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
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!!!

Yeah. Drop the clutch and roll back, THEN work on the battery cables. He must've not known that track was active and assumed it was a dead line. Easy for me to say, but I wasn't there. ![]() ![]()

No, he knew it was active. It's obviously an in use track just by looking at it. But any local would know and I am sure that fool is a local. He was looking for his buddies.

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... ![]()

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

There was "The dark wind" from 1991. Allegedly this truck was in it.

Re: movie trucks
That is a cool '67 Fleetside.
It's clear to me the truck has a fake ''movie'' plate on the front. It's a car plate: ABC 123. In Cali in that period, all light duty pickups were required to have a commercial license plate [10 566 A] unless they had a camper top or cap on the bed. Also movie plates were a very saturated blue shade to show up better under photographic lighting. They are obvious to the naked eye on the street. But you'll never notice it in a chase scene clip. ![]()

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
I like the new color better. Also that you kept the big mirrors.

Last summer I did some "extra" work for a movie with both of my 68's. On some of the cars they stuck those fake plates on them. Kinda comical because they really stood out in person next to cars with original plates.

Re: movie trucks
I know Hallmark has used a few trucks in various movies.
"Return to Christmas Creek" had this truck ![]() There was a new one from this year where they were in a blue/white 69-72 GMC, never got a good shot of the nose.

I was gripping on ''Goats'' a David Duchovny project in 2010, and the DP shot an ECU of the chrome grille of my '71 Jimmy -- panning off right, to focus on the hero car, as they pull up to a ''Mexican cathouse.'' It was shot in Downtown Tucson.
