Wayne's V-10 Ram

Also my favorite 60’s Chevy. I had a 66 with a 396 that I got drunk and T boned around a telephone pole. That wasn’t a good time. Pulled the engine and trans out of that and stuck it in a 62 Ford Econoline van. As SteveU said. Just because you can don’t mean you should.

I can remember one of those Ford’s with the speedometer that took up half of the dash and watching the needle lay over completely out of sight. Why I’m still alive today is beyond me. That car went on for 300k miles before being put out to pasture. At that speed the light poles looked like a picket fence

Thank you for the ride Wayne, wish there were more people who showed how they go around about where they live.
But do not know how many have cars that run on wood.

OK Jan, here you go. This was about 5 years ago with my Geo Tracker running on charcoal. I had a camera on my cap so don’t get dizzy watching. :grin:

Thank you Don, yes I think it’s fun to see what it looks like around where you live, quite different from where I live in the middle of the forest.
I think your car went really well, maybe I should keep my Suzuki, in case the Chevrolet S10 breaks down.

Hello Norman .

I have put about 50,000 wood miles on the truck and the way I drive it around here pulling trailers and through the pastures and fields I think it takes about 2 pounds of raw wood per mile.

I think if using gasoline this truck this size and driving conditions would cost me about 50 cents per mile!!!

Keep in mind when I need to hit the road and go ( no load ) I us the dakota . It will get 1.3 miles per pound raw wood :grinning:

Hm… Wayne, how do you do it? My plan was to try to catch up with you in terms of wood miles, but instead I it seems I’m constantly falling further behind :smile: Also, I wish my camera was able to pick up the sound of the motor - like yours.
Wife says I’m star-struck. I have no idea what she’s talking about :smile:
