The Europeans were right into long noses. Here are some Bussing-NAG trucks. Sorry Dima, only one sleeper.

Very interesting pictures.
In the photograph of the Ford Model T loaded with bags, the tray appears to start right up against the cab. How could it turn corners?

I liked the advertisement for the one-and-a half-ton capacity semi trailer! Maybe my 1927 tandem drive Morris Commercial with one and a half ton capacity is not so small after all.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

The Model T with the bags was a rigid vehicle with a steering axle at each end, the idea didn't seem to catch on though.

So that's how they did it. I thought I must gone stupid or something. (Don't reply to that!!)

Thank you my friend. All the photos are known to me. It's hard to surprise me with photos from the Internet. I'm more interested in scans from magazines and books.
