Hiya Kiwi, great memory photo there.  Brings back memories I had of California trucks in the 1970s, they preferred straight trucks and towed full trailers then as well.

35 years ago, around here, everyone used "cattle trucks". Now everyone uses trailers.

It so much easier to get them to step on step into a trailer than it was trying to get them up a ramp into a truck.

Dad fed fat cattle for 30 years or so. All hauled in stock trucks. They all had pull out chutes under the center of the bed. I think they were Omaha Standard boxes. They dropped the sides down in the fall and hauled grain. Several cab over GMC's, Fords and quite a few Chevy's. The cab over GMC's had 18' boxes and could squeeze in 1 or 2 extra fat steers/heifers. Most others had 16' boxes. Great pictures thank you for sharing
