re: Anyone remember having to ride in a truck sitting on these as a kid?

Sit on the actual bed or wheel wells and we were good to go, even at high speeds.

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.
