In 1976 I bought a ford 1/2 ton van with a payload allowance of 2000 LBS.There are any number of people who just have to see just how far they can test the engineers calculations.
Remember when we had these plates on the dash or the firewall? They had the same type of people back then, too!
I can recall demolishing an old prospectors hut in the W.A. Goldfields. Under the floorboards was a copy of the "Kalgoorlie Miner" newspaper, dated 1936.
In the motoring ads there was one amusing ad. "For Sale. 1935 model, one-ton Chev truck. Will carry two tons".
Here, extended mirrors without a load apparently indicate that you are from a certain "social" gender group that are trolling for a new partner.Note the extended mirrors lol!
See a lot of unnecessarily extended mirrors around here; usually on an empty pickup or with a “sled“ in the back.
Remember freshman year of high school? Dwarf walked around arms far to his sides. He wanted to look big & scary. Dodge is marketing to that dwarf.Note the extended mirrors lol!

It's not legal here but they don't enforce it anymore. When I built my CJ3B during 85 to 87And I always like those truck with tires so wide they hang four or five inched past the fenders.
"Oh Rapid Roy, that stock car boy,It's not legal here but they don't enforce it anymore. When I built my CJ3B during 85 to 87
I built the frame and bought a new body. I cut down/narrowed a Chrysler 8 3/4 rear end &
used 5 on 5.5 early 60's Imperial axles with a custom 5.38 ring & pinion, I out boarded the
rear springs which with the 10.50 x 15's set the tires outside by 4", so to keep johnny law
away I had some stainless flairs made & installed. That was a fun Jeep to drive with the
300 plus horse 289 and top loader 4 speed it was real quick stop light to stop light. It also
had a Warn overdrive with a Timkem bearing'd military case. Narrowed 44 in front with
rack & pinion. I hated the flairs but had to keep within the law.

Oh Rapid Roy, that stock car boy,
He too much too believe..."
As of late I've been seeing some that touch at the ground, clearly a No-No.The dually pickups aren't immune from looking ridiculous anymore, either. Big blacked out spoke dual wheels sticking out 4, maybe 6 inches past the fenders and tires so close to each other they could pick up a 1-1/4" rock. Well, 2" anyway.
Couldn't even afford matching trailer lights, pathetichere is a gem with his stacks and dumbo ears out. If you break down brother, I'll finish your tow with my beetle. I got ya covered there Brocephus.
