The Surviving Truck From Duel

[@lewisner]

Local hospitals reported an unexpected spike in the number of motorists admitted with heart problems that day. Garages reported high sales of radiator hoses.

[@officialowoahh]

Still the scariest truck

[@RexCars1]

I sure thought so.

[@jasonkrane6285]

Nah the Chevrolet Coe from Jeepers Creepers

[@RexCars1]

@@jasonkrane6285 ... Truth.. That Truck ?? " VERY " Scary..

[@No.Handle31]

I remember watching this film for the first time when I was 5. And when I used to see the truck I used to hide. 23 years later it still gives me chills what a powerful symbol of fear and intimidation.

[@TownieGirl1974]

This was my Dad's favorite movie. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I watched this movie with my Dad when I was younger. To this day I am absolutely terrified of trucks on the highway. If I ever saw THIS TRUCK barreling on the highway, I'd pass out at the wheel right there.

[@RexCars1]

It's been my fave movie since it came out in 1971.. Thanks Karen..

[@buddytwigg3552]

I made my son watch it over and over....he is 32 now and guess what he makes his son watch.....

[@michaelm3461]

Then when you regain consciousness, you look to see something big waiting for you to get moving...smoking bellowing out of the pipes...

[@ianmangham4570]

My pop loved it

[@DPUO]

That gearbox sounds beautiful; snick, snick, snick into each detent without even a hint of fuss. It's good to see such an iconic truck still on the road!

[@RexCars1]

I feel very lucky to have owned that truck.. I too saw the movie when it first aired in 71..And to have a little bit of film from when I did Is a great memory..

[@SteamKing2160]

This truck has got "badass" written all over it

[@targeteyes]

Swiss cheese on rye... R. Y. E.. Seen this film so many times. Absolutely love it.

[@RexCars1]

I have had that happen a few times.. Driving down the road . and Seeing the shocked look on peoples faces.. It was very obvious that they knew what this truck was..

[@RexCars1]

The truck that went over the cliff was the primary truck that was used in the movie.. The one you see here in this vid. was the standby truck.. ( truck # 2 ) Truck # 3 is the one that was used for the Train crossing and School bus scene's

[@SuperVoxman]

Spielberg's first film , amazing , It ticks all the boxes in every way , it is an American Film legend .

[@jackjackson376]

I'd mess my pants if I saw that thing coming up behind me on the freeway! "HOW CAN HE GO SO FAST!"

[@fshjdkfhasdkfhsd]

....he's got some kind of souped up, diesel.

[@RexCars1]

Thank you Allison.. I can't tell you how much fun this Rig was to own.. Just like you said.. Love the movie.. Love the truck for sure...

[@farmerinchico]

It's great to see this movie star again. I love it. I miss, Dennis Weaver already.

[@Skier10]

For any fan of the movie seeing this is truely awesome. Beginning at 0:12... this would be the perfect way to begin Duel Part 2. To hear it starting up again sent chills down my back. I just hope the truck is in good hands now. Hope it never dies.

[@stuckinquarantine4582]

If I saw that thing out on the street, or even heard it coming, I think I would run and hide for a few *hours*

[@williamhooper3]

I saw your truck driving East on Magnolia years ago. I couldn't believe my eyes. I shouted out the window when you went by, "Duel truck!". I turned around to get a better look, but the truck was gone like a phantom. This was just after four other sound editors and myself had recut all new sound effects for the new release on DVD with 5.1 audio. I wish we had access to your truck when we were creating the new effects. Your were just a few miles away from Universal. Thanks, for a great video and for preserving this truck. It's part of film history.

[@johntotten1611]

Did you notice the Dolby Labs building @ 3:25?

[@johannemilsom7503]

Oh my goodness joe Schlotthauer, this female Jo loved the movie and I still love it. I own a DVD copy and watch it from time to time. The above footage brought back the delicious fear I have whenever I re-watch it. It never fades......... The sight of the the truck, the sounds of it. If I ever saw it turn into my driveway I'd have heart palpitations for sure! Thanks to those who made the above video. Jo from Australia.

[@RexCars1]

So Glad you enjoyed the video.. Thank you.. It was a labor of love..

[@mosin54r2]

"I don't believe it, I just don't believe it!" They always want to talk about the chase in Bullitt, how about being chased by a Psycho driving a Peterbilt 281 while all you have is a 6 cylinder Plymouth Valiant

[@mosin54r2]

Watching this again a year later, this truck is so sinister lol. Thank you Mr. Spielberg

[@RexCars1]

Big Thank You to him.... The movie could have been So bad with out him..

[@MustangSam]

Saw the movie many, many, times and will see it many more. Love that beast of a truck. Great video.

