"PennDOT Presents" Snowfight ca. 1965

This 12-minute video takes a leisurely look at the department's year-round snow fighting efforts. Notice the effective use of music!

[@CarswithNash]

Love seeing all the old trucks in this video, especially the Internationals!👍

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

The FWDs, Chevrolets, A Dodge and the slowest but hardest working truck, the R190s.

[@Wa3ypx]

At 2:40, industrial and commercial deliveries are impaired. Religious and sports are canceled. PennDOT says "We cant have that!" 2020 rolls in. Enter Tom Freakin Wolf. CANCEL EVERYTHING!!

[@jordanjudas441]

At least 73. There's a couple square body chevy pickup trucks

[@willspc5652]

Was thinking the same thing

[@leehuff2330]

Hadn't got that far. I did see a 72-80 Dodge and 2 1970 Internationals.

[@markdanielczyk944]

Nice! Chevy, Dodge and IH trucks, along with the Beacon Rays and other two bulb beacons, this is how to plow snow! Just like when I started, Thank You for saving this video, and sharing it with us!

[@gregpenny3383]

This video is much later than 1965. The video refers to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and to PennDOT. PennDOT did not come into existence until 1970. Prior to 1970, it was the Pennsylvania Department of Highways.

[@davidnull5590]

I was watching this video from ca. 1965 and was wondering how a 1973 Plymouth was driving, time travel much?

[@fhowland]

I could tell by the music lol

[@inrustwetrust5395]

This video is from the mid 1970s telling from the vehicles.

[@lowercherty]

At least one post '73 pickup at one point, and the Chevy plow truck is post '67.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Ditto

[@brucekitchura3680]

I grew up in northeast Pa. I remember this. The sound of the plows and their flashing yellow lights at night during the storm. It was just part of living in the northeast

[@brucethomas3100]

Bruce Kitchura Yeah, there was one scene where there was a truck with a blower on it that looked as though the driver was clearing snow from a city park or ballfields or something. I guess that's more important than cleaning the interstate, toll roads and U S highways. Used to drive a commercial vehicle up and down the toll roads of Pennsylvania and my deliveries were always late due to snow and packed snow on the toll road and U S highways. Again, I guess clearing snow from the park roadways and roadways around the ballfields were more important.

Real cool video I’ve seen the old trucks international Chevy C 60 and the Dodges. Those old-timers were a tough crowd couldn’t find guys like that to work now!

[@victoriafraser965]

the green Chevy truck at about the 6 minute point is a 1972

[@ScottRothsroth0616]

~6:00

[@Loganlanfear21]

This video was likely filmed in the mid 70's. Most of the vehicles are from the 70's including many of the pickup trucks that are featured.

[@kymmartin1171]

My husband drives plow and has almost 30 years, God bless him.

[@adamwasicki6980]

I love it tks for the clip

[@leehuff2330]

This video is later than 1965. The truck at 1:52 is a 1972-1980 Dodge. Additionally, the trucks at 2:04 and 2:30 are 1970 Internationals

[@xfactor4598]

I believe the narrator is Ron Stephenson from WJAC in Johnstown.

[@frigginmustardtiger7740]

8:30 there’s a 75-76 Chevy truck

[@donaldschlosser6964]

If not 78

[@shabadoo24]

Video is early to mid 70's

[@walterneville2625]

I AGREE THERE IS A DODGE DART THERE, THE FIRST YEAR OF THAT BODY STYLE IS 1970, THE INTERNATIONAL PICKUP IS A 1971 0R NEWER.

[@RM.....]

Back when it actually snowed in the winter. The good ole days

[@tomstarcevich1147]

I love ❤️ global warming 😆👍

[@grosseileracingteam]

How could anyone live through that without front or all wheel drive, ABS, SRS like air bags, heated seats and steering wheels, his and hers climate control, bluetooth, mp3, GPS navigation, hands free phones, and remote start? Back in my day we called it Michigan winter driving. Now kids think it's a cool motorsport called "drifting". Sad.

[@CarswithNash]

Oh come on I used to drift the hell out of my ‘73 Comet! ...as my teeth chattered!🤣❄️

[@hines862009]

I miss sleeping in the back window of the old Bonneville.

[@williamweiss6128]

Bwah ha ha. Old school, giturdun.

[@tomstarcevich1147]

Easy I did you don't need all that crap

[@daw162]

I remember two things back then - two wheel drive trucks, so put snow in the back to put weight on drive wheels And stud tires / chains. Probably not so much appreciated now! I was very young in the late 70s - if you lived in a rural area, unless you were driving some distance to work, we didn't "go out and do so many things" far away - going into town or the next town over was about it.

[@universalexports6119]

I can't believe the age of some of the workers in this video...now a days they would all be in their late 20's & 30's and fat with tons of tattoo's - they looked like they were in the 60's and older in this video.

[@jordanfrontino244]

Now they are mostly lazy fat shits who dont do anything but waste tax dollars and drive around all day slather assing any job they do.. I live in Pennsylvania and have never seen anything like it.

[@universalexports6119]

@@jordanfrontino244 they're all in just for a pension... nobody takes pride in anything they do anymore

[@jordanfrontino244]

@@universalexports6119 you got that right. I work at zippo and best bet I'm proud of it and take pride in earning my dollar. Have a good new year be safe out there.

[@Imintune...]

65 ?' More like 75 .

[@fhowland]

I was thinking the music was not 1965 sounding lol

[@Smittyschannel]

Not to be a downer, but this must be from 1975 or so, because there's definitely early to mid 70's cars & trucks in the video

[@CCscott]

The music 👍🏼👍🏼

[@richardrice8076]

6:03 1971 or 1972 Chevy pick up

[@mathewsmith2650]

thats not from 1965 when a 1974 square body chevy pickup passes a snowplow the men putting a post by a manhole are standing in front of a 1970 chevy pickup i know because i owned 1 the same year

[@charlesviner1565]

[@davidroosa4561]

[@edf7008]

[@oscaracme]

Right at the start, a mid-70's Dodge......Just what you'd expect from the state.......can't even get the years right within a decade. (and these are the dipsticks telling us to put on our face diapers cause they work!)
