    Dad's '66 had a lot of flex too.

    It still does, but it did too.

    Heh, I used to have to use those. Delivered shredded paper/cardboard bundles to a small paper mill.
    Guess one time someone opened their trailer door and the bundles had shifted and fell on him/her. They got hurt.
    If you opened your doors without using one of those straps, you were banned for life from delivering to the facility.
