I had a similar truck for my first firewood rig. Mine was a 65 F100 with a 240 six and three-speed on the column. Used it for many years, but even with chains on the back, I couldn't get into half the places I needed to. I dumped it for a 69 Dodge 4WD Power Wagon, which I still have. A true piece of junk that I keep patching up. Took it off the road a few years back and not it stays in the fields and woods. The truck is in the photo - with the red Ford box in back, and 71 GMC cab in front(69 Dodge Power Wagon). I've replaced the complete rear frame-half twice. Torched it off just at the cab-rear and welded in another. A State trooper crashed into me back around 1979 and tore the original Dodge cab right off the truck (with me in it). The new trooper car was totalled. I later found a 71 GMC truck for $50. I sold the running gear out of it for $100, put the GMC cab on the Dodge. It was NOT easy. Steering hook-up from old Dodge to GMC is opposite. When I first hooked it up, if I turned the steering wheel to the right, the truck wheels went to the left. I tried driving it for a week like that and gave up. I could not get used to it. So, I took two gear-pumps from John Deere tractors bolted them together to make a reversing box. Worked fine and I'm still using it. So, it's 69 Dodge W200 with a Ford box, 71 GMC cab, 318 Dodge engine, 4.88 axles, and Studebaker springs in back.
I later picked up this old John Deere skiddrer. Little kid likes it (he just turned 30). .
My newer "little kid" getting wood with me with my 94 Ford F250 diesel . .
And my handiest firewood truck near my house. I mainly use it to get firewood from my pile, to my house where the furnace is. 85 Isuzu 4WD PUP diesel.
