Watching that reminded me of the time my grandfather and I went to check on the farm after the blizzard of the late 70's. Between drifting and the county plow truck there was about 3-4' of snow blocking the entrance to the lane. After about 3 hours of hand shoveling grandpa was able to at least get his 65 Malibu out of the neighbors lane and off the road. Fortunately the rest of the lane was only about a foot or so deep most of the way on to the house. We had several bushel of potatoes in the cellar from the garden along with some other produce that were getting close to freezing that my grandmother was worried about. So my uncle took up his heavy duty Econoline work van with me, dad two other uncles and grandfather all piled inside and with a set of big snow tires plowed snow with the bumper to the house and saved the potatoes. :sidelaugh

:ditto:

Finally got the chance to sit down and watch the video in it's entirety.

Amazing how pure stubborn and tenacious folks were back then. Can you imagine how ramming that stuff repeatedly took it's toll on equipment (and operators)?? We seemed to be allot tougher back then

What I noticed was the guys riding in the back during some of those ramming sessions! Wow..

Too bad they couldn't record sound back then. The narrator keeps referring to what it must have been like too. I bet that exhaust was pretty loud, and I can imagine what it was like when that big plow slammed into that wall of snow!
