It's a Cornbinder Loadstar 1600

& as I've heard here that ramp was

a thrill act indeed although not

for public amusement

I drove this shit truck to the dump in Venice almost daily. The ramp of death always got risker the juicier the turds were..

@ gary From winter quarters to Venice, not from Davenport?
That would be a long way just to dump some poop.

No Larry, Winter Quarters...I never drove that truck at CW, I had the ride elephants and that elevated me to Head Ride Goof and relieved me of dump truck duty!!

I remember it well - although in the summer of 1974, it wasn't so "fancy!" The first time I stepped up the ramp, my wheel barrow was only half full...But i made it and got a cheer from those who were waiting with baited breath for me to fail!!
