A Short Ride In The Duel Truck

1960 Peterbilt 281, Burbank California January, 2005.
This is the 1960 Peterbilt 281 that is known as the "Surviving Duel Truck." This truck has appeared in multiple places, the 1994 music video for David Lee Roth's song "She's My Machine," the 1994 movie "New Nightmare," a commercial for the Chevrolet Malibu, and the 2004 movie "Torque." It has also appeared in a Motor Trend magazine, as well as Ten Four Magazine. While this truck is known as the surviving Duel truck there is currently no documentation to link this truck to the production of the movie.

Seeing that pull out of the driveway gave me chills!!!

[@pwea1anda294]

l0l id like to see him back it in. pretty good driver id say eh

[@colin24092008]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! And the fact, that the Peterbilt still exists, is soo amazing!!! ...

[@Chevyguy2010]

For the movie, they had two of those trucks, one got destroyed an other was maybe taken to junkyard. People just find other trucks like it an made it look like the duel truck.

[@Black94Lightning]

Actually one Peterbilt still exist, it’s owned by a guy in North Carolina. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6G7pZmPhd-BaZI

[@daybreakjoelYT]

@@Chevyguy2010 Actually the one you see is one of the survival trucks from the recordings, and the other one is with a different person, they're making a recreation of Duel 1971, One of them got destroyed for the driving off a cliff scene.

[@Klapauzius-369]

Is the double truck... :O)

For the rare person that would know what that truck is - can you imagine seeing that in your rearview mirror and just having a complete "oh fuck" reaction?

Times have changed alot buddy. Go ahead everyone and buy a orange Dodge Challenger Hellcat or Demon and I damn guarantee that truck driver will think twice!!!!!

[@ratscoot]

If you have a Valiant make sure it’s a hemi and not a slant six.

[@DKS225]

Just hope when you see this truck that you don't have a psychotic lunatic driving it. Though fun fact is the truck driver in Duel was also the film's stunt coordinator Gary Loftin.

Nah, that trailer is pretty short. I bet it doesn’t have power steering, that’s the challenge.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

When the current owner passes, this beauty must be preserved in the National Auto and Truck Museum! I’ve always loved the 281’s and the movie made it more famous!

[@RustyZipper]

“RexCars1” owned this truck some 12 years back. He explained that the truck originally had a Cummins 262, that engine blew up during a music video and was replaced with a Small Cam 350 hp Cummins. George Sacks (Jack Knife King) was the original owner/ builder. Truck is currently at Brad Wike’s in NC

[@joebarbjb6668]

Learned in the 1950s on a 5 and 4, you handle the shifter like an expert. Great job.

[@bradjarrett4756]

Awesome. I can only imagine going for a ride in that truck, wish I could add it to my bucket list but it could never happen. Nice to see it has been kept in all its glory, after so many years.

[@rogermellie2619]

It's one of my favourite films, it's an ageless classic.

[@scottmcmichael1386]

I remember seeing Duel when I was like 12, scared the shit out of me. I still love that movie, one of the most suspenseful movies ever, like Jaws, of course there are similarities? Haha😂

[@normanwaterman2017]

Still see that damn truck in my dreams sometimes. It would be creepy as heck seeing that Peterbilt in the rear-view mirror.

[@samuelegbert2199]

For those that care to know, a man named Carrey Loftin Was the driver of the Duel truck in the movie. He was also the driver for George C. Scott's character in the movie "Patton".

[@tonywolton]

I care to know, but don't be offended, the title credits for Duel show him as Gary, not Carrey. I will look out for him in Patton....maybe this time you see his face?

[@samuelegbert2199]

@@tonywolton yes, if you watch the movie Patton, he's actually Gen. Bradley's (Carl Mauldin) driver.

[@nascarfan88ta]

His name was spelt Carey, but Duel mistakenly spelt it Cary. Loftin had some sort of involvement somehow in a ton of films, including, It's a Mad, Mad Mad Mad World, Smokey and the Bandit, Stroker Ace and so many others that it would take hours to write them all down.

[@keesjanvan3154]

Thank you!

[@jamestcallahanphotographer]

I know that!

[@briancenti5423]

this brings back great memories of a classic movie. sometimes never seeing what is after you is twice as scary. nothing beats the fear of the unknown. there certainly was a great amount of awesome movies in the late 60'-the early 70's.this being the perfect example. it was a great time to be a movie fan. this was excellent.

[@matthewmckee9914]

This is one of the best thriller films ever made, good verses evil, 1971 based off of a short magazine article about road rage.

[@criartoros]

Love the fan on the dash which can be seen spinning at the end of the film off the cliff

[@lebaillidessavoies3889]

[@Jaque1961]

That's not the original with the plates on the front, a guy who purchases old trucks bought it, not the same one.

[@DRock6906]

Even after 48 years, if you saw this truck behind you, you would automatically get scared :-) When I saw Duel in 1971 as a kid, every 18 wheeler that got behind our car on the highway reminded me of how this truck TERRORIZED Dennis Weaver!

[@jamestcallahanphotographer]

Saw it as a kid, too...I was 11. I remember the ad for it in TV Guide: “10 tons of rolling death!”

Absoloutly!I was borrn 1971 when steven Spielberg had his first Diriction with this Movie. I saw this Film in the Plain from our Flight with my Mother back from Thailand to Germany 1980. So I was 9 Years old.In thease days,it would'ed be a little "Ileagal too let watsch a kid this Movie. But in a Plain,how you can separate kids if an adult Movie is showing. Anyway, I had no Nightmares,and I still find this Movie amazing great!!!

[@Nitramrec]

0:02 Min.: Love how the can went flying from the exhaust on the start of the engine ...

[@junkdeal]

One time I bought an old rat Ford tanker straight truck, Brought batteries and popped it off. A bird nest flew out like that! It was Spring and there were baby birds on the ground after that! Another time, I was driving a GMC tandem dump truck that I hadn't used in a while. On an asphalt job at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL. There was a hornet nest under there somewhere and apparently when I left, the bees stayed on it. Got to the jobsite, and they started harassing the workers there! They blamed it on me, since they could see them around the truck body!
