GMC commercial

I liked one of the questions asked in the comments. "How did four fit into the cab"?. The answer is, and I know some on here will freak out. But the fact is. The kids rode in the camper. A very common , and practical way to go on trips.
AND WE LIVED THRU IT.

Heck , back in the day ,I had a bench seat from a Nova bolted in my truck bed, up against the rear window.. That's where my Guests would ride... No issues ...

In the 90's I hauled my kids and dogs in the back of my 79 F150 pulling a pop up camper. I wouldn't hesitate to haul anyone in the back. Just as long as it wasn't too hot or cold.

I remember my cousins riding in the cabover from Michigan to Tennessee but the truck was a Ford. I rode around town in it. Of course, we didn't usually use seat belts either at that time.

I rode many a mile at highway speeds in the back of a pickup with a topper in my younger days. But now knowing the consequences of such in the event of an accident, especially a roll over, I would not do it again or ever allow anyone else to do it in my truck.

"Back in the day" its just the way things were! No seat belts, no air bags, people rode in the back of pick-up trucks and truck campers. Kids rode in the back of station wagons, seat belts weren't even invented yet! It's just the way it was. No one ever thought a thing about it.

It is interesting to watch some of the old vintage advertisements to see how much our times have changed.... some for good, some not so good!
