Andy, take her easy, no sense blowing a gasket

Ya it is just a half ton. We are cutting only two miles from my house so don't feel to bad loading it heavy. You take it easy and heal up. You will be back in the woods in no time.

Notice how the dodge 1/2 ton springs can carry more wood than the ford 1ton springs! Amazing.

Put that load on your 1/2 ton dodge and see how far Ya make it. This is 1 ton ford running gear.

 

[Beefie]

Who has a 1/2 ton Dodge? Why don't you run those side boards all the time?

It's to hard to see out of when your plowing snow. The windows on the cab are small so visibility is low.

So its a plow truck, wood hauler, with one wicked front bumper. Cool old ford.

What year is the old ford? Some where between 48 and 54 I guess.

 

[5R-INC]

It's a 48 F-1 on a 72 ford chassis. It has a 390 and c6 tranny. A little under powered and averages 3 mpg. It also has a 20,00 lb hydrolic winch on the back. It was a 2 year project from the ground up.
