j hancock Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Well, isn't that always the deal. It will be worth diddly squat as it continues rotting into the ground. Is it over at White and Bradstreet? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

tenfive0 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) How did it make its way to a junkyard if it's worth so much to be sitting in a junkyard? Just saying? Just because it says what it says doesn't mean it's what it says it is. I'm just saying.

Value of the truck is the for me the Big Cam, the Eaton RTOO-14619 trans. and plaque ,the truck is now just a worn out logger unit no movie star.. Truck movie trailer.

DailyDiesel Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Interesting that a truck was built for the movie instead of just sourcing any existing rig for an afternoon of shooting.

j hancock Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 When the Ford Louisville roamed the highways, Whited Ford sold a TON of them. I was up in Bangor quite often in the early 90's and the Whited shop was going non stop with new truck upfitting and rebuild work. Pulp was going good and everybody was super busy. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Seems now every dump truck and Dump trailer combo is either a Mack or International all I see for OTR is Petes Volvo and an occasional K.W. although Shaws wanted to get some Anthems but the lead time was too long to they bought Navistars.

My teen-y sister took my brothers girlfriend to go see it. On the way home something “big and black” was running across the field at them, up onto the road, at the car, and wiped out the side with its head. They were screaming and crying when they got home. Bear hair, blood and manure on the side of the car. Priceless. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54538-pete-movie-truck-in-junkyard/#findComment-408631 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mack Technician Posted October 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Not as cool, but I'm going to throw it out...….. Was going up the north corridor to the Apostle Islands and spotted this thing out in a field. Turned around and went back cause I recognized it from another unit that was at my neighbors house back home. The one my neighbor had was an original movie prop from the movie "Giant Spider Invasion". His still had the stripped Volkswagen car chassis attached. I saw a guy outside the house nearby and said "Hi, is that your structure out in the field, that domed thing" Guy "No, it's my neighbors, guess it was a movie prop?" Me "yeah, it's from Giant Spider Invasion" Guy "Ok, probably, He says he produced a few movies years back" Ended up talking for a while. It was Bill Rebane, the movie producer from Latvia. Neighbor told of Lauren Bacall coming to stay in the house he now lives in, but other than that nothing spectacular. Rebane made a movie down in my area that become notable because of rate of return. He spent $300,000 to make the movie and it brought a couple million in box office return and $23 million total gross. The math is 76 times payout for investment....blows most of todays margins out of the water. The movie is pretty cheesy, but good if you like a "B" movie on Halloween. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Rebane Edited October 31, 2018 by Mack Technician 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54538-pete-movie-truck-in-junkyard/#findComment-408710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Technician Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Who would pay $$$$ for a truck that was rolled over onto a 4 year old who became a reanimated, murderous, mini-zombie...… unless it was a Mack Superliner. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54538-pete-movie-truck-in-junkyard/#findComment-421355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) 35 years ago a friend was getting into paving and was looking for used equipment to save a little money. i knew one of the local contractors was selling a roller and a few trucks, so i took Al to see him. when he said 10 grand for the 1958 Galion 6 ton rollomatic roller, i knew he was having a bad day and said see ya later. he was normally a nice guy, but for some reason he would not sell that damn roller. for about 5 years whenever we asked about it he said "10 grand. take it or leave it. i got it , you want it. pay my price or get out" in 1990 he died, and later that year they held an auction. we bought that roller, a 1980 F350, 1989 eager beaver 10 ton tag along trailer and a 1980 Autocar tandem dump for $4,500. at the end of the auction when we were paying, his daughter came up to us and told us she was glad we got the roller and trucks, because if we did not buy them they most likely would have gone to the scrap yard. we later found out the F350 and dump trucks both had brand new engines in them. the 350 blew the engine due to lack of oil and only had 500 miles on the engine, truck only had 22,000 miles on it. autocar had a brand new 390 cummins in it. the truck was hit the year before and the car cracked the block when it hit the front axle. new front axle and engine, then it was never put back on the road, but used to empty the asphalt plant. 125 miles on the engine, and 94,000 miles on the truck all were still in use when Al died from a heart attack last year.
