If you have access to lots of scrap wood and you don't mind putting a bit of effort into log splitting or whatever it takes to keep a cheap fire going then making moonshine is probably going to be the easiest thing you can do. It won't take much to get your truck to run on it. Maybe just some new seals and a few odds and ends. If you only need a tank of gas every few weeks it will not take much effort to make that much moonshine.
Since you are not concerned with the taste you can make it out of pretty much anything usable and expired from your local grocery stores. Just do a fuel permit from the ATF and you are set. You just have to denature it with a small amount of gasoline added so it isn't drinkable and is legal that way. Use Zeolite to get the last of the water out of it and get it pure if you want.
Around here I have been really tempted to set up a still. But I am lazy and never get around to it despite having basically and unlimited supply of free wood if I just go up on the hill and start dragging it home.
