10 Killer Facts About Creeper's '41 Chevy COE Truck - Jeepers Creepers

@@CarStarz42 especially as I’m sure they’re seen using the column shifter… 🤔

[@NBSV1]

They did have to go for the extra drama of being chased and grinding the gears trying to shift. I think that’s why they did the fake shifter.

Number six. They should have looked into and upgraded the cooling systems of both as well. An Inline six can't be cooled fast enough if it is constantly running from a V-8 truck even if it just one of the smallest big blocks. Same with the trucks. Props to Tom, for giving one of these trucks the drivetrain it deserves, and to Troy for what you are doing with truck number two. And Scott for his LS dropped replica along with Kevin's screen accurate replica. Thank you gentlemen.

Love the Video! Thanks for the shout out.. I own Truck #2 it now has been fully restored since this video was made.. So when I got it.. it had a 235 engine in it.. this was the motor that was in it during filming.. well it started leaking Antifreeze out of the side of the engine block.. so we pulled the motor.. we installed another 235 engine.. the head blew several times before i said the heck with this.. JC ( The Creeper Truck ) now has been upgraded.. 350 four bolt main, 400 Turbo Automatic transmission, power steering, disk front brakes.. and brand new complete wiring harness.. It truly runs like it should.. its a hot rod.. and ALOT FASTER than the Chase Truck.. But again thanks for the shout out!

This one gives out vibes to the tow truck in the first “ Wrong Turn” movie, I believe it may have been a Dodge. There is actually one a few miles away from us that was in use by a local towing company up until the early 2000’s. Not built for Highway use obviously but it would pull a freight train with the old flathead six banger & gearing that is in it.

You are wrong about the truck being able to catch up with the Impala, even with it having extra gears. Those trucks were geared so low that they would top out at 50-55 mph. The Impala could have easily ran pulled away from that truck in real life, with a top speed of at least 85-90 mph. It isn’t the number of gears that make a vehicle fast, per say, it is the gearing that determines the acceleration and the top speed.

Trucks were cool and most enjoyed the film as well, sorry you didn't 😉

A truly stupid movie wih zero horror, zero terror, zero suspense, made zero plot sense. I guess the director never took lessosn from directors like Toby Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Wes Craven (Hills have eyes and Last House on the Left), or John Carpenter (Halloween). Ranks right down there with Hellraiser and the stupid hell beings like that fat guy wearing sunglasses or that S & M gal demon. Yawn.

Opinions vary I suppose 😉

Did any company ever make a 1/87 scale or 1/64 scale - jeepers keepers truck. ?

Unfortunately not as I looked into that when researching for the video.
