"The good old days" towing photos

Lots of fun looking through the Denver public Library collection. What is really great is the way you can zoom in on tiny details in the photos.

Links instead of photos so you can zoom in.

Not towing. but heading to a Berkshire county 4-H fair- all loaded up - early '60s. Always enjoyed the trip up and back.

Don't have a photo of it, but my father towed our rock crusher (which probably weighs 30K pounds) with his 2010 F-150 King Ranch. Only towed it a half mile though.

I always liked the Hoover Dam build footage of guys backing up those dump trucks, steering with their feet.

Sadly I haven't seen that footage since the History Channel became Swamp Alien Ax Pawn Channel.
