Sorry, but I honestly have no idea. I was just a wee lad when those pics were taken.

In looking at them over the years, I've always wondered how they loaded it up so high in the first place. They must have had someone with a strong back throwing the bales up to the person stacking on top of the load, but even so...

They were clearly proud enough of themselves that they took the pics, but your guess is as good as mine as to how it was done.

Maybe out of a barn loft? throwed it down into the truck?

Yet another load of yard waste from Hurricane Sandy clean-up to the landfill.
This is why I prefer step-sides for this type of work. No inner wheel wells to
prevent your load sliding right out the back.

Probably had one guy in the bed, and loaded it till it got high. Then moved the truck and one guy would stand on the roof, one on the hood, and one throwing. Thats how we did it anyway.

Re: Pics of our trucks - payload

I have no pictures of my '71 GMC haulin anything, but I have hauled quite a bit with it over the several years I have owned it. One time went to Menards to buy a swingset and a bunch of lumber to build something and got lectured by the security gate guard about how people shouldn't use these nice old trucks to haul stuff. If I had any pics of my truck, it is clean, but not nice by any way shape or form. I explained to him that it is a truck, not a show car. He didn't really understand I guess and I went on my merry way!!!
