Re: movie trucks
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

Re: movie trucks
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?

Re: movie trucks
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.

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

Re: movie trucks
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 ![]()

Re: movie trucks
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

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

Re: movie trucks
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!!!
