Charles, I didn't mean your F350 was overloaded....Just a heavy load for a Heavy Work Truck....That's what that truck was made for. Lookin good to me. Yeehawww

I have multiple trucks for multiple uses F350 dually 7.3, little 4 cyl ranger and my newest, the 65 that kept me busy and sane in 2020....or maybe it's just an unhealthy Ford truck addiction..

We know you meant the guy with the SWB 1/2 ton was WAY overloaded, not the truck that was made to be worked. It’s ok 😂😂😂

Nice to to see the old 800 series with truck! and, I thought i was the only one that restored Ford tractors and trucks. That farm is keeping you younger than you think.

Couldn't agree more. Mine also does the occasional double-duty a "work truck!"

I've overloaded trucks a time or two over the years too Jamey...Sometimes we gotta do, what we gotta do. Got your lumber home and I assume the truck is still happily taking care of business. Nice clean truck for a "new" one, you found a good'un

And you're right about the dogs too!!
If you look in the driver's side corner of the back window, you can see my chocolate lab Bailey "supervising" the operations...LOL!

This photo is picture frame worthy - from a former "farm kid" - love it! Kudos!!

Haha thanks Fords Only, I thought the same thing about your sweet stepside.

5starmmd...yup these 800 series are real workhorses. Starts up on first crank every spring after sitting in barn all winter. Hungry to get back to work. Been getting the hay in with it for the past 21 years. Life is Good

Mine was doing sissy work, and getting paid for it, last week being a prop for a Chubbies Shorts photo shoot. But, the week before it was hauling top soil for reseeding the lawn.

For a minute I thought I was looking at an older picture of Jimmy Buffet. Nice truck. I think my '66 looked like it when it was new.
