Barry Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 So, who has a Convoy Rubber Duck Truck and would be willing to come to our show in New Alexandria, PA 15670 on August 25th, 2018? We would love to have the Rubber Duck headline the show this year in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Convoy! PM me or call 1-888-304-6225! Thanks!

Terry T Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 It would be nice if someone could track down Dan Bruno to see if he would allow a site, such as BMT, to have all of his info about the truck(s) and movie posted again.

Amos V. Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I would love to see that truck up here. Better yet it would be AWESOME for Jeff to bring his original unit from the movie in it's current state and pair them together again..

j hancock Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This tribute Convoy Mack is in PA. Saw it last year at the Mack Museum. Also a link where the previous owner was selling it on BMT. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33740-rubber-duck-replica-truck-for-sale/ 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Freightrain Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not sure, I've heard rumors but can't say what really happened to Dan. I know he sold the trucks off a few years back.

fullfuel01 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I bought the original truck that was made new for the movie from Dan. We have been able to put our hand on the RS700L Glider Kit used in the movie too but not from Dan. I don't think I can make it to the show, work go before hobby here...

Jamaican Bulldog Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Did the truck in the movie have a Cummins or Mack engine? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53551-rubber-duck-truck/#findComment-400505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post j hancock Posted June 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2018 I lifted this quote from Dan Bruno "ConvoyDuel" in 2008 who owned the Duck. This primary truck was a 1977 Mack RS712LST, VIN 35492. Although the RS786LST and the RS712LST's were identical, the RS712's had California certification on the ETAZ673 tip turbine engines. This truck was custom-built for EMI Films, but ownership was retained by Mack Trucks. After filming, the truck was shipped back to the Hayward California factory and rebuilt due to extensive damage from crashes and bullets. It was rebuilt and sold to a gentleman in Los Angeles where the truck spent its life as a transfer dump. There were 3 other RS700L's used - a 1973 (VIN 13182) that was gutted and used as a pull-along prop for on-highway dialogue scenes and two identical 1970's. One of the 1970's was gutted and used to send off the bridge (VIN 6648) and the other (VIN 6646) was the second unit on-highway double that wound up being converted into a cement mixer. It was wrecked in 1986, bought and rebuilt in 2007 and remarried to the surviving original trailer in 2008. We have the entire original paperwork trail from the studio on these vehicles that we acquired when we purchased the truck and trailer in 2007. https://www.imcdb.org/v009813.html 3 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

j hancock Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Later updated by Dan Bruno in 2010. Just an update....We now also own this original 1st Unit Mack RS712LST, VIN RS712LST35492 in addition to the 2nd unit RS731LST truck. We've removed the dump body and will be working to restore the truck over time. https://www.imcdb.org/v009813.html 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
