[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 724143, member: 4674"] My father raised watermelon in the fifties. We shipped a lot of melons. A lot of the truckers were from Oklahoma, and Iowa. Most were driving gas rigs with the most being Internationals, I cannot remember the series but I think some were a R180.Also nearly all of the farm tractors were gasoline. Have to remember gasoline was 11 cents a gallon. What was diesel used for at that time, you will have diesel when you process a barrel of oil for gasoline. I remember one trucker that bought the first GMC diesels, they were real screamers. When we had 11 cent gas we also had $50 a head calves. Commercial fertilizer also was just coming into its own.
