Yeah it really would be a great set up, maybe some day... too many other things requiring funds right now.Leave the lift gate a couple feet off the ground, then pull logs right onto it/the bed, then when you're all loaded up raise it the rest of the way, should be able to haul 14' logs loaded to the top of the rails.
Small print; you may have to modify the lift gate or build a log arch to get the higher layers on, but it could be done.
Lots of options if you're willing to spend that kind of cash to get some assistants pulling logs to the rd/truck.
I like getting things done in the fall/spring as long as it's not too muddy. It's been a good spring for getting things done here.
And fishing . Had some help getting this one in tonight .

What’s your advice to us youngsters on life, I’m taking the view do as much as you can before you hit 60. If your still kicking do as much as you can before 70 ect ect.I cut firewood mostly just for the fun and exercise. At my age (84) it is "use it or lose it". I sell willow at $120 cord and figure I lose at least $50 for every cord I sell considering fuel, equipment, etc without even counting my time. I sell it to get rid of it, got more wood in my lot than I will ever burn.
93°F high here today. Of course I am rehabbing my back porch roof. 2 layers on top of tin. That tin gets sizzling in the hot sun! Did my errands in the height of it. About 4:30 I was in the shade again but the heat took all the piss out of me already.Well it's official !!!

I was admiring those tight rings, didn't figure it was that heavy though.Decided to weigh one of the bigger tamarack roundsView attachment 740322no wonder my back hurts, lol.
Think I’ll stick to spruce or lodge pole next time.

I had a 99, biggest issue was a broken leaf spring, guess you're not supposed to pull a 60' house trailer thru the sand with them . I really liked mine except the 14qt oil changes , but just like most things in life you can pay up front or in the end. 183k isn't much for a 7.3, actually it isn't much in general for an older truck. What was it previously used for, towing a camper?, when I'm ready for something different I'll be looking for a garage stored truck that pulled a camper in the summer.View attachment 740350 Found another truck that's peaked my interest. Pretty clean for a PA truck. 183k, stock 7.3 save for a gtp38r which after some research is basicly the same as stock save for a ball bearing center section. Wasn't realy looking for a diesel but you cant do much better then a clean unmolested 7.3 350.
Nice looking truck! Was once a Ford truck person only and owned a few in that body style. Only suggestions is check front end and steering box, if he will let you raise it up. My 04 F-350 6.0 diesel ruined my Ford run, after 12+ trips to dealer for engine problems.View attachment 740350 Found another truck that's peaked my interest.
