Tread what? It seems back then, if you had a capable vehicle, go for it!

Geez you love youtube don't ya Rob...

At least the bloke had safety on his mind whilst sitting/standing on the bonnet. He was sitting on a tyre so he wouldn't get rust rash!!

Also got to wonder if the rifle's safety was on too.

Ahhh, 1966.. Wasn't alive then but Saints won the Footy Final!!!!!

love the if you can crash through a bush so can I. What about the 4wd on its side.

Gutsy effort given the primitive nature of communications compared to these days.

1 positive is the vehicles were obviously a lot easier to repair.
