Nice! That'll do. Watch the weight. I also haul with a half-ton, but due to weight limitations, usually resort to hauling a trailer with it.
 
I will be bringing the first load of firewood home Saturday
 
Those inline 6s run forever. Nice score and a good price!
 
Nice scavenge. I need to do something similar soon. A nice little 6 with a 4 speed would suit me fine. Problem is too few folks buy new manual transmissions so used ones are rare.
 
I think a 3/4 ton and up Dodge is the only new truck you can even get a handshaker in any more?
