              As soon as I saw the subject of the thread I thought the truck in The Fall Guy. That was a great show.

                  a somewhat reasonable facsimile of the movie truck, but not "the" one used.

                  This one here is a "short-hood" 379 Peterbilt with a "stand-up" sleeper...has aftermarket fenders and heat shields on the stacks.

                  The actual movie truck was a 379 extended-hood(no slope to the hood, plus it's longer) with a 63" flat-top sleeper.

                  Would have to be 2003 or older, as it has the old "wing-window" style doors as opposed to the more current one-pice glass door, and the door-mount mirrors....2004 and newer uses a Kenworth-style "cowl"-mount mirror assembly.

                  Stock fenders on the front with different fenders over the duals...WTI's I think.

                  the bumper is all wrong, and NO "rookie" sticks on the bumper.

                  The truck used in the movie was built by the production company.....amazing that they did as nice a job as they did.

                  I DO like the "blinker bars" under the headlights.....may pick up a set for the 379 I drive.

                      ;)

                      Guess I was wrong on 2 points...that does have the 340-type fenders(fiberglass repops by WTI I think.....and I'd toss'em in favor of the stock 379 fenders in a heartbeat), and it DOES have the "rookie" sticks on the bumper(we call'em Texas bumpers).

                      Really, with the exception of the blue "chicken" and roof-mount ICC lights, there's nothing I see that would prevent this from being put on the road with a wagon....the "headache" rack makes it able to pull a flatbed or lowboy(DOT regulations require some form of a bulkhead, either on the trailer or the back of the cab/sleeper on the tractor).


                      I likey...... ;D

                        I can believe I didn't think of Optimus Prime, my son has a poster of it hanging 5 ft from the computer! I saw on some "how they did that' show that the production company started with a beat up road whore for starts. I guess anythings possible, look what the Chrome Shop Mafia can do in a half hour.LOLOLOLO