[@somberrose85]

this movie still scares the shit outta me

[@RexCars1]

Selling this rig was NOT on the top of my To Do list let me tell you .. BUT there are times when life dictates what we must do. Just so glad to have owned it for the time i did

[@RexCars1]

Well... For the 3 years that I owned it.. They were very cool about it being there.. Burbank CA. Is a very Movie friendly town.. ..I think that is the only reason i was able to get away with " 60 feet of the ugliest tanker you've ever seen " in my driveway at my house...

[@porcupinebob7907]

BAD ASS!!, I have the DVD and I saw it in 1971 at the grand lake theater when it premiered!

[@DaveJP1973]

This is absolutely brilliant, great to know the truck is still alive and well. I absolutely grew up with this film, I still have it on VHS when it was played here in about 1983 - tape still works! First saw it about 1977 as a very young kid and was spellbound. Respect all round.

[@hammondthink7947]

scariest truck in the history of ever!

[@stephaneadam1019]

it is great to keep and share this monumental truck wich is a part of my childhood love it thanks!!

[@Raisen476]

The "Petina" and the sound of the cat engines they used in the trucks are what made the truck so menacing. The old school turbo diesel in that truck put out one of the the best exhaust notes to ever come out of a truck.

[@Odin029]

I had a smile on my face for this entire video

[@4speedBuick]

Love the video, love the truck. I like the Duel truck so much I had to find one. Recently I was lucky enough to find a similar truck. Mine, though, is a 62 351 Pete with a 10x3, the frame is quite a bit longer and it has 4 headlights (which will be changed to the the dual headlights soon). Those early Petes just have a sinister look to them. Fun stuff!

[@I-T-S-M-E]

Can't beat me on the grade

[@sonnithefirst]

the best movie of spielberg ever...

[@michaeleverest7631]

So many great scenes from the movie..... but the scariest is the shot of the truck slowly pulling under the bridge as Mann is helping the school bus.. then the way the lights come on when Mann sees it.. As though the driver has seen him and said yes im here!!!! The lights coming on are like the opening of Draculas eyes!!

[@danielschneider2889]

Love the small mirror on the front of the hood. A couple old timers told me that was so the driver could keep an eye on the volume/color of the exhaust smoke, which would be a sign that the engine was being overlugged/over fueled

[@RexCars1]

Yes Daniel. That was Exactly what the small mirror if for...

[@fmxrider429]

Thank you both for solving that mystery for me. I always figured it was for keeping an eye on the top of the truck, should have figured it would be the stack they were looking at.

[@cultureofcritique9735]

Remember seeing Duel for the first time as a ten year old. Twenty-five years later and it's still the greatest film I have ever seen.

[@RexCars1]

+CultureOfCritique I was also 10 years old when i saw the movie when it aired the first time on tv. Scared the CRAP out of me.. LOL.

[@StacyCarpenterWV]

You were so freaking lucky to have that truck!! I need to get something similar to pick my kids up from school in.

[@dwaynowaite2192]

lol ur so funny

[@kenpalmer1965]

Man, this is neat! I can imagine this would be a terrifying sight to see for anybody who has seen the movie! It looks in fantastic shape. You must have taken real good care of it. Great video! Thanks for putting this together and uploading it here!

[@bradleylomas7525]

I remember all the chatter on the CB in Missouri on I-44 when it was driven to St.Louis. It was cool to stop on the side of the interstate and wave as he drove by.

[@vikingmike8139]

Very cool. I remember as a kid staying up late in 1975[the 9 o'clock movie] and watching 'Duel'. I actually just revisited that movie two weeks ago and enjoyed all the scenery from the valley of California. Great movie, excellent KZbin post.

[@bhipp75]

Excellent production. Grew up being terrified of that truck.

[@shasha-muse6054]

"THAT"..... was insanely creepy!!! Watching and hearing it start up with that infamous black smoke blowing out the diesel stack pipe and moving slowly down the driveway gave me the shivers. Even turning onto the street from the house....this truck exudes pure evil. If I saw this truck on the highway, I'm getting off at the next exit. The drivers of this "beast" have real skills, thats an old peterbilt, the shifting and the backing into the driveway. Not an easy task. I'll bet the neighbors don't get on the truck owners nerves.......would You? Thank you for posting this.😓😓😓

[@punhoss]

Remember when Weavers says "How can he go so fassssssst!?" Awesome job

[@RexCars1]

The wreck was cleaned up and hauled away the day the finished shooting...

[@DrumCoversbyBill]

Wow. So awesome, thank you for sharing. When I saw the truck pulling out of that narrow driveway I thought to myself I would LOVE to see them back that monster up back into that driveway and you delivered! Awesome!

[@RexCars1]

+floridaskater07 .. Thanks ( it did help that i was a truck driver for 16 years before i bought this rig..

