Video from yesterday on the way to work - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Yukon Jack** · 10-14-2005, 10:34 AM

Was on the way to work yesterday morning and couldn't resist getting some video of the truck accelerating. I used the camera strap to hold the camera, so don't worry, was being safe.

Now don't go laughing at the crappy steering wheel - I've got different one that will be installed at some point. And as for having both the 4 on the floor and the 3 on the tree shifter, well, haven't gotten around to yanking the old column in favor of the tilt that I have ready.

The first clip is larger but ya get to watch the tach. Gets a bit bouncy once I get into 4th gear.

Video file about 6 megs

Audio only MP3 file, much smaller

I now know I have a problem - I have found my self control is a bit lacking as I just can't keep my right foot off the go pedal

boy it sounds good

Putter · 10-14-2005, 11:34 AM

Those mudders start singing once you get up to speed, huh???

**Canadian694x4** · 10-14-2005, 12:47 PM

Wicked Man!!! Gotta Get Me A Big Block!!!

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-14-2005, 12:59 PM

I see you fixed the motor problem, now you have to work on that right foot
Isnâ€™t the torque of that BIG BLOCK a kick in the a$$.
How about some new picâ€™s, would like to see your progress

**Yukon Jack** · 10-14-2005, 02:53 PM

me have pics?

Just what I need, an excuse to post more pictures

**Yukon Jack** · 10-14-2005, 02:54 PM

And yes, the torque is something else - pretty addictive.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-14-2005, 03:23 PM

Looking Good

67chevemall · 10-14-2005, 04:00 PM

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-14-2005, 04:20 PM

Ole Blue 68 · 10-14-2005, 04:51 PM

I love that sound!

And looking at those new pics, I like your door panels. Did you do those yourself?

**Yukon Jack** · 10-14-2005, 05:14 PM

Yep, I used the old panels as templates and made the new panels from bathroom grade backing board. I then glued foam to the panels followed by the fabric that matches the seats.

Alexis · 10-14-2005, 05:20 PM

How about a clip from in front of the motor while reving it?

Sounds good. God I miss my 3/4ton.

1968GMC · 10-14-2005, 06:54 PM

llegos · 10-14-2005, 08:10 PM

haha, look at that steering wheel, and whats with the colum shifter???lol j/k

llegos · 10-14-2005, 08:10 PM

gotta get that speedo working too....

**Yukon Jack** · 10-14-2005, 08:16 PM

The column shifter is to confuse the competition lol. As for the speedo, I keep thinking about whether to try to sell the mechanical and go with an electric - sure would make calibrating it easy if I go electric.

**BOSS** · 10-14-2005, 08:42 PM

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

dion · 10-15-2005, 01:14 AM

Cool!

What kind of gauges are those? I'm looking to replace my stock with something with numbers. I'm kinda liking Autometer Phamtom.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-16-2005, 10:43 AM

Those are the Phantom series.

BraveDave · 10-16-2005, 07:30 PM

what a crappy steering wheel.

*FormerMember* · 10-16-2005, 08:27 PM

So, where did you get the fabric that matches the seats?

I have a similiar pair sitting in my garage...

Striker169 · 10-17-2005, 12:05 AM

what seat is that?

MandarinSixSeven · 10-17-2005, 12:49 AM

Sounds like a freakin' Bansee man! That's awesome...how do you get to sound like that when you are going 0mph?

hehe.

I love videos.
