When my wife was a child, she and her siblings would go to visit their mother's brother and sister on the Saskatchewan farm. In winter there wasn't much for the children to do until snowmobiles were invented. Since then youth and brainless adults have been killing and injuring themselves driving their snow machines beyond safe speeds. But for the little kids, it was a big thrill to be pulled behind the snowmobile riding on the upturned hood of any old car or truck. For a while, there was a 1950s farm truck saved for that purpose, and it would have looked identical to your 2 1/2 ton truck's.
