Convoy |
|
Convoy starred Kris Kristofferson, a Mack
and a song. A truck drivin' story
where a
mile-long convoy of protesting truckers speed along the Arizona highway
toward the Mexican border. The action builds to a spectacular finale with one of the most destructive auto crash scenes ever filmed.
This film launched the CB craze in the 80s and was ultimately responsible
for forests of high powered rooftop aerials. Do you speak CB? Check the language link in we

The truck used in the 1978 movie was a Mack RD model with all black steel
wheels, tanks and a single stack - AKA ''a big black Mack with a can on
the back." Check out our Mack trucker hats. |

Duel |
|
On a deserted stretch of California highway, David Mann, a businessman
settles into his car. Ahead of him on the road is a slow-moving diesel
truck, which he innocently decides to pass. So begins the long duel
between David and the Goliath-like rig in a nerve-wracking movie,
directed by Steven Spielberg. The truck tries to push the car onto a train track, run
the driver down in a phone booth, engage him in a high-speed chase, and
tailgate him into oblivion. The
driver is never seen, except one shot of his beefy arm waving the car
ahead into oncoming traffic. Instead, Spielberg uses the monstrous Peterbilt truck itself, much like the way he used the shark in JAWS, to
harass and taunt.

The undisputed star in Duel is the biggest, baddest, meanest,
filthiest, Peterbilt tractor dragging an oil tanker trailer with enough
room under the hood to stuff a bad-boy 600-horse Detroit Diesel
turbocharged, 2-stroker, mountain-climber.
