When I was about ten my Dad had a 1947 International half ton. It had wooden stock racks on it and he would stop every night at the horse track and load it with horse manure. When he got home it was my job to take the truck to the pasture and spread the manure. He didn't know, but when you got out of sight of the house you could spin the wheels on the truck.
When I was fourteen I bought and made fourteen dollar a month payments on a two ton truck. I hauled hay and grain and all my high school dates in that truck. I finally took drivers ed in high school and got to drive about one hundred feet when the instructor said you pass.
Here's a picture of that speedy old truck.
