1979 K20 vintage 30mph test crash vid

Interesting crash test video. The cab is sound. Would hurt to be the passenger. I believe the hood was designed to buckle. Nice truck even had tow hooks.

Nice! Although it hurt to see it get destroyed.

Found this one showing some bad crash tests, none are Chevy related but still fun to watch.

Might be time to sell my F150 after seeing it in that video.

Now you got me hooked on crash videos. Here's a 78 Blazer.

Look at the rear seat in the blazer. It became unlatch. Yikes. The drivers gets it in the throat with the steering wheel.

Yeah I saw that. They missed some valuable data there. I was thinking that it must not have been latched properly. I don't know how it latches on a 78, but on my 89 I can't budge it if its latched correctly. I always give it a good shove to make sure it is.

Naw the hood just had rusty hinges.

These are sad to watch. Hard to believe people live through accidents worse than this. Thanks for the links. At least we know they are tested to try to ensure greatest livability before they hit the street.
