Yep, back when it wasn't taboo to have kids riding in the back of pickup trucks. The only instruction we had at the time was to not sit on the top rails of the bed. Sit on the actual bed or wheel wells and we were good to go, even at highway speeds.

Yep those were the rules.....remember sliding around every time the brakes were used or when you turned a corner

This, but my grandfather also used to let all 3 of us grandkids sit on the slick metal truck tool box anywhere in the city, just never on the I-10. He'd yell "Hold on" thru the sliding back window for left & right turns.
I occasionally think about this and many other similar lucky breaks it took for me to reach 52 y/o.
