Hellacious RPM Video: Ride In-Truck With A Big Block Chevy Equipped Puller As It Screams To The Moon!


Hellacious RPM Video: Ride In-Truck With A Big Block Chevy Equipped Puller As It Screams To The Moon!

(Editor’s note: If you are going straight to the video, skip to 2:00! That’s when the action starts!) I’ve often said that part of the attraction of watching truck and/or tractor pulling is that the pulls themselves are like protracted dyno pulls that seem to go on forever. Case in point is this video which sows the in-cab view of an early 1970s Chevy pulling truck with a 468ci big block Chevy engine. This truck revs to the freaking moon. It is impossible to see the tach due to the clarity of the footage, but when the needle is standing straight up or even over center at some points, you know that it is pulling at least 8,000 and perhaps even close to clipping 9,000 RPM. Even at the end of the run when the driver’s progress is halted by the mighty sled, he still gives ‘er the old college try and buries his right foot in one last attempt to pick up another couple inches or feet.

Try to get to a pulling event this summer just to check it out. There are lots of regional series, local groups, and there’s always the big boys of the NTPA if you want the major league experience!

PRESS PLAY AND SKIP TO 2:00 SO YOU CAN PICK IT UP WHEN THE ACTION STARTS. THIS THING SOUNDS BRUTAL AND THAT’S THE FINEST COMPLIMENT WE CAN GIVE IT! SCREAMING RAT FTW!
