I made it to 62, never thought I would or I would have taken better care of myself.(no) I am collecting survivors benefits from my wife. Not much because I still work part time but enough to pay for the new tractor. Will switch to mine if I reach 65 and will not matter how much I work. Thanks every one for the happy birthday wishes.

Happy Bdet Al-k !!!
Holy cow, mine has a 36 gallon tank. I let it get down to where the low fuel indicator said I had 3 miles to empty. It still only took 32 gallons, meaning I had 4 gallons in reserve. I don't think I can afford to run hightest, ill try mid grade first. Here's a pic.

I've never met a woman over 6'4", so why pay for more than I need?You guys and your short beds.
You can't trust what your truck computer is telling you about mileage. I figure my mileage every tank full by dividing the miles driven by the gallons used and invariably come up with 10% less than what it says I got. Check yours that way and I bet you will get the same results.
Happy late birthday Al-k.
Happy Easter everyone!

I always do the math. I got in a big argument with my diesel VW. The computer said I was getting 55 mpg. My math had it at 38. Argued with the dealer every time I took it in for oil change. I won in the end. I paid $23,000 for it new. Drove it for 4 years and 84,000 miles, and they bought it back for $21,300. I guess I was right about the diesel being screwed up.
Anyways, this truck has been dead on with the computer and my math.
Mine too. I hand calculated enough times to trust it. Also have a 36 gallon tank. Here in the People's Republic of Ontario, hehe, it costs your firstborn to fill it up!
The 6.5' bed will hold 1.5 facecord or half a full cord. That's stacked and mounded but safely where you don't lose any.

You guys and your short beds.
They almost don't make them anymore. You won't find one a used car lot or if you do it will be attached to a 4 door cab.
It is possible to order what I call a Work Truck. Single seat, 8' bed. I refuse to drive what I call a '***** truck' all dolled up, short bed, jacked up 10', etc.
Guy came to get a load of wood in his new truck. Just as I describe above. The bed hit me just below chest level "I bought it to haul wood". I almost fell over laughing.
I have an eight foot dump trailer so my bed will seldom see wood. But, I probably have half a cord of tools in it.
With the pulpy pith I’d say something like Catalpa or Alanthis, plus the big growth rings, they both grow fast.
I'm guessing that striped wood is from a sumac. They are soft, fast growing and brittle. Too light weight to be good firewood.
Ya beat me to it cat. Sumac was my first thought too.
Get a good hardtop cover for that bed Joe and you won't have to worry about people wirh sticky fingers. They are not cheap but worth every penny.
I have a trifold hard tonneau that keeps honest folks honest. A determined thief could get in but it gives a measure of security.

I put an EX-tang on mine. I liked the girl in the bikini sitting on a 4 wheeler on top of the cover in the ad they had at the shop
Where I bought mine .
I change my vote to Sumac.
