And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Chain Drive. My Grandfather drove a fuel oil delivery truck based on one of these back in the day in Detroit and always talked about how good it was in snow.
Ralph's Truck Sales, Portsmouth NH had one of those with a crane on the back they used in their salvage yard. It was still working up until the mid 80s. Wandering around in that yard was like going back in a trucking time machine. It's gone now, replaced with a 5 story bank/insurance office building. Progress? I think not.
Bulldog Mack. I had the Beer Wagon model based on that when I was a kid.
