Reminds me of a story my Dad told me after I had bought my first 2-Ton.
He was in Army boot camp when Germany fell and the Pacific war was still going on.
He was sent to Germany as motor pool replacement troupes.
When he got out in late 1946, his older brother had a logging and saw mill operation.
He worked with him for several years and his brother bought a new 1948 1-1/2 or 2-ton flat bed.
This was in southern Mo. In the ,Ozarks, very rural and not much population.
He was driving it out of the woods across an open area with a steep sideways downhill slant.
The oak logs were piled higher than the cab.
Well, it did a slow roll upside down with the logs holding the truck up.
He decided not to walk the many miles to get help and took the double bit ax that they kept in the truck and cut the log chains.
He said when he cut the last chain, the truck rolled off the logs and landed on its wheels.
And get this, no damage to the cab other than a bent mirror.
Checked the fluids and drove it on out and home.
He is gone now and I have no reason not to believe his story.
How do you make something like that up.
Thanks Phil for the link and bringing back memories.
