JOE KLECKO on BURT REYNOLDS (2023 Interview)

[@Stanwood32]

This is great!

I wish I could ask him if he has any info about the Peterbilt in Smokey II.

[@PussyBonpensiero]

I do, a friend of my Father's ended up owning it in the late 80's/early 90's. By the time he got it, it was in tough shape, I remember it needing a lot of TLC.

[@robbygaines3214]

​@@PussyBonpensiero Do you know if it still exists or looks anything like it did in the movie? I wish some pics of it would turn up.

[@PussyBonpensiero]

@@robbygaines3214I have no idea bud, it's been over 30 years since I saw that truck. I doubt it's still surviving, when my Dad's buddy owned it, I remember it was one thing after another with it...he ran it for a couple 2, 3 years and got rid of it. Unfortunately I don't know who/where he sold it. One thing I do remember about it, the frame crossmember right above the tail lights was bent down, we used to joke "Joe must've sat down on that" ;)

Hangin' in there my good man. Hope you are doing well. Chapter 8 has been kicking my ass but it will be an important one. Cheers! Gator

@@GATORMcKLUSKYreviews Good to read you’re hanging in there. Life for me has been busy, but any complaints I have don’t amount to a hill of beans. Looking forward to Chapter 8! Take care ~ Chuck
