A website devoted to Ford Rangers has The History of the American 4x4 on it. Some neat photographs are there, and an interesting history.
I've covered that here in a couple of posts, including:
And also:Truck Train, May 1920.
We have, in this continuing series on transportation, looked at trains, planes, ships, and shoe leather. We're going to start looking at the type of transportation now that's just part of the regular background of our lives, for most of us. Automobiles.In doing this, I've broken the topic up into two, and perhaps oddly, I've started with trucks and lorries. That probably seems backwards, but for what we're doing it really isn't. Transportation by truck has been a major change in the basic distribution system for the nation.
When I seemingly had more free time, I used to occasionally publish articles in various journals. This posts has its origins in one such article, which came about, as a concept. right about the time that I became to busy to really keep at that endeavor, so I never wrote it. Perhaps, if worthwhile, I'll develop this blog entry into an article later. I'd also note that this is a topic which I've actually posted on here before. And its a topic I consider every year during hunting season. The topic of back country travel, and indeed travel in rural areas in general.
