MEETING THE CHALLENGE 1957 Two production models of the Chevrolet "Taskforce" pickup truck were challenged to reach the summit of Pike's Peak in Colorado by climbing off-road. These taskforce pickups were four-wheel drive production models with "Thriftmaster" engines. The trucks left from Colorado Springs, went through Cripple Creek, then headed off-road to "Pikes Peak or Bust". At 12,000 feet there was no loss of power, but the trucks were faced with an immense boulder field that stretched from there to the top. The trucks started out where not even mules and donkeys dared to tread, and with no damage to any mechanical part, climbed through the clouds to the 14,110-foot summit. Off-roaders, here's your challenge! 10 minutes 4 films, 38 minutes.
