    Been slacking on cutting wood lately I need to get back at it but just took a road trip and picked up another truck. New one will be my daily driver and the green flatbed will be full time wood hauler around the property now. Drank some fuel up but pulled amazing! Went from MI to TN and back.

    Nice!
    Both gassers?
    That's the way to do it, pluck em out of the areas below the rust belt. at current new truck prices, all the mechanical stuff can be fixed, and if the thing is not rusting away it's actually worth fixing!

    Nice looking trucks! :thumbs:

    I find myself browsing FBM for used trucks. Kinda wished i had a second one for my work and current one for wood.

    Cant wait to see pics of one full of wood.

    Yup, both 6.0 gassers, yea it needs a few small things but driveable the way it is and other than the outer rockers, completely rust free. Not too bad of a deal
