the movie beautiful girls i saw last night the dude was driving a 69 or 70 swb 4*4 with a plow on it looked kinda cool

dubie · 03-11-2003, 11:14 AM

Yeah I watched that show when it first came out. His plow truck is pretty sweet

lpaine · 03-11-2003, 01:05 PM

Yeah I remember that one, there was also a 71 or72 in the movie 'in the bedroom' it's been out on video for a while now. Not a bad movie, can't remember who was in it, I guess I was more concerned about seeing the truck than anything.

Yes i have seen a few around here, but you really have to be looking for them.

If you look even closer, you will see that the truck that Matt Dillon drives in "Beautiful Girls" is a Blazer with a half top.

Sounds like a good movie :p

In the movie Sweet Home Alabama (chick flick), Reese Witherspoon's husband drives a later GMC 4x4. It has the black rings around the grille, I think.

Anyone seen or remember the little known 80's movie "Catch me if you can", about a high school kid who drag races a black '68 Chevelle and then in the end he gets a sweet '57 Chevy to race the "Twin City run, twenty miles in twenty minutes". In one race w/ his Chevelle, he beats a yellow SWB '72. Haven't seen that movie in a while. Maybe I'll pop it in tonight.

montgomery gentrys new country video speed has a 69/70 in it

z71runner · 03-11-2003, 08:42 PM

As long as we are on the topic of old trucks in movies...... There are a pair of old chevy trucks in the movie Dazed and Confused... one 67-72 and one 73-87.

powder · 03-11-2003, 08:46 PM

yeah dazed and confused was a kick ass movie

67cst · 03-11-2003, 08:47 PM

z71runner--> dazed and confused also has a couple pre 67 trucks..awesome show....

Suicide-D · 03-11-2003, 09:19 PM

in XXX right after the columbian drug lord test and Vin is walking with Sam Jackson there is a 67-72 cab all burned up looking.

What about the Auto Zone commercial, you get a glimse of a guy changing oil on a 71 72 truck..

Seke69 · 03-12-2003, 05:01 AM

Beautiful Girls... Natalie Portman... grrrowrrr. I concur, that is one sweet plow truck.

ZOOMY · 03-12-2003, 05:19 AM

The dude in sweet home alabama is driving a 72 gmc 4x4. A little beat up but cool. the shift lever is in the park posotion while they're shooting the scene where the 2 dudes are riding in the pickup when it's moving down the road. Hollywood screwup. I didn't consider it a 100 % chick-flick because the guy flies airplanes, drinks beer, drives an old chevy & wises off to his old lady who tries to be a goody 2 shoes........Zoomy

lpaine · 03-12-2003, 12:21 PM

I remembered another movie with a 67-72 truck; "GroundHog Day"Bill Murray plays a weatherman stuck in a kind of time warp, he attempts to kill himself by driving the truck off a cliff, such a waste of a truck, it was funny but sad. Good movie, very funny.
