Truck DVD from bigblock73

I want to thank Jeff again for all the hard work on the researching and finding the laser discs. I got mine on Monday and watched it. It's cool to see the 73-80 to 81 differences pointed out direct from GM. Plus some of the scenes were just too funny. Being from 80/81 it was great to flashback and see these trucks brand new. It mentions alot about the new "305 and automatic overdrive" tranny. It was well worth all the work he did for us to find and convert it over to DVD. If you have been wondering how this was going to turn out it's defintely worth it.

Thanks for posting this Brandon. I was curious as to what everyone thought of it, and I am pleased to know you liked it.

I know Jeremy got his as well and was very happy...has anyone else received theirs yet?

If you really like these trucks and are interested in them you will
like the video. It is basically a video talking about the changes
made in 1981. If you have ever seen a video about current models
played in a dealership talking about the features, that is what this
is like. I liked the video, but wish it had more action (vehicle testing,
etc.). The suspension stuff was pretty cool.
What are the chances of getting more years?
