The family truck is a twenties- vintage Oldsmobile modified into a truck, as was common in that period- the precursor to purpose-built pickup trucks. It had a handbrake and the operator had to heave backwards to release the handbrake in order to get the car in gear. On the show, this job nearly always fell to Jethro. I had throught maybe this cut in a compressed-air starting gear but it was the handbrake.
