h67st Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 We watched High Ballin last night (it's on Tubi right now). Not a real good movie but lots of old trucks so that part was fun. I'd like to know what motor was in the Iron Duke KW, it had a different sound (maybe just an unusual exhaust system). Of course, lots of Jerry Reed music so that part was great. It was filmed in Canada so lots of spread tandems and snow...one mistake is that they would show one scene with lots of snow on the ground, then in the next it was sunny and green. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74617-high-ballin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Hell I never even , heard of that I’ll have to put it on my list and yes, who doesn’t like Jerry Reed speaking of snow one of my favorite old TV shows the naked city crime story filled in the early 60s New York City and it’s always snowing which is kind of interesting usually when they film around New York it’s always a beautiful day and it’s not always like that there 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74617-high-ballin/#findComment-559695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rubber Duck 006 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Love that movie!! It's on the list of the best trucking Movies of back then. awesome Story line and actors for a low budget film. Fun Movie fact: Peter Fonda played the character Rain. In the scene Rain pulls into the truckstop on his motorcycle his helmet is actually a helmet from the movie Star Wars!!. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74617-high-ballin/#findComment-559740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I watched the movie way back in the middle 80s. It was brand new then nobody seems to remember it. It wasn’t a trucking movie, but there was an LT Mack in it all restored and the guy had three side bulldogs across the hood. They were standing there talking in front of it, and one of the scenes 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74617-high-ballin/#findComment-559763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I saw this at the movies when it came out. I always remember the scene when Helen Shavers(Pickup) stood up and pulled her panties up. Quite a site for a young, impressionable boy!! I have the paperback book(also Convoy) as I like to read it over and over playing the scenes in my head from the movie. Way before VHS, I would record Movin On with my tape recorder so I could replay it again. Never realizing what we would be holding in our hands today(smartphone).
