Dad tells me when I was a teen, he was working out of town and we had some concrete work to do in the back yard, "Go see Gene at Owl Rock, tell him you want 1/2 yard of concrete sand and a 1/2 yard of 3/4 rock. Take my truck." Nice '72 F100 short bed with a 390 :D. The road between home and the rock plant was part of US 66 and around Barstow, they just pretty much pushed the creosote bushes out of the way and paved. None of it was flat. Little to my knowledge 1 cu yard of rock and sand weighs in at 1 1/2 tons. Every whoop dee doo between the plant and home I could feel the front tires lift :steering::lol:
