    IMG_1544.JPG First off why is there not a dedicated wood truck section on here? We need that here!!!! So I used to have a 87 dodge 3/4 ton that was my wood / plow truck and I loved that truck!!! Do to a couple of unfortunate events back to back I was forced to sell it. Missed and regretted selling her every day! So I went out a got wood with my little Toyota pickup but it just wasn't the same and it took a ton of trips into the hills. I also love my yota but it just wasn't the same. So now two years later one hell of a epic weekend road trip to get her I now have a new wood truck! 86 1ton dually dodge with a 360 h.o. 4speed 4x4 and a flatbed. I am so excited to go fill it up! Get back that warm and fuzzy feeling when at the end of the day the saws are poking out the top of a cord and a half of doug fir piled on the back of my burly ol'truck!

    You must've missed the 97 pages of loaded truck pics.

    Loaded truck pics.

    Unfortunately, your truck doesn't qualify to be posted in there as it is empty. So time to fill her up and get some photographs of her working hard. Empty truck pics just don't do it for us around here...;)

    BTW, she's a beauty...

    Nice truck!

    We do have a truck thread here somewhere I beleive, but not a dedicated forum.

    Edit I see you were linked to the loaded trucks thread...which I started years ago. Haha, I couldn't remember what it was but knew we were posting truck pics!

    You need to get some lettering on there, maybe a sheet or two of this:

    I actually cut outside of Potlatch Id. Some pretty nice timber up there. Only live here for about a year but where I used to live in north central Wa I had absolutely huge timber just a 10 minute drive from the house!
