I thought some of you guys might like to see a couple pics of the old truck with a big load of firewood in the back. I figured I might as well load the wood in the back of the truck before I put the truck on the shed for the winter, that way the truck and my firewood are both stores where they are clean and dry. Also it is only about 20 steps from my back door to the door of the shed the AA is parked in, so I don't have far to go to bring wood in the house.

Beautiful! It looks great with a load on it and you will have dry wood. I have bits and pieces of a Model A that I am slowly building into a wood hauler to go back in rough areas to bring out small loads as it is a car frame.

If your going to park it all winter with that load on it I would put a jack under the frame somewhere to take a little load off the springs.

Looks like white oak? Hard to tell from here. Good firewood.
One thing, my dad drove trucks for a short time aeons ago, and he mentioned once the fleet owner would not allow weight to be stored in the bed of a truck. Getting the weight off the springs over the winter makes sense? |

I like oak, and American elm, especially. Dutch elm wiped the elms out a long time ago but it must take a while for it to all rot away. For a dense, heavy wood Honey Locust is something else. The thorns are something else too.

In Oklahoma, the fence rows grow ALL kinds of WILD things, I've even seen what "looks" like Dill growing. ALL KINDS of WILD Critters hide out in them. With your Dog ![]() ![]() When the fence finally needs NEW Posts, they just clear it with a Dozer, push it in a PILE & BURN it! ![]() Did you know the GRAND CANYON was dug by an Armenian, named Sol Errosian? With the NEW fence, it can be controlled somewhat, with a wire type Weed Eater. Stuff grows in profusion & mowing roadsides with a "BUSH-HOG" is commonplace! Oakie Bill W.

Mornin' Luke,
In Oklahoma, Chief worked for the W.P.A. & Model AAs were used unmercifully, hauling gravel & everything else. One even had a Pile Driver mounted on it, used in Bridge construction. Often they were used to power makeshift Sawmills. You wouldn't BELIEVE the ABUSE they took. "WOODS" roads were "EVERYWHERE" & Logging Trucks were everywhere & some hauling ROCKS, for construction jobs. Our small town Dealership was built from HUGE River Rocks & still exists. Chief worked there, part time & learned a lot about some of the unusual problems they dealt with. Sorry this is SO LOOONG, I could go ON & ON, for pages & pages ![]() Bill Overandout
