This was my favorite day last winter ! It was amazing out nice crisp 15f morning and no breeze. The boots where crunching and I was loving it ! Then I tried to drive out of the field and discovered the truck needed 4 low. It ended up walking out of the field without the pedal needing to be used. Lots o fun that day I love that truck !

Damn! Have you calculated the gallons/cord on that rig?
Gets 8mpg and i can fit two cords in it easy, more i bet if it had sides. But i burn half waste motor oil and used atf so im paying for more like 16mpg of diesel which is almost as good as my powerstroke thats fits only half a cord in the short bed. And i bet my old jeep pickup gets half of that fuel economy yet. So yeah, its pretty good gallons per cord in comparison.
i dont use it too often to haul wood, only when im making a dedicated run for a substantial scrounge. It a pita to lift logs that high!
 
It was also a bummer to see it slowly rotting away. The new owner knows how much of a treasure it is. I'm sad to let it go, but happy that it will be saved.
I'm not going to change my name here though. :)



Glad to hear ya at least found her a good home, Flatbed!
 
I have made arrangements to sell the old flatbed. I don't have the time,money, or work space to do what it will take to preserve it. It will be in good hands and the new owner will be able to take much better care of it than I can. It will be moving to the Live Free or Die state. The new owner posts at this site, so it just might show up in one of these woodhauler threads in the future.
One last picture while its still my woodhauler.

That truck's a beast. Sorry you had to part with it, buddy. Seems to have served you well. Glad to hear it's going to another Hearthy.
 
Hey InfinityMike,
Next load of tree work you need to "get rid of", please dump it on my front lawn!!!! I'll PM my address!

:)
 
Now THAT is what them old dodges were made to do. Beat'em like a rented mule.:cool:
 
The wife use to use the truck to drive back and forth to the university (she bought the thing on her own) where she was a asst. prof before she went back for her PHD now i got stuck with the truck.

This is a pic of about as much work as that truck does.

Swap the boat for a dump trailer and you'd be all set. Wish my wife would stick me with a Cummins. Wouldn't hurt if she had her own tractor either. ;lol
