Most of you youngsters would have a stroke if you knew what farm trucks hauled/pulled in the 50's/60's. Granny low got them rolling and they did the job.

are you talking bout them old thicker C-channel frames. My grandfather had an old manual F100 Carb. v8.... nothing stopped it, towed EVERYTHING. Axles looked a little skinny but they were stout.

thems were tuffer back then... no computers.... all points.... fuel pump mounted on engine, cam driven.🙂👍

you should see this invention I got that heats up food in 30 sec, lol.

Trucks weren’t rolling down the road at 70 mph pulling a 30ft 11k pound trailer in the 50/60’s so more likely to have a stroke these days then what I would’ve saw 60 years ago
