shrink wrap Julie ???
back then you'd have to wrap it up in wax paper or "tin" foil...
if you go back, take some extra shrink wrap and do me a 40 coupe !!!
there was a whole series of these pics my buddy Bill Hamner sent me... most were 4 or 5 car carriers... nowadays its 7-10. they can really cram them on their trailers !

Can you imagine how slow those tractor trailer rigs must have been. The trucks were so under powered for the loads that they hauled!
I have friend whose father had a dozer business in the '50s. They did dozer work in the area oilfields. They hauled the dozer on a lowboy pulled by a '51 F7. My friend told me that they had to unload the dozer at the bottom of big hills, then drive the truck to the top and bring the dozer up and reload it. All the roads were gravel so the dozer didn't tear up the road surface.
Just think of the slow pace the traffic had to run on cross country major highways! Do you think people were more patient back then?

Way cool pic . I would give my left n^* to have one of those stock trucks . My Grandfather & Dad had a land clearing business in N.Wi. back in the day . They an old White tractor that pulled the lowboy loaded with a Cat TD 18 . It would grunt leaving town up the hill . The good old days .

Several weeks ago, we had a thread going with several old truck pictures, just like that one. I think that may even have been one of them. I can't seem to find it now, doing a search for it. There were several photos I added, as well. If someone can find it to share here, that would be very cool.

It's a silly dream because if you could go back in time to put the thing up on blocks and then go get it when you came back to present, why not just bring it back with you in the first place?
Silly me.....Scotty beam me up!
