'Cause you can carry people AND stuff or even tow (try that with a today kind of car!) Used to be for construction and road crews, My dad bought an F-350 crew cab in 1972 ($4,800) or about 90% of what a teamster would make in a year at that time. Remember when he was truck shopping Dodge claimed they were the only one building them in-house, he looked at Dodge, Ford, Chevy and IHC, IHC was a tad more expensive and only came with a 6' box (but had a 5 speed transmission).

He bought the Ford, it was made in Canada at a Ford Plant. Also remember you used to be able to haul kids in the back of a truck, don't know if I'd try that now. I'm running a 01 F-150 super cab with an 8' box, bought it new and I wanted a truck with an 8' box and a back seat to haul the kids, would of bought a crew cab but it wasn't available on a 1/2 ton and didn't want to pony up the money (or gas) for a 3/4 ton super duty. Yes probably 80% of the miles on my pickup where sole occupant (driver only) but 60-70% of our car use in the last 5-10 years is sole occupant and almost the same for our mini-van.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
