Since we're talking about big winches and old Chevies, I have an old Chevy with a big winch. Don't let the grill fool you, it's a 72 k20... winch is a 12k hydro mile marker. It runs off the power steering system and works really well. The older ones were slow, but this is a faster 2 speed winch. I used to make money with this winch/truck years ago, pulling cars out of snow banks for cash...dodging CHP officers of course.
The truck is a work in progress, hopefully I finish the body work this winter. I don't enjoy body work, so once I finish that, the rest of it should fall into place quickly.

I'm the same with my late model Dodge...I've got the 72 k20 and a 71 k2500 GMC, I really like the simplicity and style of the older trucks, but the Dodge is a much better work truck. Everything about it is just beefier, tows/hauls infinitely better, stops better, power doesn't even compare, all the while much more comfortable.
Yep have grown to love it myself. Real tuff on grease but not paint!!

That is all I use from 16" - 32" bars.
Hickory is stronger than Ash and is preferred for axe and sledgehammer handles.
However, Ash is lighter and very strong, so it was generally preferred for baseball bats (both were used). Ditto rake and shovel handles, etc.
Plus, until the Emeral Ash Bore, Ash was more abundant than Hickory.

In the spring I bought a Truper brand Pulaski said to have a hickory handle. I swung it three times and the head broke off, from the weight of it I’d say it was a softwood. The seller told me to take it up with the manufacturer. But I liked the head size and width, so I bought a hickory handle and my son installed it. Works great now, I used it over the summer to dig around stumps and cut the roots. I won’t buy any other Truper products.

Speaking of axe handles, I need to put a new handle on my old Plumb double bit I use for splitter all my firewood. It took a pretty good hit the other day and I don’t expect it to last long.
So let me get this straight. This company is using this oil in the gas mix for 2 strokes and for bar oil?I know we're all a frugal bunch here.Just saw this. 99 cents a gallon,German quality, mix AND bar oil.

Probably true among professional leagues, but various alloys make up the vast majority of baseball bats manufactured today. For that matter, same for softball too.
In the wood shop, ash is infinitely easier to work. Hickory will put your tools to the test!
I love those old trucks.
Yours .
This yours ? Nice truck
