Spence,
Very Nice Video!
You also done an Excellent Job on your restoration!!
Truck looks Very well Done.
Took mine out this morning for papers and breakfast.

Nice Job!,

Spencer,
Good job with the PW! Also you are shifting that pretty good.
How hard is it to make a you tube video?
Thanks! Considering it's much more difficult to drive a non-synchronized transmission than one you would find in today's cars, many people are confused as to how I "enjoy" driving this car, because, although it's called the "Power Wagon", there is actually nothing "Power" about it. I have also spent a pretty inordinate amount of time trying to perfect my double-clutch.
Youtube videos are not hard to make at all, and I'm sure if you can understand these forums (Which you can), then you will be very comfortable with youtube.
One of the simplest ways is, if you have a small digital camera that records video, to just use that. In that manner, you can take the video directly from the camera and upload it to youtube.
I did this little thing a while back, it's a short one of the Outer Limits running the inlet at Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. My moniker is m37b1bruce, even though I don't have a B-1.
Enjoy,

Reason: more cyphering
I'm not getting the joke about the cul-de-sac... And at least it's not a roundabout. That would be ridiculous
I think Gordon is saying that you don't often see urban cul-de-sacs being used by Power Wagons. Our old Dodges are usually more comfortable in a nice rural environment.

Ahh... ok, that's what I was thinking. The other thing is that Power Wagons are nearly impossible to make around the cul-de-sac. You have to make it very wide, and It took me a while to finally get it right without having to backup and re-align myself
Nice job, Spencer! The sound on your video is so good, I can hear that you need T-case shift lever bushings, maybe the pivot pin is worn...let me know if you need either the bushings or the pin...
Great choice of color too, looks sharp and crisp!
