1955 Missouri River Bridge Construction - Ford trucks working

I have only watched the first two minutes of this video, but figured you guys would like to see this. This video shows the construction of the current MO River Bridge at Jefferson City. A second was built in the 1980's
From what I have seen so far Ford Big Jobs did the hauling of dirt.

That video is simply awesome!! All kinds of trucks and equipment in it. They got it done back then.....period. That video is a safety inspector's nightmare, LOL. I enjoyed watching them set those shots off right literally beside those houses, LOL. You need to post this video to the "Working Trucks Only" thread.

Youtube is just simply amazing nowadays. Videos like that are part of our history.
