[QUOTE="bbirder, post: 858637, member: 14490"] I remember hauling cattle with my grandpa. He worked for the local sale barn. There were no trailers in those days, he had a large Dodge truck (maybe a 2 ton) with wooden fencing built around the flat bed. I recall the air conditioning unit was a crank in the middle of the dashtop that opened the windshield from the bottom to let the air in. Because his arm wasn't long enough to be seen around the pen from behind, he had this gadget that mounted on the outside of the door that gave the signals out past the mirror. He had a arm mounted inside that would control it for turning. It pointed up for right, straight out for left and down for slowing. It had yellow reflectors on it , I believe. All the farmers back then had chutes that went up to the bed of the truck instead of ground level. We've come a long way since then. Good memories! [/QUOTE]
