I've seen that before, very cool. Couldn't duplicate it today, to many bureaucrats and EPA hoops to jump thru.

Re: Off-Road Climb up Pikes Peak with Chevrolet truck in 1957
Thanks for posting that,355 bullet! I love seeing our trucks used as trucks. Sometimes we forget how tough they are.
I bet those little 6 bangers were wheezing up there at 14000 feet.... My 57 burb used to go anywhere I dared to go, with the granny gear and two wheel drive. I laughed at how those guys were riding in the bed and on the running boards! . Here is another good one, they mentioned The Alcan Run,well here it is. Posted via Mobile Device

Thats the video that got me, and if you have ever been anywhere near that place you know how rugged the county is and how tough the men and the trucks must have been to get the job done.

That was great! Love the way they made these old factory films, I went to school as a HD mechanic years ago and saw lots of old films made by GM and others, but this was really cool!

If you listen carefully I think they had two trucks rigged the same, one was probably the camera rig.
