Bummer.
Put an ad up on here asking for one, wouldn't doubt someone has one. Maybe @Country bumpkin could turn you onto one, can't remember which one Mike liked, also @huskihl has built them.
Got almost a bucket of rounds to season, a wheelbarrow load of dead limb rounds that got brought into the house, and 10 logs out of this locust today. Then I scrounged 8 logs out of the next one, about a bucket of rounds, and a few more dead limb rounds. Also got a bucket of rounds from a hackberry near the rd.
I still have a good size cherry near the rd, couple smaller ones, and another smaller locust or two that could come out if I wanted.
Hope to get the good sized cherry done and a stump next to it so I can get the area filled and some gravel on it real soon.
Hi Brett. I’ve only tried the oem cylinders. Usually someone has one that has some aluminum transfer on it that I’ve been able to clean up and reuse.
Thanks for the response Kevin.
Thats what id be looking for, as you know I'm not a fan of supporting the Chinese, or front tensioners
.
Not my style a lot of people use the later beds as the body lines line up but I dont care for it. I have hard enough of a time getting into the 85 4x4 and it's a light 3/4 ton . Only 6600 gvwr .Where you gonna fit this one Mark

Looking closer it appears to be a 68 cab replacement on a later frame
My style is rust free, I like most of those lol.
I here you though, if it isn't what you're into, it isn't what you're into.
I think that front bumper looked pretty bad on there myself, that's not my style at all, but someone else here will probably say they like it, even if they don't now that I said it lol.
Out to work on the Excursion, need to do an insert in the head, blew out the old one, the plug, and the coil pack.
First time doing one, shooting for 35min-50min.
I’ve been looking for a truck that needs a bed. I happen to have a rust free original paint with new wood for a 68 -72 longbed 
This is what I’m looking for . Missed it by about 20 minutes but a friend bought it so I can’t be mad . All original truck no work done to it 56k original miles
This one's pretty gouged up on the exhaust side. I'm supposed to have a decision to fix it or not by the end of the week. If he doesn't want to fix it, I may offer him a couple bucks for it.Thanks for the response Kevin.

Hi guys. Haven't been on for a few days so I missed several pages, too many to read.
Doing pretty good here on most fronts. Getting lots of projects wrapped up finally, getting some ducks, and decent progress with finding a new lady.

I landed a fairly hot bitchy one with insecurity issues last time. I’m looking for a hot one without those other traits this time.

I'm pretty much burn anything waste not want not kind of dude but I do have my limits. Lol. Always a couple bottom of the stack pieces that don't make the cut. Anyway, glad to finally have a chance to get back on the wood and get stacking before winter. Filled the trailer and stacked 2 facecord this evening and saw glimpses of a colorful sunset over my shoulder.

Nice!
I'll keep my eyes out for one needing a bed. That's not a hard find out here though, almost all of them need beds
.I got the excursion done in 55 min.
The kit had a tool for putting air to the cylinder so you can tell if the valves are open( don't want to nick one of them
), it had the wrong air chuck size and the part it screwed into was an odd size so I had to adapt. It turned out great, I ended up using an air nozzle I use for cleaning saws, just unscrewed the tip and I was in business, unfortunately that was after running around for 15-20min and trying other fixes. I also wasn't sure how deep to run the tap, basically I didn't trust what I read in the directions lol. The other 9 cylinders should be much easier.
Lit the stove for the first time left night, warm and snug. 7 months of this to go. I like the heat, but I tire of lugging the wood in quicker and quicker each winter!
