@TDRIVE80 it's a '91 through '94 T15 Jimmy. judging by the chrome strip around the bumper caps & side molding, i'd say a '91 or '92 ('93 & '94' had "gold" chrome)
What it smells like to you is of absolutely no concern to me. I live in Fayetteville, WV, the site of the New River Gorge Bridge and I've been here for 18 years. It was common knowledge that this was being filmed around town and I simply joined several hundred other local people and went and witnessed the filming....it you think that I'm lying then that's certainly your right.
I didn't stick around to watch them retrieve it , but I'm fairly certain that they hoisted it back up with a cable and some kind of crane like rigging perhaps. I don't think they lowered it, as it was right over the middle of the river. I'm certain they must have lifted it with a cable.
No problem my friend. Hey, if you want to see something cool then type Bridge Day New River Gorge and watch people jump(parachute) off this very same bridge one day a year legally. Or go to my channel uploads and watch my short Bridge Day film. Base jumpers come from all over the world (including England) to leap from it! N8
This was a fresh and unique advertisement. Not just an update of the same old thing. I liked it.
At least it worked like they planned. If you remember an old commercial where they push a car out of a plane, then a parachute opens and it lands safely. Then somebody jumps in and drives it away. They used two cars. With the first one, the chute failed to open. It wasn't in good shape after it landed. It worked like they planned with the second one.
This video motivated me to check out the New River Gorge Bridge for the first time, last weekend, over in West Virginia. It's quite a spectacle and worth the visit.
GM contracted someone to do this for them .They did not just hook a chain to a Ford truck and pull it back up .They had a crane lift it back up.The crane may have had a few Ford parts on it who knows.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
On that day my father was there. He lived on the hill near the bridge. Every truck on the bridge including the truck used to pull the GMC back up was a Ford.
what I said was true, say what you want everyone who lives there was out there checking it out that day. The bungee truck was the only GM product on the bridge.
wow. Can you imagine riding inside, that would be awesome.

Well considering people manage to do this all the time, and that a truck is MUCH stronger than the human body. Could'nt any truck do this?

thats obviously false. if it is a GM product commercial, they will have other GM products there for pulling it back up.
