I still have a 58 Ford dump truck with a 292 in it.

I was hauling creek gravel up a steep hill in ours one day, and that motor twisted a rear axle in half (Dayton 2-speed rear end, 1-5/16 axles, IIRC). Unfortunately that rendered the emergency brake useless (band brake on the driveshaft). I was too heavy to dare trying to back down the hill. All I could do was sit there and stand on the brakes until the loader operator noticed I hadn’t come back and came looking for me.
