What's your firewood truck?

[bfrazier]

Ha ha ha - you ALL have me beat! My saw cost more than my wood pickup, but the pickup only has to go around my property to the other. Note the miles as of today...


369969.9 miles. Anybody need some western red cedar kindling???

That Ford is very similar to mine. Same color, same mirrors, same hubcaps even. Mine's a '90 4x2 with a 5 speed and the 300 6. How's yours set up? Mine has been a great truck for me for the last 7 years. With the tires at 80 and good side boards mine will handle a full cord of white oak. It's not in quite as good shape as yours, but compared to the rest of the trucks of that era around here it's pretty sharp. I bought mine in Washington so it's not very rusty.

I need to sell mine though. I brought this one home a few weeks ago. Hasn't hauled any wood for me yet, but I think it's up to the task.

It's an 88 F-250 5 speed stick, 460 engine 4x4 I bought it new in 89.

How many trips to the cord does your dump cart get you?? (About?)

That's awesome. No wonder it's so clean. When I bought mine I wanted a 3/4 ton gasser that guy decent mileage. It did pretty good at that. I would get upper teens pretty easily on the highway and did record 20.5 one time. I put a lot of miles on it when I lived it west and I was driving back for maple syrup season every year. But since I moved back to Wisconsin full time I have been wishing it was a 4x4 with a little more HP. I pull that equipment trailer with my tractor on it a half dozen times a year and that 6 cylinder just can't keep up with traffic. Plus, getting stuck all the time with the open diff was getting old.

I had that same truck when I was 18 it was an awesome truck. I wish I still had it the 460 and 5 speed put out some good power. You can't find a nice truck like that in upstate NY.

I would say around 6 trips if I pack it good.

Just an old Ford with 302 auto and the custom PA winter roads weight reduction package. I know there's a good load on it when it scrapes the hitch pulling in the driveway.
