Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I would have to agree. A case of load enhancement.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Does anyone remember the S10/S15 ad from the early '90s that featured an S10 driver confidently hooking his truck to a broken Semi with a tow strap? I cn't find the ad now. It stuck with me because I worked at a dealer then and we were doing things like replacing S10 axles and transmissions destroyed by towing campers. At least GM was kind enough to add a disclaimer to the S10 commercial.

A bunch of fine old GMC commercial trucks in this 1959 TV series called "Cannonball."

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Not "vintage" but "doing" what they did in style.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Sugar beet farmers are another group known to load trucks heavy. For years they'd get a stock truck and add a tag or tandem axle and an auxilliary transmission and call it a beet hauler. Those trucks work damn hard for a few weeks a year.

No just a day trip on Friday. Needed to pick up two (2) golden age Kentucky rifles from a seller. Truck owner said it was used right there in Turner.

Look at all of that shiny metal, with no rustproofing at all.
