I miss my '73 Chevy stepvan with a Union City body. It gve me 20
MPG, no matter how much I hauled in it. It had non commercial tags,
and
one trip had over 8,000 of cargo.

I bet that was a white-knuckle trip!


Only when the Georgia Highway Patrol chased me just south of Atlanta,
long enough to see I had non commercial tags. Then he slammed on the
brakes, slid into the median, and was pounding the dash with both fists.

Sort of like my S10 4x4 Pickup. Got a load of pavers for the back yard.
Said a pallet load was 1500#. Pick up the load one night from HD, drive
home, luckily the wife is with me as the truck barely steers. Front wheels
probably would not of touched if wife was not in cab. The pallet they
referred to was much smaller. We figured there were 4500# of pavers in the
truck, Setting on the axle stops.
