That's what I like old school Ford and the thirsty big block!

I wish I had a picture of it. This was as redneck as I can get. I had a Ford Areostar XLT AWD 4.0 liter V6. . After the front end got total and it sat around for a bit, we busted out the 3 back windows, gutted out the interior.


Now we just use the Kubotoa B8200 HST-D and a converted camper trailer. We get firewood off our own land.

I got a 1999 GMC 350 flat bed with a 454 pull any thing you put on it nobody wants to drive it so it's got to go got new engine and Tran's going to miss it

Tough looking equipment, I like your choice of saws too. I really wish we could get those Husqvarna gas/oil cans over here.

Mine is a beater 1988 Chev K3500 350 4spd, it isn't pretty but it was cheap and I dont have to beat the hell out of my RAM!

 

[lknchoppers]

I just got rid of my Black 1991 F250 and bought this 1997 F350 4x4 with a 7.3 liter Power Stroke.



I like to add side boards and an extended tail gate so I can carry more (Shown Below).




Below is my upgrade, ready for side boards.

My deuce performed skidding duties today on several oak logs we decked up. Does that qualify as a "wood hauler"?

 

[rwoods]

Sure does. Here's my A3 posing with a load of wood chunking kids. Ron

Nice!
I use a military truck too!
Here is mine...

 

[rwoods]

5 ton? Ron

5 ton? Ron

Yes

 

[Locust Cutter]

The steering is a lot easier on a 5-ton than a Deuce...

I don't remember that - but I do know that it is a lot easier on a 1029 than either of those beasts!

(for the un-initiated, 1029 is Army-speak for GMC 3/4 ton pick up.)

 

[Otahyoni]

My 85 F350.

The rest of my current pile was hauled with my work's dump truck. Way easier with the dumping bed...

Absolutely!
The deuce has "Armstrong Steering "
A 5-ton has steering that works with 1 finger.
I had both, sold the deuce after I got the 5er.

I like the size, weight, and milage of a deuce over a 5 ton but the steering and 53" tires that are on a 5 ton sure seem nice. I would really like to adapt power steering to the deuce and have locking doors and a keyed or locking starter switch. These improvement would make the truck a nice daily driver & grocery getter.
