You still see hungry boards on light load trucks like mulch carriers and landscapers trucks to cart the light bulky branches etc away.

Those Dodges would probably carry 6 ton legal in their afterlife and most blokes would probably up that to 8 tons with duals fitted. Engine would pull the load but brakes might have been a worry! They were very popular with Cockies fitted with wheat bins carrying who knows what weight once bulk handling came in during the 50's. Even in the bag days they probably stopped loading when no more could be put on and the tyres looked like bursting.
