I wouldn't be worried about the roof capacity. What I want to know is how the heck was it strapped down? I can't see any "beefy" straps and with that long of a load, it must have been a real nail-biter driving it, not to mention the danger he put everyone in that was on the road with him.

Every week, the night before garbage pickup, I see people trolling our subdivision, looking for scrap. Some in pickups, vans or with trailers but also people loading bbq's, old swing sets, etc into the trunks of their cars. I just shake my head.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
