My wife and I were watching an episode of Colombo the other night - the one where the guy trains his dogs to attack - and there's an orange Blazer that's seen in several shots.

I found a picture

**special-K** · 04-07-2022, 01:47 PM

DOH! I guess I was helping you out?? I meant to hit "quote" but must have hit "edit". There's your picture

Let's see what else I found

Better Call Saul

You messed with my mind for just a minute. I was thinking, "I don't remember posting that..."

Find the movie "NIAGRA MOTEL" with Craig Furgusson. my 71 truck is in it...a fair bit too.

**special-K** · 04-07-2022, 07:18 PM

I tried a search but didn't come up with any pictures. I guess I'd have to watch the movie. That's cool your truck was used for the movie. Or did you just happen to be at the hotel a lot?

My truck was used in niagra motel by the previous owner about 2 years before i bought it and sort of restored it. here are some pics in the movie. when i bought the truck it looked exactly like it did in the movie. rough!!

CSTGURU · 04-07-2022, 10:19 PM

This is what it looks like now (yes i changed to a 69 frontend look, but its the same 71 from the movie) the hood, boxside, and cab white are still original paint, note the dent at the rear of the box.

**special-K** · 04-08-2022, 11:28 AM

You have it looking great! Too good for that movie now

This shot is from French Connection. I don't think it got trashed

**special-K** · 04-08-2022, 11:08 PM

Whoops! I need to be more careful with my extra button. Must have been mighty strange to see what "you" did

Luke in the Gilmore Gils TV Show showed this truck on and off over the run of the show.

**special-K** · 04-13-2022, 11:38 AM

That's the best one yet. Thanks for sharing, Greg

Howard The Duck?

I'm not making these up!

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 01-15-2023, 11:18 PM

Sorry if posted already, check out the 72 in the movie Troll. Its "the queen,s favorite".

Here's a video, though it misses the coolest part where it's in a garage. Neat how the tailgate shuts all by itself

Chevrolet C20 Truck 1972 - (Troll 2022)...

**Rods** · 01-15-2023, 11:30 PM

My truck on “Better Call Saul” before it was mine

Third pic was after I did a little work to it…..

That's a good one! If that dark blue is original it's a '69. Grille looks like it, but the chrome on fins may be faded off. Can't quite tell if the hubs are the early or later Spicers

Here is another Suburban for you, K2500! Lone Wolf McQuade

Here's a shot of a GMC Suburban from the 1978 movie "Big Wednesday" that looks real similar to the one used 5 years later in "Lone Wolf McQuade"...same vehicle???

I would guess so. How many '72 GMC Subs in White/Bue/White were around in Southern Cal then? Must mean the same Transport Captain or Picture Car Coordinator worked both shoots. Or the Suburban owner worked both films, or knew somebody on Production both times.

I wonder if the Blue/White Sub got a Black-and-White Cop paintjob for the Navajo Rez series?
So it's the same rig in all 3 shots...

Yeah. How many '72 GMC K/2500 ''Jimmy XLs'' are still running in Hollywood?

And 4wd at that

New TV series coming out "starring" a '72 GMC Suburban 4x4 as the Tribal Police Patrol Vehicle. The interior shot even shows a glimpse of the intact original headliner with bows! *Disclaimer* I am not an expert in identifying exact years of '67 to '72 trucks (especially GMC), but I could see it had a "glue-on" rearview mirror...so? Also...I'm not affiliated with this show, but I might give it a watch just because of the Suburban!!!
