It’s the truck, guys. It’s got something called a “carburetor” – you know, they put them in cars before people got all upset about carbs and carbon.
I can’t see it, but I bet he’s got a pair of vise grips in place of the crank on the window regulator, which means there won’t be a steady motion.
Hold on just a minute there guys, this really does have to do with winders and stereos. Every Sunday you can watch a NASCAR race on the TV and they say “crank it up” just so you can hear the cars REAL LOUD!
To answer the question, comicgos: Yes. Before they had power windows, you had to turn a crank to raise or lower the windows. Of course, constant wear and tear meant a lot of people were grabbing the lever arm because the knob had broken off, but that was the way of things.

That rattle used to mean the car needed work, now it needs sound absorbant lining in the trunk.
