Robert,

Ford Ranger was in for service today so I borrowed a 4x4 5.4l F150. I
don't
know what the truck is rated for,

*THAT* is easy to answer. a '150' is rated for 3/4 ton -- 1500 lbs. An
F250
gets you another thousand pounds of capacity.

See, that's what I thought. I asked for an F250. I don't like it when guys
tell me my business at work, so I didn't want to tell them theirs. Guess I
should have.

lessee. 500 bd ft is 41 2/3 cu ft. 650 bd ft is 54 1/6 cu ft
At an arbitrary specific gravity of .75 , it's going weigh 46.8 lbs/cu ft.
500 bd ft comes in at 1950 lbs, 650 bd ft at 2535 lbs.

Yeah, that would have been an uncomfortable ride on a 1500 lb-rated
suspension.

Ayup.

All in all, I think it was worth the effort for 650 BF of 8/4 White Ash
at
$0.57 CDN (about $0.46 US) a BF.

That's the kind of pricing where people are prone to ask "did you use a
gun?"

Nope, and there was lots of it, maybe 4000-5000 BF, but I only have so much
storage.

David.
