umodelnut Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 This was on a movie called My Bodyguard. I have never seen it. Well this is a single axle U model. You know how my U model was owned by Flexi Van Truck Rental new? Well if you look at the fender on this U, that little sticker thing is the Flexi Van logo!!! What a coinsidence.

I love when they put the guy in the booth on the back of the B model and throw him off the bridge into the water.

57 bcr Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Vinny, I was wrong about thinking that was a Garrett truck It is an I M L (Interstate Motor Lines) truck.I'll have to do some diggin' around to see if they had a terminal in Chicago.That is definetly a I.C.C. sticker on the door.

Andy Wright Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Noticed a B-model in National Lampoon's Vacation the other day. Just as Chevy Chase gets out of the desert he walks passed a short row of derelict trucks. There's also a glimpse of a B reversing in the background at the start of Rocky. A B-model also masquerade's as a WW2 German truck (!) pulling a barge on a trailer in The Battle Of Britain. Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.

umodelnut Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Ya I know its not my truck because the one in the picture was a single axle tractor. Thanks for letting me know what company of that truck Al. I love National Lampoons!! Whenever I watch it with my Papa we start crying because he laughs so hard.
