  • 5:21 "By prearrangement continue together in a single truck" In other words one of the trucks broke down lol

  • Given clearance, torque, 2 live axles, and weight in the back of this pickup, I'd expect any vehicle with the same setup to get over these challenges as they were really not bad at all. I saw no time where any of the wheels were off the ground,

    Pretty simple stuff 2 me!

  • That is a cool looking truck. Too bad Chevy trucks are so Blase' today. Dodge has the best looking truck now a days.

  • @TheSpeakers20 That area is probably covered with Towhnhouses, Condos and a Mall anyway by now.

  • @matrox you see the problem is is that no one will no the legitamacy of it because of cgi and greenscreening

  • too bad government motors are not this good anymore.

  • cool vid, i like this

  • I love these trucks!

  • those trucks llook amazing

  • @Yenjoi69

    I agree...it is just ridiculous that not only have we shipped out all of our production and knowledge, we accept the sub-par quality that a lot of these "imports" have. New trucks have many advantages over the trucks of the past....but most of that is only because they are "fresh".  Bring a new truck back to 1957, I don't think they would be so much better.
