My uncle and his rig were extras in the convoy scene of the movie. I have a picture of my uncle and CW McCall. The movie had a call out for truckers so my uncle jumped at the opportunity. I’m 53 and I have my dvd copy of this movie. A true trucker classic.

Agreed. Saw it as a kid back in 1978. Never thought about the original truck still being around. Assume a replica and a good stuntman were used at the end of the movie as special effects did not exist at today's levels,and obviously neither did CGI and green screen.

That is true of most Mack trucks historically. In addition to tractor-trailers, Mack makes smaller class 7/8 trucks (they compete with International, Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge in the just-below-tractor-trailer classes) - we have a rather large number in the DC suburbs - doing duty in the trades - such as cement mixer front ends, or toting gravel (aggregate) or even (don't laugh!) dirt. In my immediate area (southern suburbs if Washington DC) it's Chaney Enterprises that has a lot of these *smaller* Macks.

I got a one stack Mack with a window in the back, it's a 5-speed Mack so I run it with the Tach, It's got a Py-ro-meter so I don't overheat her, so I can make it back with my One Stack Mack. Anyone that drove those old Macks will know what I'm talkin' about.

There is still one of those Macks out there on the road last I read. It was turned into a dump truck and several people have tried to buy it with no luck. Bruhn brothers trucking also bought Pigpen's Mack Cruiseliner after the movie and put it to work. It was laid over on its side by one of their drivers hauling a heavy load and wrecked beyond repair.

In 1977 I was stationed in New Mexico at Holloman Air Force Base Near White Sands. One day on base I passed a long line of Semi's and several tan cop cars parked along the street. On one flatbed was the front section of a black Mack truck with poles sticking off it's roof. Only later after seeing the movie Convoy did I realize what I had seen. It was production vehicles from the movie including the cab used for closeups of Kristofferson and MacGraw. The poles would have held the cameras.
