Jumping a 66 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blazerboy72 · 01-07-2010, 08:49 PM

I know this isn't a 67-72 but it is an amazing jump for a 14' tall truck. They are also building a 70 lwb that will probably be bigger and better than this one. I cant remember what size engine it is but it is suppose to be 1100 hp in both of them with 5 ton axles.

Bada$$!

**truckster** · 01-07-2010, 10:26 PM

Yeah, but I'd be more impressed if the video showed them driving it out.

blazerboy72 · 01-07-2010, 10:28 PM

Yeah it isnt driveable the rearend was shifted about 2 feet and it broke the transfer case.

What a waste of a shortbox.

Joemomma1 · 01-08-2010, 12:19 AM

I dont know if it gets any more redneck than that.

62gmc910 · 01-08-2010, 12:22 AM

holy ...... thats a rough jump does that truck have a roll cage???

dolphman88 · 01-08-2010, 02:19 AM

thats pretty sick... wish it was a ford body they were wasting tho...

blazerboy72 · 01-08-2010, 09:28 AM

No, no roll cage.

rwolf9653 · 01-08-2010, 09:38 AM

Look at the angle of the rear drive shaft!

blazerboy72 · 01-08-2010, 10:30 AM

The rear driveshaft is broken that isnt the normal angle of it.

62 short step · 01-08-2010, 07:21 PM

Cool! I would have a cage for sure!

shortbed70 · 01-08-2010, 07:25 PM

If you look close you can see the sahft input to the transfer is turning but nothing out.

hardley impressive

TimE · 01-09-2010, 04:12 PM

That is an awesome truck!! Thanks for posting up.

As for the comments of it being a "waste" and "redneck", similar comments could be made about a slammed truck. It's all about personal preference...

I, myself, appreciate the fact that an old truck is being used and enjoyed, no matter if it's slammed, bodydropped, lifted, shortened, extended, chopped or (enter modification here). Just my $.02 worth, though.

chevytrucknut · 01-09-2010, 06:03 PM

I guess I meant "It looks like he wasted a good short box." My post has NOTHING to do with the truck being a jacked up,mud slingging 4x4.He's driving it like he stole it. We can't see the passenger side but at the angle he was coming down it sure looks like he had to teak something(on the bed). Someone has done lots of work on it and to treat it so poorly is just sad. There is a difference between enjoy and thrash. Just my .02

blazerboy72 · 01-09-2010, 06:15 PM

You are right he did crush the passenger side bed. I haven't seen the truck in person since the jump but he is building a new one so I'm sure it isnt good.

I couldnt have said it better myself!!!!! I want one of everything. Some of my friends say I have an identity crisis because of all the types of cars and trucks I like. Lowrider guys hate the lifted truck guys and vice versa. Im a fan of all.

Of course it is. No one is stating that lifted trucks are for red necks, it's just an opinion. I can see this on the back window. Ha ha, Im just pokin' fun.
