m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10201970643146575&id=1800084905 for all the people who dont understand the creek..this is prior to us pulling it out..the young man was the one driving down by our creek on the farm.
We lived up in the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky and sometimes we end up in ditches too!!!.. we love having mud runs up here with our monster trucks!! .... Wish I was there with my F350 super duty 7.3 diesel.... Wouldn't have taken no more than 15 minutes to pull that little truck out!!!!
Not the prettiest extraction but they got it out with what they had and the old Chevy will live . Good thing about old trucks is they are easy to fix , usually paid for and not full of a Bunch of crappie sensors to go out. Good video
As the owner of 2 Chevy pickups I'll bet he's sprung the frame or worse. Chevys have notoriously bad frames & I'll bet he's loosened a few rivets. I wouldn't have used that method to get it out but it worked.
I see alot of wisecracks. This was a very well executed recovery. The frame has no damage because it was up rooted instead of drug or yanked. They knew what they were doing, I would've done the same if equipped.
getting stuck is always part of a great adventure, sometimes sucks, but it lends a bit of ingenuity in getting unstuck. Offroading can always get dicey sometimes, but that's what makes it fun
`Most of the time you always pull it out the way it went in and it won't roll over. Also that is an International Dozer, no CAT in the video, I am surprised the dozer had enough energy to move itself let alone the truck. The driver of the dozer mostly knew what he was doing, although his rigging was still a bit lacking. He WAS smart enough to go get a chain, Also, I was waiting for them to rip the truck in 1/2. Still not sure why they didn't take it out backwards. IMPORTANT THING, you got it out..... good job. (By the way, an expert at "unstucking things" because I'm the rancher who always has something stuck and all the other ranchers have to come throw me a chain or drive one of my loaders or tractors to get me out. (a bit hard by yourself.) LOL (I enjoyed the video, it was shear entertainment.)
Glenn Chabut ,,yes better to tie off the front end then pull from back left corner , but then the old dozer might not have been able to get behind, it did not have enough power to even push a little dirt
I see that several folks have already weighed in on this shit show, so I may as well put in my two cents! My first observations are that it's a dang Chevrolet and secondly that's not a "Cat" but an International dozer which by all accounts must not have a low gear anymore by the ground speed at which it was operated.....or it has a low range that the operator apparently is oblivious to. I can see why they retained the strap on the back end to the tree......keep the dang thing from naturally flipping over into the creek. It is easy for all of us to armchair quarterback this situation and say how easy it'd be for US to get the thing out, but this was a back shit show from the start. The fact that it got out, drove away, and didn't get pulled in half from that tug of war with the tree is amazing by itself!!
Observo que o terreno impróprio ,e deve ter danificado a roda dianteira no caso o eixo ,dianteiro.fazer nivelamento das rodas e corrigir afinal se trata não de trator verificar antes de ir para o asfalto.Nessecsso oficina autorizada Chevrolet.
You are correct. The cab was full of water. My cow jumped the creek one year and tried to jump back. He ended up in the creek. He was a full grown Holstein.! His head was the only thing that was above water.
I come from a mining town with lot's of dirt roads and swamps. These people needs a physics lesson . They should have move to a forward tress at 80 % and drove forward to reduce stress on the truck strearing and front end. Spinning his wheels was a gay move and lot's of gay at this job.
Linda Cap I don't care where you come from, and where you grow up, you learned your way, and those dudes learn their way, stay in your lane, I drove tow trucks for a living, and I think they did a great job, so you are entitled to your opinion, but everyone opinion is not right, and your opinion is one of the wrong ones.
XxNOLA_FLUX You you think they way they pulled the truck out was great? But oh you drove a tow truck for a living so if course you know all of the best ways to pull stuff? Where did you drive this tow truck, on your knees in your sand box? 1st the truck should had been pulled from the rear. Second, turn the truck into the direction it’s being pulled or risk steering and frame damage. The dozer had a blade, should had used it and lifted it out... but the person on it didn’t know enough about it to put the dozer in low range. I would had stayed away from the dozer... also the dozer has clutches in it the way he was jerking it around when turning it.. glad it’s not mine. Lastly the stupid person in the truck didn’t even have it in 4wd... If they couldn’t turn the steering because of the mud it should had been lifted out or pulled from the rear... You just can’t fix Stupid! Clearly whom ever was driving it was completely useless as a driver or drunk... oh I know... I own a jacked up Chevy with big oh 35’s on it let’s test it out! No mater the brand a 4wd is not a tank and unless it has lockers it isn’t going that well... Even with lockers and all four wheels pulling your not coming out of that without a winch or something pulling you out. One last thing, if you really did drive a tow truck I guess it was stealing for a living, repoing? Because I for one surely would not want you trying to pull anything of mine out... then again I never had to call a tow truck to get me out when I was stuck. The places me and my wife use to go in a 1980 Chevy Luv... twenty foot of chain and a come a long... no blocks... Then again I knew the limits of the bastard I was driving too.. An Isuzu built truck with the Chevrolet name stamped on it. Me & my wife lived in the foothills of NC and would drive to the mountains just to go driving in the snow... hard to believe that was thirty two years ago... a lifetime ago... longer then to many even get to be here... No one should ever have to bury their child!
Joe Dirttae You got that right! Here, I was born in Georgia and have lived most of my life in Texas... Let me say it in a way they have best chance of comprehending... “By Gawd Slick!!!

Bald head and stupidity Carhartt coveralls and four wheeling for blah blah blah oh probably drinking a few beers in about the time he took a drink could blow up there he went into the creek anyway what the hell happened
Bunch of pencil pushers out for a "bonding experience" or "teamwork workshop" is my guess for how this whole exercise came about. It appeared the only person there with a shred of common sense was the camera man who kept telling them to turn the wheel (which apparently was too great an obstacle for the driver to think of before) out of the hole and toward dry land.
