lucky for them the wheelbase was long enough to fit a decent  third axle. moved many battery boxes from side by side to one on top of another to fit a ridiculous baby axle enough to meet the law requirements back then. narrow steer tires and hyd canvas (not a Richards system ).sign of the changing times .

I was born in 1945, in 1948 my mother was elected the township clerk with her office in the corner of our living room. The highway super was in and out all the time. By 1950 I was the "Mascot" for the highway dept. Always riding in their trucks and later operating them. From there on my life was always in the trucking industry.

Nice memory for sure..and an impossibility in today's day and age.

Blackdog, That looks like an interesting Yard!! I see a 57 to 60 big Ford and a crane behind the mixer..

[Mark T]

You are right!!! I see the other booms up in the trees now.. I was only looking at the one behind the Ford..

[Mark T]

Might be draglines around an operation like that.  I know I'd like to see more of whatever is there
