Wood Hauler Pics

I love the Doodlebug. Will an old Toyota ever be as "neat" as vintage American iron?

Nice wood hauler you've got there. The dump body is a nice touch.

Nice truck, I think toyotas are cool, have a Hilux crewcab myself, 2.8 turbo diesel, just love it...

It dawned on me that I never added to this thread after acquiring my current wood hauler.

Sold my 2nd gen Cummins dually last winter; couldn't justify the payment; still needed a truck though...


So I forked over some cash for this '82 Dodge 1 ton 2 wheel drive beauty! (yes the pictures were taken last January)

Complete with redneck homebrewed overload springs

Wood shims holding in the radio

And a fully functioning dump bed

Not one gauge works, nor any body panel exist in a straight manner, and the passenger door likes to pop open at inopportune times, but the engine runs strong, it was one of the few I could find with a manual trans, and the dump bed will laugh as it muscles out a full load of green oak. It evens hauls our trash to the transfer station without complaining about the smell.

Nothing like a vintage truck with a personality, neat truck............................

Nice doodlebug. Like a UTV from 1930? Looks like it gets the work done!

Wow, that seems like a BAD idea crossing that much water with that much load!

Say what they want, a one ton dump is handy. I'm getting air ride for the back on mine it has factory overloads too

Thought I would post a pic of my wood hauler, its a 03 F350 with a 7.3 powerstroke also has a 9 ft. EZ dumper insert. This is a load of wood I am dropping off to my dad. Other pic is of my girl Lyla, she goes everywhere with me. Wish I could figure out how to get all the wood I cut into water because she would haul it all for me. God I love that dog!!!!

[OH_Varmntr]

My 01.5 HO Cummins with a 6-spd manual. 4.10's too. Things a beast and I love it! 21mpg can't be beat either!

 

[bluestem]

Can't remember if I have posted in this thread...

Here is what I use to get the wood home.
06' F-250 with a 14,000# equipment trailer.

 

[little possum]

Rope, go for the Cummins swap, I could use the 400! Pretty sure my 390 block is cracked. Tired of messing with it, so just gonna try to find a runner to swap in there.

Need me some input.. I'm looking at getting a wood hauler/ work truck..

Right now I'm considering 2 - a 97' Chev and a 95 Ford. I don't know much about 1ton's..

Both have dumps, both are deisel. Chev has 280K km and the ford has 140,000
