    WOW
    Truck looks to be handling the weight just fine.
    Must be good "Dry wood "
    You could use even higher sideboards

    "Don't mind the mule, load the wagon " :yes:

    As you can see in the second picture I placed some O.S.B. on the sides so I could stack right to the height of the cab all the way through. I could have went one side board higher on my stake rack sides but I thought they would look good with just the two boards. And really, most of the time the truck will be empty. I'm happy with them. I do have to move the entire rack of boards slightly toward the cab though. I realized now that I did not need to leave them as far off the window as I did. They need to be moved back about an inch or inch and a half.

    The wood is almost all Ash, a little Maple. All split and stacked on pallets outside in the late spring.

    I wasn't. Just started this year. Trying to off set some of the cost of the taxes and other expenses associated with camp/land purchase.

    Looks nice! I would have defaulted to gloss black. Also my hubby has a similar truck, the back doors open like suicide doors and he loves it.