[@Cujo_Ate_My_Credit_Card]

Imagine driving on a desert road and seeing this truck in your rear-view mirror.

[@RexCars1]

I heard Speilberg say once in an interview that he approached the Duel movie with a " Hitchcock " feel.. ( I do like the " Bruce Dern " idea though ) That would have been Interesting.... I also thought that the truck would have been great in an " X File eppisode"...

[@noflizone]

Lol! I still luv this movie.....from being a kid to being a truck driver now myself. Thanks for the memories!

[@RexCars1]

The mirror on the hood is to watch the stack... ( back in the day's before Pyrometers.. )

[@newvintage1554]

"Well it's about time Charlie!"

[@suitbertglocke5020]

This is the f...g coolest Truck ever built, ( He has a "real" face ) I like this badass - engine sound Nice Video : )

[@RexCars1]

Thank you very much!

[@RexCars1]

And I can also play " It's a great day for the Irish " on the High Flat Table....

[@sheldonv8]

Brilliant....That music still creeps me out!!

[@amycarey2848]

What a rig.Great to see it never went to the crusher.That movie scared the hellout of me when I was a kid.It stilllooks the same.Well done.

[@Matthewseven13]

I saw that movie in '71 when I was 9 years old. I'm 55 now and that damned truck still gives me the creeps!!!!

[@RexCars1]

Same for me.. I was 10 in 1971.. Scared the HELL out of me

[@RexCars1]

One year. ( when i still owned it. ) I put it at the mouth of my driveway.. And strung some cobwebs on it... Then i sat in the cab and spun the starter when kids would walk by... Gave them a pretty good jump... lol...

[@GreyDancer42]

Duel was the first horror film I ever saw, and is still hands down my favourite. I love getting people to see it for the first time. This vid was a real treat to see, that truck is STILL terrifying. Thank you for sharing!

[@Fred-by9em]

So beautifull truck with the citern all is like the film Duel. I was hopening that David Mann (Dennis Weaver) would be on road! I like Spielberg realisations.Congratulations for this video ! And Greetings from France. Fred

[@fatstercat]

you must have scared the crap out of the older generations who remembered the movie .......awesome simply awesome

[@notmanynamesleft]

Amazing video! ‘I gave you the road why don’t you take it?’ 👍🏻

[@RW4X4X3006]

The coffee can flying off the stack when it starts up..........totally makes the movie!!!!!!! AWESOME!!

[@ChrisHealyTV]

That truck is a great 'head turner'! Thanks for posting this.

[@rustymotor]

Great truck and I always loved that film "Duel". Thanks for the vid. Cheers from down under.

[@RexCars1]

@GeneFrenkle73 Glad you liked the vid.. I was really an honor to own that rig.. Oh by the way ... The guy in the intersection was my neighbor.. So.. He knew it was me behind him...

[@joeschlotthauer840]

I thought I was the only one who thought it was a great movie.

[@RexCars1]

So did I.. ( till i bought the truck ). I was Truly Amazed how many fans of this movie there are )..

[@pentium4person2]

i loved the movie :D

[@freetibet478]

WOW! What an amazing piece of movie history! It should be in a movie museum!

[@RexCars1]

Thank you... And yes.. I do consider myself luck for having owned it... It was quite the experience...

[@Deepbluecat]

How cool is THIS?! I was surprised it started right up and went barreling down the street! The 1971 film was awesome....some of the best cinematography ever! Thanks for uploading this!

[@3DPeter]

great ''remake'' I'm from holland europe, and i remember seeing this movie as a kid with my parents, and i still can remember how we all were jus ta scared as dennis weaver in the movie did. Aslo this remake has some scenes that are just as good as the real movie, so this is a 5 out of 5 for sure! And what a great job to restore and preserve a movie icon like this great truck. i'll bet anyone that it would still scare the hel out of people when you drive behind them on a deserted road.

[@saltydog3714]

One of my favorite trucks of all times!!!!!! Many thanks for posting your production.

[@Glockenator]

If I owned that, I'd be so tempted to recreate the movie every time

[@westonkenyonmusic]

If I had that I would follow people in it.

[@soyounoat]

I felt a chill when the engine started. I saw Duel in the early 1970s when it was a new movie and I was around 12 years old. It was my favorite movie at the time, and that truck scared the hell out of me.

[@VOLKSWAGNUT]

The music still gives me chills....By far one of the meanest looking rigs...Old trucks rule.

[@RexCars1]

@ipdaily6 Thanks.. The Truck has been since been sold and is now owned by Brads Trucks in NC...

[@Lander76]

This truck looks grisly and menacing, it was perfect for the part in the movie. It amazed me how fast it went round the bends in the road when chasing Mann down.

