resulting lack of inspection that caused it to be taken off the road in the first place.
