I learned to drive in my grandfathers '32 BB stake body truck. It worked on a farm with no air cleaner. That is probably why it went in for an overhaul about every five years. The brakes were terrible for a skinny 15 year old. Took both feet to slow it down on that hill in the orchard. With a load of fire wood, my grandfather had to back up one hill, maybe because reverse was a lower gear than low gear; maybe to maintain gravity fuel flow to the carb.
