Trucks of Hollywood

K-100 in George Straits movie "Pure Country"

 

1971 Duel. A rogue tank trucker shows up out of no where and harasses this fellow through out the show.
Here is a short clip. Fast forward to 4 minutes to see the truck.
This was a great idea for a thread I might add.

 

Am I the only one that thinks the cabover especially the freightliner and Kenworth have a menacing look especially in movies they just look tall and angry with that big grill.....

 

I’d say the one from duel is pretty menacing.

 

Yes well the chasing was menacing and how fast the Pete was ....but I'm saying from a looks perspective the Height of the cabover with just that square body and windshield visor, like the cabover tow truck in Terminator 2 that thing was just scary...

 

They were definitely cool. I liked how the entire body jacked up above the motor to work on it.
You were just way up front if you hit something else or like if a car pulled out in front of you.
I saw a strait truck once that was a cab over. It had been hit head on by another vehicle. The drivers seat was gone because a car had gone all the way through the cab and out through the back of the box van.
