Talk about a blast from the past!

The KW from the movin on show was in Cheyenne WY pulling a bellydump. I talked to the guy who had it about 3 years ago, you could still the S.Pruitt on the door. The BJ show had several trucks, I worked at SouthWest Kenworth in Tucson way back when hey were filming the program and they used to bring them in to get put back together after some of the stunts. At least one of them had a 3408 in it and a retired Air Force Colonel from Tucson bought it, they had to tear the cab apart and replace the whole doghouse, it was all busted up. The Shady Grove Truckstop where BJ used to like to hang out was right outside of Lordsburg NM. Its still there but its recently closed.

 

What I would like to know is what happened to the trucks used in Smokey and the Bandit I? I saw the trailer one day at TTT in Tucson not long after the movie came out. I love the A models but glad I don't drive one anymore
