I worked in warehouse that looked a lot like that - only much dirtier. Saw some crazy things. Like the time someone drove a low loader into the back of what he thought was an artic trailer but was just a 7.5 tonner. He should have know by the length, but he wasn't paying attention.

Result was the weight caused the suspension of the 7.5 to collapse, leaving the low loader stranded in the back of the truck about 3 feet below the level of the dock. The recovery of it was a major issue. I didn't see how they managed it but I'd guess something similar to what's occurring in that photo.

'Chico And The Man'? I have very vague recollections of it.

Yes indeed, Freddy Prinze and Jack Albertson

Interesting trick attempts visuals come to my mind`s eye, with the rather heavy high back car seat !
Have any videos that you could link of it in action ?!

Well, it beats hell out of that banana thing. He probably upgraded from the tractor seat, itself an upgrade.

True story; being in the paving industry I would regularly come home smelling of diesel fuel. Late in the year one time (cold) my wife asked if I'd changed colognes. My reply was no it's just the cutback in the diesel.
I have no idea if they still use it (probably not) but back then it was used to keep the diesel from gelling in the very cold weather.

To the old type of diesel, we add 6-7% gasoline during the winter, or a little concentrated alcohol to prevent thickening.
