The other night you mentioned your thoughts about buying a 1958 Chevy Viking. When I read your post I thought to myself that such a truck would be perfect for hauling firewood, so I looked on line to see if I could find a good deal on one. I found one in the Kansas City area, specifically in Ottawa. The truck sounds a lot like the one you were speaking of. I would feel that I have done something dishonorable if I bought it from under you, after it was your thread that made me think of it. If the truck that I am looking at is the same one you are considering, please let me know, and I will not touch it, yet, if it is not, I am really starting to like this truck. The owner sent me some extra pics showing the bed will not need any altering to haul 3 and a half cords of wood. I could take a trailer to MO after Christmas trailer it and bring it back where I will plan on replacing the 6 cylinder with a small block V8 and be hauling firewood by Feb. As I said, I would never steal it from under you, as your post is why I looked for a 2 ton Viking, but if it isn't the truck you are considering, the $1500 makes the truck something that I would seriously be able to use. Please let me know, before I fall in love with this truck. It looks just like the one I used in the mid 1980's when I worked in the woods near Cookville, and even my wife appears to be behind getting it, as it means a job for my son. I can get a different truck if this is the one you were looking at, so don't feel like I must have this. There is a local Ford F500 that I can use if you are planning to get this, so don't worry about me, but if you aren't looking at the same truck, I'm seriously thinking to get it, so please let me know if this is the truck you were looking at. While I like the blue cab, if I get it, the stake bed is getting painted black. Please respect my intention to do right and let me know if we are both looking at the same truck.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
