The best diesel truck: the BEST diesel truck is : drumroll please... a Ford 1 ton body with a Cummins motor and an Allison auto out of a GMC. Maybe a Fuller 10 speed road ranger if you can fit it. Make sure you put the seat from the GMC in there too! The big three all have good years/bad...

Consider propane/ natural gas If you already have propane delivery or nat. gas, these tankless units are ideal. I've been installing Rheem brand LPG tankless WH's for my clients. They are made in Japan by Paloma, which was a pioneer company in the field. They are easy to size for whole house...

In the old days I am wi####l of the days when we could express ourselves properly. Ha-ha!(wist ful)

I went and took pics Here it is in all its glory. Turns out the seller will take whatever he can got, landowner wants it gone. I'm thinking I'll take the saw box if you want the 8x8 chip box, make offer. P.M. me if interested. I'm putting it up on marketplace as a favor to the landowner, who is...

Now now, it's only 16 years old.

Yeah, I know I just got back from the gravel quarry. Loaded 10,300#! Hauled it 12 miles up a steep mountain road and dumped it under a giant maple branch where the 10 wheeler couldn't go. My neighbor stopped by in his Tacoma and I showed him the dumper. First thing he said was "What does it...

Here's some photos of the sides I had to customize these because the previous owner cut the troop carrier down from 12' to 10'. This truck is a serious gas pig! What I don't understand about the CARB laws is, how is getting 4 miles per gallon in a gas...

Davey box Turns out the Davey box is 8'x8' with 2' saw box for a total length of 10'. I told the guy he was trippin' about 3K and half that would be more like it, he said fine. Maybe you could ditch the saw box and use the 8'x8' chip box by itself. Here are some pics of my recent sidewall...

Welcome I don't know about the wood, but I know what that orange and white thing on top is. If you split a round and it is light yellow with green streaking or even a hint of purple streaking, then it's definitely poplar.

Leave it up Folks on the homeowner forum will be quick to hire a pro after seeing this!

Yeah, plus it's far away, but it seems like buying a used one would be cheaper than a fab shop. I'll burst his bubble and tell him he can't get 3k for it.

Just a better idea I just talked to the guy who sold me my truck (see avatar) and asked him about the Davey chip/saw box he took off. He is using it as a firewood shed! he said he wanted $3,000 for it. It's down the road from me in C.A., maybe we could U-ship it to you. There's no way you could...

Hey now, did you know that fast food was invented and perfected is C.A., and is now a worldwide phenomenon? See we do good stuff. How about production framing? all those tract houses? Concept was born right here, baby! Don't forget the film industry, all those stupid movies wouldn't exist...

Just an idea Some of those flip down sides have stake pockets. You could have them build the sides top and front out of rectangular tube and sheet with the tubes extending down past the bottom of the wall in the right locations to slip into the stake pockets, making sure there is good...

How do you calculate rear axle payload?

Hey now, You know fast food was invented and developed in C.A., and is now a worldwide phenomenon? See we do good stuff! How about production framing? all those tract houses? The concept came from right here baby. Oh yeah, let's not forget the film industry, Hollywood made it what it is...

I don't hold any degrees but I used to work for a flooring company doing hardwood staircases. One time we made a conference table out of black walnut. We thickness sanded the planks, jointed the edges and glued 'em up as good as possible. It was a large table so no matter how we shuffled the...

My list of requirements for this truck were; 4x4, manual trans, diesel, dually, dump, affordable. I am a fan of the 7.3 and I almost didn't look at this one when I realized that 7.5 liter wasn't a typo. When I saw the front axle and the army troop carrier dump bed I realized I wouldn't find a...

Congratulations Woodsman44 ours is a very small club First off, you did fairly well considering replacement cost. These rigs are very solid and very rare. The seller of my truck said someone called the next day saying he'd pay asking ($4500) for the front axle and t-case and he could keep the...
