    They talked about the early CF "Truck & Trailer" combos. What happened was Oregon had rediculus length laws so what CF did was figured if they got rid of the hood and went to cab overs they gained 4 more feet of cargo space and that gave them the 22foot truck 6 wheel truck as they called it back in those days.

    Ahhh, that makes sense. At first, when I saw one without a trailer I didn't get why all the axles under a 22' box.

    I guess the agricultural loads they hauled wool and stuff were actually very heavy your talking like 300lbs a sack. I'm look at that load of wool they have it on the roof and everything.

    I bought it off of Amazon.com just typed in Never Stand Still under books and they had a few copies it's a thick book 400-500 pages kind of expensive, but not awful $16-$20 dollars.

    I'm just glad they're are readers here... I'm in the middle of 'Andersonville: A History of the Southern Prisons During the Civil War' myself... but, yeah, it's reassuring to know some of you cats read.
