Indy clinging onto the front of a fast-moving truck


I know a stunt double did the trick under the truck, and some of the propeller shots like the mechanic's tool being shattered by it, but there were still shots of Harrison Ford going really close to the spinning propeller, so how did they do that?

And as for the truck when he's holding onto the front radiator, I find that impressive. There's the spinning wheels ready to pull the actor under them, and they've got him in that position, no CGI at all (there was none back then). How did they ensure his safety?
