Think he’ll make it??

That was every Saturday in September when I was a kid, 77’ Chevy 3/4 ton with the camper option pack and side rails that when a foot taller than the cab. Wonder why I have back problems these days.

I first learned to drive on a Farmall tractor, then moved up to a 1963 GMC pickup with a three-speed on a column. We would load it with square bales in the hay field and even stack some hay on top of the cab and of course had some hanging over the sides of the bed. I still remember the first time I got to drive it home while following my Dad as he drove the tractor. I couldn't figure out why it steered so crazy until he explained how light the frontend was due to all the hay on the back. At age 12 and up I would haul hay for the neighbors and make $1 per hour and eventually got up to $2 an hour! Hard work but it put on a few muscles and helped me save money to buy motorcycles with. Good times!

Hauling hay. Tough way to make money for a teenager but it works. We hauled it at night time in Texas. Set the large flatbed truck in granny gear and let it drive itself. Occasional jump in the cab to steer it in the right direction then back to lifting.

Well, I hope he gets more than $150.00 a Pick up load.

AND...

He needs to tighten the strap on the back. It could fall off and HURT Someone.

That's the slack side of that strap. The business side is holding up the tailgate.

I'm betting he can get as far as the first low phone or fiber line..
