Popular Post vision386 Posted January 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2014 I too used to look forward to the exploits of Will & Sonny every Tuesday! My Dad used to laugh at the fact their truck seemed to always be one step from being repossed,Dad would say "If they'd just take a break from solving crimes,fighting,goofing-off,racing etc. and HAUL SOME FRIEGHT! they'd prolly be able to make a payment or two ontime" Lol! different world back then for sure! Prolly not the most realistic show ever made,but there were some nice trucks! and it showed Truckdrivers as "the good guys".........................Mark 5 Quote Mack Truck literate.

41chevy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Movin on, Cannon Ball and Red Ball Express. Never cared to much for BJ and the Bear. Liked the truck, Stacks and the Monkey though. All the movies even the one with the possessed rigs. Liked Pig Pen because of the Cracker Box!

Chuck P Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I loved Movin' On as a kid. It may have been one of the first VITs when the show came out and was made just prior to the "gullwing" bumper.Claude Akins had some success later on as Sherriff Lobo.

And look just fine doing it!I miss those guys from way back when...I am with you DCW. I have not watched professional sports for at least 10 years. Most are criminals, drug users, physical abusers, and the list continues. If you or I acted like most sports players, we would be out of a job or in jail.Back in the day, the majority of sports players were professional and for the most part looked, acted, and dressed like professionals off the field.Sorry for the mini-rant and off topic post....move along, nothing to see 4 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was out midwest somewhere(before Paul bought it). I wanted it real bad!I do have the Galoob r/c Movin On truck. Got it for xmas way back when.

39 Baby Mack Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Used to always crack me up when they'd drop their trailer, trailer stayed perfectly still, never shook, dropped lower or anything!Must have been one helluva set of landing gear!I remember one episode in particular, don't remember the details of the plot, but someone sabotaged their tractor by breaking some of the fins off the compressor wheelin the turbo.Couldn't keep these guys down, Will and Sonny welded them back on!Amazing what they can do in Hollywood!Anybody else remember this episode?Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
