I read  a while back somewhere the guy that actually drove the truck in the  movie movie bought it a while back he has got to be ancient. I was only 13 when it came out … Bob

I traced the owners of that truck a while back. Found a few owners. But I never found where Carey Loftin ever owned it. But, records aren’t all that good from that time. Anything is possible. 
Carey Loftin was maybe the best stunt driver ever.

Just bumping this thread.  Brad's truck show this weekend.  Weather forecast looking great right now.

Exit 33 off of US 321 between Hickory and Gastonia, NC.

Sounds like Joey, Dean, Brocky, and I will be there at least.

We had a nice time, and got to visit with a bunch of BMT folk's..  I didnt take many pictures, but here they are..  

[Joey Mack]

I forgot these 2 pictures...  I posted them in another thread too..  I really enjoy meeting BMT family members..  Jojo

THANK YOU  for all the pictures Jojo. it's a total disappointment to me not making the trip. for someone who rarely gets sick , this time around It has whipped my ass. possible the covid crap. wife sick again and as usual it's my fault. she is on her way to walk in clinic. making the trip to NC would have been a win-win for me. see the show/ meet the BMT crew then go to Raliegh to spend time with my sister.  possibly another time.

That's a good show, I've been a few times. They used to have it in July but since they changed it to September I've been going to the Winchester, Va. show instead. 

Maybe I should try it again, the last 2 years there just hasn't been many trucks in Winchester. 

[other dog]

Oh, and nice pictures, thank you!
