When I was little, my Grandparents would take all of us grandkids up to their homes on the canadian border - about 700 miles.
They had the basic aluminum topper back then (late 60s) and built a platform that was at bedrail height so we could lay on it and look forward through the back window.
There would be 5 of us back there, no restraint, no nothing. if grandpa had a wreck we would have been like missiles shooting through the windshield.
