I know of some older blokes that drove them in the 1960's, they rekon that they were the worse trucks they ever drove.
They had axles the size of broom sticks and they used to drop valves all the time, they were called "Thames Traders". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Trader

That is a very long way from the truck I drive now... got it 2 weeks ago.
FSR 850 Isuzu. Auto, LCD touch screen in the dash, navigation, bluetooth hands free and plug my iPhone in to the AUX jack and have my iPod going... Not to say I haven't had horrible trucks as I have, all rigids. But it really goes to show how far technology has come.
