I always wanted a model of Colt's truck but the original model kits on a certain selling site were way too expensive until one day I saw a video for the Deserter truck model kit. On closer inspection it turned out that it can be built as Colt's truck. Of course I had to get aftermarket decals but at least I can now add it to the collection

Not true, as the one and only mid-engine truck did not appear until the end of Season 2, long after the compartment truck had already been in use on the series for almost two seasons. And as already stated, none of the stunt trucks ever had compartments. There were a couple trucks that did have a steel panel to simulate the compartment, but it was in no way a real compartment.

Glen Larson promised he would have fun doing this one and he reluctantly agreed. 2) Lee Majors sings the theme song on the intro. 3) The intro song was also a sarcastic slap in the face to his ex wife when he sings "I'm not the kind to kiss and tell but I've been seen with Farrah"

A decent video you did here, but I have many more truck details for you if you're interested. There was no Sierra Grande package available in '82, so the two Sierra Grande hero trucks used were actually '81 models. This has been confirmed by VIN. Those same two hero trucks were used from Season 1 through Season 4, and also were used in the first two episodes filmed for Season 5 (but those two episodes actually aired as the first and last episode of Season 5). I could go on and on.

I remember making a model of that truck when I was like 12 or so. Parked it right next to the General Lee model,and later the Hardcastle and McCormick Coyote. Excellent video

One key thing wrong with your video (i failed to see it mentioned elsewhere in the comment section) is you incorrectly referred to Colt's truck as a "K2500". There never was a K2500. The "2500" classification came about in '88, when GM renamed their trucks R (2WD) & V (4WD) with the 1500, 2500, and 3500 denoting 1/2, 3/4, and 1 ton classification. C = 2WD K = 4WD "10" = 1/2 ton "20" = 3/4 ton "30" = 1 ton "10" = Chevy (Chevrolet) "15" = GMC Colt's truck was a K25. I'm a squarebody guy, and this common incorrect labelling (by so many out there) irks me, lol! Luv your videos regardless, always look forward to your new episodes!

@@CarStarz42 I haven't seen it but based on the trailers and from what I've read...I don't care for it. The music they used for the trailers was Journey and Bon Jovi...which is inconsistent with the show....but I get it. Ryan Gosling seems like bad casting. Colt was a grown man... a tough guy. Gosling is a babyface. And worst of all...they took the bounty hunter element out of his character. The only mildly redeeming quality is Lee Majors is supposed to have a minor role.

The dual square headlight was the base design. The fancier trucks had the quad headlights. My 82 GMC had the dual headlights along with rubber floor, no headliner or pillar trim, plastic door trim, and crank windows.

True, you could get the base model trucks after 1980 with dual headlights, but the pilot episode is definitely a pre 1981. It has a different grill shell and more squared off front edge of the fenders and hood.

@@chadkimmel8957 Agreed. Every squarebody guy (& gal) simply refers to the 73-80 trucks as a "round-eye". I had a '81 C10 like your '82 - 250 inline 6 - 3-on-the-tree -manual steering - manual brakes - no "vent", only defrost and heat (floor) As well as having a rubber floor matt, it also had no headliner, and was factory radio delete truck.

I would imagine the movie would be a resounding success, not unlike the blockbuster Dukes of Hazzard. I wish Hollywood would leave the classics as they are, classics. Can't wait to see how horrible GM's attempt at the FG truck will look, considering they have turned into the ugliest truck ever built.
