A potato won't work! There's so many holes in the exhaust manifold (Minnesota road salt) and we could see the road through the floor boards

The things are like Russian tanks! I passed my driver test in one! AC was 4 x 60 ! ; and the concept of 'living' in a vehicle was no issue for me when Freightliners came along. There were 4 families we did this with and winter ski trips (studded snow tires?!!) to MN and WS lake cabins-(Ice fishing and ski places) I recall this 4 car convoy had 2 Walkie-Talkies too. Guess who got assigned to engine-start detail on frigid nights to insure arrival at the ski lifts-actually a good little money maker as other lodge guests would simply hand over the key and a $10 dollar-bill (in the '60'$

) to insure a quick start in the AM...with screamin' kids. At home there were resistance wire plugs to the water-filled radiators

to keep'em thawed-anti freeze...never heard of till the late 70's

???!.
