E9V8 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Never saw the movie, but I might have to look for it now.Sounds like V8 Detroit power...... but you can't always trust Hollywood.

Green Dash Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I actually thought the DM would've survived that. At least the '65 Biscayne, Bel Air, Impala didn't receive a scratch.They could've left the Jimi Hendrix soundtrack on there. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23917-dm-800-tractor-in-the-movies/#findComment-108291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joes mack Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 that truck was totaled before the movie people bought it. i know the guy that they bought it from it used to be a tandem with a 21foot coal bed when it was wrecked the first time. they put another junk cab he had on it and welded the frame up. the movie people put alot of money in it to just destroy it but like i said before it had been tatoled before the movie folks got it. i dont know where they got the trailer though.

Green Dash Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've been a fan of most 60's and 70's music for as long as it's existed.I feel I was cheated by the music world because of the crap that made it to the airwaves when I was between the ages of 18 and 28.Lionel Ritchie was king of the Grammy's back then. It was disgusting. Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23917-dm-800-tractor-in-the-movies/#findComment-108337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure that isn't a Detroit falling through the air over the cliff, so they probably just used the sound from an 8v71 or 92, like in Convoy. This movie looks alot like Duel for sure. I'd like to get it on DVD and watch it sometime. Convoy is by far my favorite movie hands-down.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23917-dm-800-tractor-in-the-movies/#findComment-108350 Share on other sites More sharing options...

E9V8 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm pretty sure that isn't a Detroit falling through the air over the cliff I viewed it full-screen / frame-by-frame and it's definitely a Mack 6 cylinder. Not sure exactly what Mack 6 cylinder though...... almost looks like a "237" to me.
