Truck Project

One of the many distractions that delayed the commissioning of the Woodlands Sawmill was the inspiration to reclaim youngest daughter’s old high school pick-up truck. The 1995 Dodge had lain around dormant and in the way for several years.

But a sawmill needs a stake truck. Hi Ho! What an idea! Fortunately left over Black Locust lumber remained from the barn floor project and that along with innumerable mechanical repairs and body mends finally led to the fine vehicle shown. This was a fun project and except for being ‘toe-warmer poor’ from all the long winter hours in the unheated barn working on it, it was worth it. See you on the road.
