    It was too much of a hastle for the agency I cut on to handel the small amount of fees. Now they v just give them for free. Thats how it should be anyway. Your cleaning up woods and loading areas anyway.

    I could not agree more. I must have cut down 25 beetle kill pine last year and hauled it out of the mountains. Those trees are just standing kindling for the next forest fire.

    I know the interworkings of a federal agency. I promise you it costs them about $50 to process a $5 payment or check. It is cheaper to just fill out the paperwork for free.

    Thanks, it's all Elm, some dry, some green. About 90% of the wood I cut is Elm :)

    Call me crazy, because I am, but the older trucks never seem to sag in the backend like newer trucks. My dad had a 70 dodge with the 6cycl, and he overloaded that truck to the hilt with loads of bricks and such. Never do I ever remember that truck sagging. His 07 Toyota and I've seen plenty of 150's and 1500's that all sag significantly under load. Seems like the truck manufactures want you to believe their trucks can haul more and tow more. That just doesn't appear to be the case. I'd personally love old truck to hual wood. Not a classic like a 60's and back. Those trucks I'd want to restore to show quality. No, a 70's up until the Ford body change in the early 90's. That would do just fine in my book.

    To many soccer mom's complained they rode to ruff, so that had to start building them with softer springs, :) Sounds good, anyways :)

    I have a 1980 K10 and I promise you it sags under load as much or more as a 2010 chevy 1500.

    And it can't tow anywhere near as much or well as a truck 20-30 years newer.

    I can attest to even old trucks sagging.
    my 74 will shine down the moon with a jag of wet oak(or do wheelies with 12 railroad ties:hair: backwards down a hill):doh:
