<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigBearNY, post: 3919172, member: 139287&quot;]There are a whole lot of stories about Jerry Reed out there.&nbsp; Apparently he was a genuine &quot;regular guy&quot;.&nbsp; Although I don&#039;t know if he ever professionally drove a truck as he was signed to a recording contract while still in High School as I remember, it would not surprise me if he did some truckin&#039;.&nbsp; He had several driving and truckin movies besides his 3 Smokey and the Bandit movies, such as Highballin, Gator and Stroker Ace.&nbsp; A lot of folks were sad to see him go.</p><p><br /></p><p>You did make me smile with the stories of Jerry Reed talking on the CB.&nbsp; What great fun!</p><p><br /></p><p>My grandson and I share a hobby.&nbsp; We like to race and collect slot cars.&nbsp; A hobby I have had since the 60&#039;s when I was a young boy. If you are unfamiliar, they are scale electric cars that run on a slotted track that a pin on the car or truck fits in.&nbsp;&nbsp; He and I have watched the first Smokey and the Bandit movie.&nbsp; He enjoyed it so much I have started building working slot car models of Burt Reynolds&#039; (Smokey) Trans Am, Jackie Gleason&#039;s (Sheriff Buford T. Justices) Pontiac police cruiser and as you may have guessed, Jerry Reed&#039;s (the Snoman) Kenworth including a fully decorated trailer.&nbsp; While doing research for the model I found one of the snoman trailers is on display in a farm field in Georgia.&nbsp;&nbsp; One of my sons moved down there...&nbsp; It&#039;s on my list of things to see when I visit![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
