This is one of my favorite movies. Love it. Watched it many times never tire of it. Haved turned many people to watching it and they have all enjoyed it. The way it is shot is incredible and the truck is a character itself ❤

[@jerrybailey5797]

Fantastic movie, a great adrenaline rush 👍

[@RexCars1]

A couple of quick FYI's ( i can say this because i use to own The Surviving Truck from this movie ).. The Hero Truck in this movie was a 1957 Peterbilt 281.. The back up truck .. Was a 1960 Peterbilt.. ( also a 281 ).. The Third truck .. Which was used in the extended parts of the movie was a 64 ( or later ) 351.. Other than it was shot in " 13 " days..... You really got it right... Nice overview...

[@professionalredneck7920]

I'm pretty sure it was actually a 1955 not a 57, but the rest is good. The third was a 65 I believe.

[@RexCars1]

​@@professionalredneck7920 I can tell you BEYOND Any Doubt.. The Hero Truck ?? Was a 57.....

[@professionalredneck7920]

@RexCars1 I can tell you BEYOND any doubt, I don't care that much. Every source says something different. Multiple sources say 55, some say 57, so...?

My favorite is Duel but I also like Steel Cowboy with James Brolin

[@vladyvhv9579]

Though a few trivial bits and pieces are dated, the movie as a whole still stands up well. Also, the old couple in the car are the also the same actors from Close Encounters.

[@claytonmadox]

Great movie! I love it and so few people have seen it and even fewer these days have the ability to appricate it.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

one of the top 5 old fashion car chase movies with NO CGI just brute force and real stuntmen just Raw gasoline and diesel fuel FUMES driving the Peterhood 351 was not an easy task BTW they were 3 Peterbilt AKA Peter Hood truck used in the movie and one did survive in the movie and a private collector owns the truck

[@nate7393]

Nah that was a 1955 Peterbilt 281 with a tag axle. Though the two other spare trucks were a 60s 351 daycabs

[@MercyKJohn-tt4bj]

Unbelievable making on 70s

おはようございます。さっきドライブインの喧嘩シーンでも書いたのですが。ブルーカラーVSホワイトカラーの階級闘争の縮図にもなっているからではありませんか。Go for it.

Because it is.

[@stenalbertsen2440]

The truck is a 281 not a 251 sorry. 😊

[@examiningdata7952]

Road warrior. 1984. tanker & bus

[@howieduin915]

To answer the question in the thumbnail. It's iconic because it's a great looking truck. Those old Petes were beautiful. And they uglied it up to make it as scary as possible. The nasty old tanker that it's pulling adds a lot. Great production, perfect setting, unending suspense. The worst part about it was the casting and the car. How about Barbara Eden driving VW bug?

[@butrviicu7trr539]

It was an Autocar a 63 autocar

[@howieduin915]

@@butrviicu7trr539 Sorry to disagree, but that's a 60-61 Peterbilt. I'm an old guy, and know old trucks. Autocar designs were pretty similar though.
