Truck did a little work today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It hasn't been used for much work lately, or driven at all for that matter. But it did a little today. I waited till the roads were clear & picked a route were there isn't any road salt layin to get some firewood. I put my 1/2 truck to work too

Oak sure is going to heat better than the sugar maple I took down in my yard!

Nice truck and good load of wood, I drive thru Easton every Wed. in my Sysco truck if you see me wave or flip me the bird.

That is a very nice truck guy. It’s nice to them used productively once and a while.

I think I have seen you roll thru before! I'll choose to wave

You'll catch a glimpse of my truck as you head North, just look to the left when you cross the intersection "downtown"

Well, to be honest... I didn't do but 15 minutes work loading up. I just backed into a machine shed and 4 guys started loading, I handed them some cash and was on my way

I'm not from here and haven't had any luck finding a place to cut. Trees everywhere, but I'm not crazy about pulling on somebody's place and asking to pay or barter for access. The guys I met today were a great family though and not looking to retire from selling 2 loads of wood either, so it worked out good.

All 4 of them were reluctant to throw wood in my truck for fear of banging it up. I told them not to worry, it's not made out of foil! They like it so well, if I decide to do it... I might end up with a new roof on my house, some cash in my pocket and a new owner for my truck this spring

Nice Jeff! Man that truck sure looks nice! I'm also at the point to just going and buying wood. We have been burning a lot due to the cold and can't keep up. We just got the shop up and haven't burnt wood for over 15 years. now ofcourse we are and had no wood drying. Last weekend my buddy pulled off the side on a county road and cut up a dead tree that has been laying there for over 2yrs. It burnt nice. May have to do that some more, and save the county the hassle. LOL

Don't trade that beautiful truck for a new roof! If your roof starts leaking too bad, sleep in the truck!
