That was tricky, too. A combination of raising and lower the bed, as well as the ditch you backed in had to be so-so. We used a 4 X 4 on hooks in the stake pockets so we'd have more than half of the drive wheels on the bed.
My boss sent me and another young kid with it, to haul grain to elevator when we were cutting. I sure didn't want to bring his new truck home as a modified convertible. He stayed home.
When we got home, the boss split the profits with me, and I paid cash for a '55 Chev. conv. The car cost less the $900. Wish I'd kept it. Hindsight is 20-20.

I hope they don't delete, as it is relative to the history part of this thread! Thanks for that pic. the loads probably wouldn't fly with the DOT nowadays!
Got pics of the '55?
As Rockdriller said, they are GMCs, first pic is my daily driver, a '55. Second pic is a '58 or '59 I've been getting some parts from. one of those are a few trucks back in your pic. The small pickups still shared a lot with their big brothers.
Cool pic---Thanks---DAC
