Re: THEM U-TUBE CCKW VIDEOS
Another way to look at it literally is if is the best that's out there and its falling short ...then lets see a video that is done right with the Vehicle in top shape so one can see and hear the difference.
A video in which the CCKW is shown in its best light , NOT being beat on or abused .

Re: THEM U-TUBE CCKW VIDEOS
Anytime I get to look at, hear, touch a CCKW I do. Yeah, some are pretty boring videos, and some of the CCKWs on the road are less than 'factory'.
But you should always be willing to look and learn. MAybe it is a CCKW salad. Ranger.. your truck is pretty much just a mass of parts bolted together. My truck has more layers of paint than most of the rainbows you see. Its interesting to figure that stuff out.
Many trucks have the wrong X,Y and Z but other than asking about the part what good is berating someone? Maybe they have a story behind it. Maybe it was a movie truck, maybe their father/son/daughter got them the truck and they are happy with it. Maybe they simply don't know? Who knows?
The world needs knowledgeable CCKW owners, not parts snobs who cackle over rare this, and one off that.

Re: THS
I hope someone else out there can do a Good CCKW video and post it . I would gladly use mine but its far from being back on the road due to the economy so no funds as it awaits restoration.
