    All peterbilts. Only one was used for the original release of the TV movie, it was destroyed in the ending scene. For the theater release two others had been used. One is gone, the other is in North Carolina at a car museum.

    Trivia: scenes from the TV movie and one of the trucks were used in an episode of the Incredible Hulk.

    My bad. The 2nd truck was a 351. Original was a 281.

    Smokey and the bandit #1 (of course)

    Smokey and the bandit #2- only for the trucks, story line was lame. And they were supposed to buy a new Pete not a #### GMC General. Some really cool trucks in that movie though.

    over the top- great story and showed a dad trying to make Amends with his boy. Autocar was very cool, and some really cool old trucks in the background if some scenes. WIA with the double eagle is very cool also.

    Black Dog- story line is ok, some cool trucks too.

    steel cowboy- white western star “outlaw” coolest movie truck of all time I’d have to say.

    Smokey and the Bandit #3: Hardly even worth the effort to write this post about it.
