67-72 Trucks on film - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jmac05 · 08-28-2002, 09:58 AM

Anyone know what movies, tv shows, or music videos our trucks make a cameo in? I know that The movie Dazed and confused is supposed to have one. I just saw Sheryl Crow's Soak up the sun video, and there is a blazer about 10 seconds in, and also the Longest yard w/ Burt Reynolds. Anything else?

brennecke · 08-28-2002, 10:15 AM

There is one in XXX. It is just a cab. Anybody else see it? Look for it when they are in Columbia.
I seem to see them everywhere. Look for the origional Gone In Sixty Seconds. They're everywhere, and they're new. Plus its a cool show.

Longhorn Man · 08-28-2002, 05:15 PM

There's 2 of them in the new gone in 60 seconds, of course ground hog day....
This comes up every 2 months or so

Yeah, Dazed and Confused is probably the one movie I've seen that has a LOT of screen time for a 67-72 truck. Great movie.

Hooter · 08-28-2002, 06:25 PM

I have seen a couple on made for tv movies. JIm varney drove around in a white 71 in his Ernst movies. (RIP Jim)

PrimeredThunder · 08-29-2002, 03:57 AM

The movie Bandits has a Blue Burb that gets quite a bit of screen time.

Also, Stephen King's "The Stand". If I remeber correctly, it's a 67 LWB. I have the movie so maybe I better watch it again to be sure what year it is.

Lone Wolf McQuade

A texas ranger show, flipin channels and seen it don't know how much they show it before they blew it up. (sad)

*racedvl* · 09-02-2002, 09:44 AM

Stephen King's movie, thinner. There is a blue 69-70 suburban at the begining that the gypsies are driving.

*Gee_Emm* · 09-02-2002, 10:17 AM

Did anyone watch that Oblivious show yesterday, at the end in the background there was a white 69 or 70 with its hood up, looked like it was at a car show or something????

Vince M · 09-02-2002, 02:15 PM

Dragonfly... with Kevin Costner

There's a 69 or 70 with a flat bed on it ...down in Venezuela.

muscletruck · 09-02-2002, 02:20 PM

there was a 70 or 71 on on V.I.P. with PAm Anderson......it was actually a big part of the story...it was the "bad guys" truck.....she(pam) called it a white trash mobile...i got pissed.....it was in a chase scene with a VIPER and everything...sadly it was ran off a cliff and it BLODE UP!!!.....

BigGreenMachine · 09-02-2002, 02:53 PM

Okay, I'm going to catch grief over knowing this, but there's a '69 or '70 LWB in Air Bud (the basketball one). When you have a five year old, these movies come with the territory.

It's definately not a BB, but it has dual exaust. It smokes very badly, and the funny thing is, if you watch closely, it smokes out of the driver's pipe in some scenes, and the passenger side in others. Anyway, they trash it near the end, and drive it into a lake.

I always wonder how many they tore up filming it.

70shortnphat · 09-02-2002, 04:12 PM

The sherrif in pumpkin Head part 2 drives a 70 blazer.And theres a 68 in sugarland express.

Southpa · 09-03-2002, 04:48 PM

I watched Hoffa last night with Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito.
Jimmy Hoffa (president of Teamsters Union - Detroit Michigan) was sentenced to 13 yrs. for jury tampering, pension fund fraud and conspiracy along with his crony Bob ? in 1967. They were both carted off to jail in a 67 Chevy panel with wire screen covering the windows.
