A fellow I know was a house remover in the 50s to 70s. Guess what his choice of vehicle was!
Could you imagine being allowed to carry such a heavy, potentially unstable (and dangerous) load as this, these days? The road in the photo is a back woods country piece of crap with nearly sheer drop of about 20 feet each side of the 'road'. This photo was taken back in the 60s, and the roads were shocking back then..........and still are!!
There are more interesting photos, showing his other vehicles, but I don't have ability to copy those yet.
