I let him know. He seems amused, haha.

 

I just wrote to the Texas chapter heads. Thank you again for the heads up.

 

I just think it would be so freaking cool to see all those vintage vehicles lined up at a 1970s truck stop as if they were loaded up and on their way somewhere else.... man I hope we can make it happen.

 

I hope so. Every part of this process has been pretty fun and interesting.

I used this book which has some incredible photos of people just living their lives.









After that I've been checking out youtube videos of people's vintage trucks. I like this one of a guy driving a 1978 Peterbilt 359 with a Detroit engine and a Spicer transmission. I liked it so much I hope I can put a Spicer transmission in the movie, haha.

 

Hey everyone. it's been a long time since I posted. I don't have much of an update… we asked a few different actors to be in the movie and I don't think they even read the script and they said no. It's been a year or so and we are just going to keep on reaching out to people and asking. I'll let you know if I ever get any good news.

A fun trivia question crossed my mind and I thought someone here might be able to answer. If you had to try to quantify the strength that it takes to turn the manual steering column of an old semi, say like a 1970 Peterbilt 359 which is what we want in the movie, no power steering, no center point, at a full stop, what would that be like? how many pounds of torque or newton meters or what have you?

thank you in advance for your consideration.

 

Thank you. Good to see you again!
