    Got a mix of white oak and ash from the local saw mill’s stump pile.

    A truck and a free stump pile! I'm envious.

    Your truck obviously isn’t going to be a garage queen. Nice load of wood, using a truck as it’s meant to be used.

    Gas or diesel? Both the truck and the score are nice

    Thanks all. The stump pile isn't free but it's only $20 for a pickup truck load. Even though it's a short bed, I couldn't make myself hagle that. It's gas. I thought about asking for the diesel but it's a lot more expensive and I've only got a 3 mile commute to work. I do love it. Hopefully today is the first of many trips. :)

    I love the look of the new Colorado's but they sure are proud of them with what they charge!

    Nice to see you using a new truck for one of the uses it's designed for...working!

    Nice rake on that truck - stack it higher next time to level er out! :D

    Just breaking balls. Nice truck, and can't argue with a $20 bill for a good load of premium firewood.

    That's a pretty sweet setup, both the truck and the mill pile. Is it any size truck $20? I would put side boards on though, just to really stretch my 20, but that's my frugally cheap side of me, and because I would cry if I had a new truck and a piece of wood went down the side of it.

    Nice lining in the bed! That should really help out with durability, but I really like being able to slide wood on my plastic liner.

    Mine is Rhino lined and I just have plywood on it so we can load/slide pallets into the bed. It's nice being able to throw stuff into a bed and not worry about dinging anything up.

    GM puts a stupid amount of rake on their trucks now Days. The after market is making a killing on leveling kits.

    Yeah, I tend to like plastic beds myself but this came stock and I thought maybe I was being too picky. The spray on is working fine so far.

    CDF_USAF , yeah, $20 for any size. In the past we've filled up my buddy's F250. I don't think the woman charging me knew I had a short bed and I considered asking but she had an oxygen mask on and I just didn't want to be "that guy". It's still a good deal. I was beat and they needed to start driving the loaders where I was so called it a day. Hey, how much did you feel that quake the other day? I see a lot on the news saying the felt it so far away but I didn't notice it.

    I'm not in the country at the moment so I didn't get to feel it, my neighbor who was on his roof said he felt it pretty good, but a lot of people I've talked to said they didn't feel anything. The epicenter? was about 9 miles from my house in a wildlife refuge supposedly.
