I can still remember fifty years ago now. Riding to town with my uncle in the 49 M68 (3/4 ton) Merc that sits in my yard now. I guess he was keeping up with traffic. Speed limits were likely 55 or 60 on the two lane blacktop at the time. I remember the screaming flathead V8 and wondering if it was going to hold together til we got to town. It did. Tractor like gearing in the rear axle. Springs and tires heavy enough to carry 90 bushels of grain. I don't think it would be a fun ride for many miles in one of those.
