TRUCKS post a picture of your rig!

After the series of discussions about trucks I thought it would be fun to post pictures of our trucks.

I have my pickup with a cargo rack that goes in the hitch receiver when necessary. I most certainly would not be able to get one of those big trucks in where some of my yards are and have been. Back when I was planning to become a commercial beekeeper, that last rig was on my list.

I use a multitasking wheelbarrow for both apiaries I got.
Nice rigs...

Here's one of Bob Harvey's old trucks.

That's the best truck so far.

Bob's truck was on its 3rd transmission and 2nd engine at that point. I really disliked that one. It was my influance to build the FL-80. I have to agree with Barry, Is that an apache?

Heres one of mine.These F350s will go anywhere!

Forgot to mention, my wife's blue Toyota Carolla seen in the background of one of my pics has hauled a trailer load of bee equipment 2200 miles across the country on two occasions, and a trunk full on another occasion. My truck has yet to come close to that cumulative hauling experience.

No, it's just a C-10. Just a plain Jane half-ton, 6-cylinder, 3-speed on the column. Only one sun visor and only one arm rest. But thank you for the kind words.

I am serious when I say that I am in the market of upgrading my truck and it has been pretty informative to see the different makes/models out there....thanks for the pictorial information.

You can't see all of it, but I like the look of Loggermike's hoist. Is it homemade? For small operators it looks a lot more cost effective than buying, maintaining, and hauling a skid steer.

a very good commercial beekeeper once told me a beekkeeper never has the right truck. (always looking for a better one)

[sqkcrk]

There is no one right truck. If there is, it is in the shop.

A coworker told me about the same thing about tractors. He said, "No matter what size you get, you'll wish you had a bigger one."

[sqkcrk]

Just like a man, isn't it? Always wishing they had a bigger one or thinking they do.

[Okraeater]

Here's one of the trucks I drive for work. Note the shop-built hoist. BTW, it is registered below CDL limit because none of us have a CDL!
Not sure if I can get the picture to work...
I give up. Can't resize it.

That boom on the old F350 was made in the mid 70s by John Fruetel in Oregon. It was a good ,dependable, economical boom.Should be lots of them around still, collecting rust behind someones honey house.
