vision386 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Not really truck related,but i thought it was sad we lost an american icon in James Arness AKA Matt Dillon,spent many a saturday night watching Gunsmoke with my grandad. He loved this show! not many of the old time tv cowboys left anymore,which (in my opinion) is a real shame,look at the crap thats on tv now! no wonder kids don't have anyone to look up to! Matt always did the right thing,only shot the guy if he had it coming! i miss these days!...........Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Superdog Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Since we're on the topic of old western actors,does anyone remember when Mack hired Dale Robertson as the "Mack Marshall" in their "All Star Used Truck Corral" ad campaign in the '80's.
