The narrator behind the Camera is the shizzle!! I could just watch this over & over just to hear him say "Da CrackerBox"!! and then when he says it in front of his buddy he is like What??&*^%$? This a Funny Classic with a Great Sounding Classic truck!!
Nice old truck. My dad had a 65 crackerbox with a 238, 5 + 2 , tag axle. It had twin stacks with mufflers that were straight thru. You could hear that truck a couple miles away.
Growing up in Southern California, we lived about 200 yards from an Alpha Beta market, and the chain used Crackerboxes to haul stock. It wasn't uncommon to be woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of one of these "Screamin' Jimmies". Great clip that brings back some memories.
Since this vidio was made, We have painted the truck, removed the wet kit, fixed air and oil leaks and upholstery work. Truck will be at a truck show in Marion, TX on April 19th. Everyone is welcome!
Beautiful jimmy.
