The most impressive was the Colorado 11,000 ft. pass.
Load of lumber. I’ve been over that pass and cars are doing 60 and more right up it !
How things have changed.
I guess the 105 was a 261?
Edit, I didn’t catch the year of the film, but I guess it was a 235, improved power
over the 216.

The 105 (105 horsepower) is definitely the 235 engine with splash lubrication. Around the 3:20 minutes of the film, notice the oil field truck with damaged front grill. I also noticed variation in the thickness of the belt pinstripe, well known to those of this forum who care about such things. Near the end was a truck with a nice bumper guard for the big front bumper.
I want a Vernor's COE real bad!

He's also got a Caterpillar D-4 dozer that hasn't run in about 3 days past forever, one of the old rigs with the gasoline pony engine for starting.