[@RexCars1]

I was amazed by that... Till i bought it.. The tank is really pretty low.. and it really does have a pretty low center of gravity.. and Also.. The movie made the truck look like was going 100mph.. When in reality.. the rig had Very Low Gears.. so.. it could only do about 65 tops..

[@nickjackson6604]

RexCars1 who owns the truck now?

[@MrMrthemonkeyman]

its some kind of souped up diesel

[@clavdig]

Just a great movie. That truck, it's such a bad bastard. I always assume all US trucks are built like monsters!

[@PeterWalkerHP16c]

Pity you couldn't hang on to it. I guess not many people would make the connection to a nearly 50 year old movie but it would shitscare me on a lonely road if I saw it in the mirror. I was only 12 when it came out and it 's burned into my friggen memory forever.

[@kowalski8125]

+Peter Walker You're so right. It scared the shit out of me too!! lol

[@Stinkydo0d]

I would have a heart attack and fanboy if I saw that thing coming up on me.

[@denisebailey512]

I absolutely love/hate this truck! It scares me!

[@olidenizquierdo9714]

I still remember this movie, I have a video cassette yes a video cassette of this movie and I have two vcr, this movie was and still my favorite movie.

[@davidjohn4140]

When that truck went over the cliff in the movie, the driver's door was open. Hmmm, with this rig, how about a duel 2???

[@privatejoker1000]

That is so cool. That bastard turned around and came back!!!

[@Nesmaniac]

Love the movie grew up watching it. I'd love to have this truck. Right now I'm building a electric cardboard model of the truck which will have to duel me for now :)

[@aliciaswofford989]

OMG! If I saw that truck in my rear-view mirror ... let's just say only the dry cleaner would know how scared I was. HAHAHA But it is a fantastic movie.

[@25slim82]

Aw man-disregard my recent post,I thought it didn't go through until I refreshed the browser,then the original post appeared. Thanks for answering my question. Dad taught me how to shift a "brownie" back in the day. Never got to be a gear jammer due to health reasons but still keep in practice with a friends 350 now and then.Need to find the dvd for my collection now!

[@frysco5927]

...And nobody cares about the little red Plymouth...

[@RexCars1]

Don't worry Frysco... The trucks current owner.. Bought a lil red valient for it to chase around .. So.. Not Fogoton.

[@tankingbeast1132]

RexCars1 nice I kinda want a Plymouth now so I can say that this is the car from duel

[@phantomcollector1976]

DUEL IS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FILMS

[@vbdenny]

That is one of the best driving videos I have seen on KZbin. Just an amazing truck and my compliments to the drivers and producers. I very much remember this movie. This goes into my favorites.

[@georgetjn]

That must have been amazing owning that truck. I think that if I saw it in my mirror I'd have a heart attack, it still looks so MEAN !!! Nice to see that your neighbours left you enough room to get out and in your driveway :)

[@sm350bl]

This has really made my day! I'm so glad there is a movie truck still around with its tanker! pure awesomness. Merry christmas!

[@Ween745]

That truck is so cool! I love it.It needs to hook up with the car from Christine.

[@microblah]

I reckon from 0:20 to 0:30, is freakier than any scene from the actual movie. You're one lucky guy for having owned that thing.

[@olvinyldude]

LOL....That is AWEsum !!! Had anyone noticed the "Rain Cap" take off, on start-up??? That gives the perfect touch...compression, gotta luv-it...Thanx, for this ! ! !

[@aaronking7326]

Still...that music in the background...makes it terrifying

[@RexCars1]

Thank you .. Took me a while to find the music.. I thought it really helped

[@paulfoster4420]

I would love to own this truck. it was one of the best films made

[@norwichcornerschristianchu2235]

WOW thats awesome!! I remember the first time i saw this movie, it scared the crap out of me, thanks for posting

[@RexCars1]

I saw it in 1971 when it was first aired on TV.. and yes.. it also scared THE CRAP out of me .. lol

[@jean-micheldumay3409]

Probably the most terrific truck ever designed...without any voluntee of that I presume. This long nose type of cabin terminated by this gigantic flat radiator is a piece for a Terminator episode...and don't forget the shape of the tank badly rusted, higly worrisome.

[@fractaljack]

Very well done montage! Pulling up behind that Ranchero and letting it blast must have been priceless! All of the surrounding drivers had to have a "wardrobe change" for sure... Like the others said, I'd give anything to see it in action again.

[@RexCars1]

@edcardinal I was able to own the rig for about 3 years.... Yea..I saw the movie when it first came out.. ( I ran all the way home after because i was sure was going to come and get me ) lol... I got the rig from Jack Knife King George Sack. I just can't put into words how cool it was to own it.. Thanks...
