I completely avoided the list! I liked the beautiful green (crap, it was actually red! My brain is soft! It was still a nice truck!) chevy Bill Murray crashed after he stole the groundhog in Groundhog Day, I remember being really pissed when I saw it go over the edge and pancake in the bottom of the quarry! I hope they didn't really crash the cherry truck he was driving around, I hope they used a thrashed stunt double for the one that crashed!

according to the p.o. my c/10 was used in a scene in the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man it must be a deleted scene cuz i studied the movie frame by frame no c/10 in there anywhere ive got the paperwork that proves they used it the production company paid him like 200 bucks to drive it 2 blocks and park it ill get the paperwork out and post it sometime

I always wondered if any Chevy/GMC lovers are allowed to take all the removable parts like glove box doors, ashtrays, instrument panels, etc before they ruin those trucks in the movies? If I worked for a movie studio I would push the director to use old Fords in scenes where the truck is to be crashed! Not only would it save a lot of GMs, it would get those old Fords out of our way!

if you are gonna bash a truck, do it to a toyota or what not. i'm a chevy guy when it comes to trucks but some of those 50's Ford are really beautiful and even the later generations worked every bit as hard as our chevys to get where they are. but i do hear you on the wrecking of our beloved 67-72 gm trucks and any other nice condition vintage car/truck that didn't deserve the end it got.

as a side note, i generally get thumbs up from the Harley crowd when i'm out on my 72 cb350 twin.

My truck was used in a few different X-files tv show episodes before I bought it from the movie studio in California. I guess is was used in a lot of tv shows and a early Chevrolet Commercial. My truck used to look a lot different then. Here is a early pick and a now.

Well said! You are right. lets get them to run the Toyotas and Nissans over the edge, they are ment to be disposable and recycleable anyway, there would be no loss that way!

looking at the pix in the mega post it looks from the depth of the quary and the orientation of the truck on explosion that it may be a different truck that was destroyed. Maybe it is possible that they air bag landed the truck, and then blew up another with white spoke wheels? Seems like a lot of work for an at the time cheap truck for a high budget (Bill Murray)movie though.

No pictures to show, but the TV show Rosanne had a '71 or '72 C-10. One episode, Dan was repairing it with a friend. IIRC, it was in the opening credits also.

sweetnlow67 · 10-30-2010, 08:46 PM

BearFlagRepublic · 10-30-2010, 08:47 PM
