My ‘68 c10 burb bringing home goodies.
1969 cst blazer that I bought and Never should’ve sold.. Was a bad week and it solved the problem, but I wish I had it back.
And, dragging in what we refer to as “The Ugly Truckling”. It’s a ‘72 c30 underneath that hideous flat nosed outhouse of a cab.
It’s towed everything from civics to a rolls royce Less than ideal but it doesn’t complain a bit

Driven to Lewiston a bunch of times for work. I never seemed to be lucky enough to have good weather when I was there. It was either 95+ degrees, or raining, or snowing, or 10 degrees. The locals would always say " It's not normally like this"
Beautiful country.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

It's definitely God's country.... although it's bordered by Hells canyon! The pictured road is state road 129 in Washington which connects with hiway 3 in Oregon. Anyone up to a scenic trip should come check it out. Rattlesnake grade on the north end is 10 miles of 6% grade and Buford grade on south end is 10 miles of 6% grade with the grande ronde river at the bottom.

Cut some firewood today. Shaggybark costs $250 a cord, month out, from a professional firewood supplier. This is much more enjoyable!

Cool! I have people say it isn't worth their time to cut wood over buying. I'd rather spend Sunday cutting firewood all day than pay $250 to watch a football game on my couch.

I was on my way Saturday morning last weekend to go cut & haul wood in my '72. I stopped at the corner for gas, realized I forgot my wallet before pumping, went to start the truck, and terrible grinding from the starter. It did grind a bit when I started it. It was pretty cold that morning. I drifted it back to the corner of the lot, tried again and the gear wasn't even engaging. Turns out a starter bolt supplied with the mini-starter broke off.

You couldn't pay me enough to watch pro-kneeling!! It was a beautiful day to be out, got exercise. Got 95% of the tree, need to sharpen the chainsaw, and go one more time.

That is a great picture right there!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Hauled 1/2 ton gravel for the driveway. I sort of cringed when it hit the floor and watched the suspension sag, but can hardly tell there is a load! Except driving up the long steep hill.

Looks happy to me.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

My dad bought a twin to that truck at Claude Withers Chevrolet, brand new, in 1968. It was a 6 cylinder, TOT, with smog pump.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Got wood??

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Well that didn’t go the way I had planned...

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Flip for you

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Only take pics with phone sideways. Pics taken vertically will turn 90 when added

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Thanks for the flip and the info!!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I have cut a lot of trees and firewood over the last 45+ years, but at the risk of asking a dumb question, what is Shaggybark? A nickname or the real name for a type of tree?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I don't know the answer either. Might be a cedar or juniper being in AZ. Back east we have shag bark hickory. I learn of more tree species around this country all the time, as well as right here where I live. It's pretty incredible, all that nature has created

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

No worries! Arizona has at least 3 varieties of wild Juniper, Alligator has a bark that is like a checkerboard, not as messy as .... Shaggybark is a generic term for the bark that is a huge mess, so we have two species, the one I cut is Utah Juniper. I only know that because this summer I visited Navajo National Monument, and a sign by the tree described it. There is also a Juniper that is planted for landscaping, it's wood is more like Pine. In fact, I lined the driveway with the big branches, since they were live and need to cure, looked like a good spot.

I hauled another half ton of gravel.

Soon , I’ll be posting a pic of my 68 k1500 hauling my 69 mustang on a trailer and my 67 Triumph motor cycle in the truck bed. It’s been a dream of mine to do this , it’s just been waiting on the truck . Which will be done soon.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Brought home some flooring. This was the second load. 70 boxes in all. The guy said he didn't want to over load the truck. I thought it could handle it.

Towing a mini digger to move some soil at home.
