I've been running short on time so I bought a cord of wood today. Forgot to get a picture while it was in my truck it looks pretty good, a mix of locust, cherry, and red oak. $120 for a cord of split wood, I was happy with that.

Yeaaaa, I would like to have seen a FULL cord in the back of a std. pu... It would have had to been piled pretty high to make an honest cord...

I have an 8' bed so it wasn't bad but it was piled fairly high. It definitely was a cord, the guy had the wood separated into 1 cord stacks, three rows deep, 8' long, and 4' high.

Remember a cord here in pa is 4Wx 4H x 8L and it will fit in a full size truck but you have to stack every single piece one at a time and it is tight.

In NH a cord is between 250 to 350 depending on type of wood and whether it's green or seasoned. Great price!

A cord IS 4'x4'x8' and a pu box may be 8' long, but it's got wheel wells in it ect...
A while back some guy on another forum (I forget what one) was saying he had a cord of wood in his pu.. (he had a pict.) Before long, he was called on it, so another guy took a measured cord and put it in his pu, it was higher than the cab and it weighed so much the back of 1/2 ton HD truck was nearly on the ground... lol
A cord of hardwood works out to over 5,000 pounds...

I want to edit in, he had the tail gate down too...

i'll give you that green but not seasoned. normally i fit 2/3 of a cord in a full size pickup bed.
the dump truck can only haul 2 cords of green wood, 2.5-3 if it's seasoned

I put a similar base on my wood shed. I made a sill from 6X6 PT. Leveled it up on flat rocks then filled it with 3/4" stone. I was a little worried about the northern Vermont frost but it has been there 10 years and hasn't moved at all.
