[Music] [Applause] [Music] do the word was they tried to use a crawl depleted too but it was creating a glare with the in the camera it was interfering with the filming so they scuffed it off and just painted it and outlined the you know the some of the features on it in the end of the paint marker and put a little mohawk on it for an attitude you know and that's how it you know that's the look that it head in the movie so you ready to repaint it fades out you know just like we use like model car painter you know I've only had it for three years okay started trying to buy it and he's a 2011 or 12 I think before you and then it was like jew-jew January of a January 2015 when he contacted me and said that he was selling it's a 1970 r7 if you just several scenes in the movie when you see the old blue Chevelle gear and off the road this truck they're blowing through the scale and he gets like a police car or DLT type car can crack it into is that truck you'll see that truck and trailer used in the jailhouse seen the trailers was also in the dam would you see on that path on the passenger side there was done the jailhouse in the trailer you can check the trailer out that's really good though you can build a replica truck that you'll never build a river trailer cutting that trailer was one of 20 it was built company thinking they were in Washington State with a 1960 model trail mobile was a 5800 gallon trailer and in movie you know according to the you know he's manifested the movie says he had 10,000 gallon the product but in reality is only a trailer was modified yeah blow it up in there on the bridge and the truck just starts to go across the bridge the two debuts run out they start shooting at the back of the trailer you see big fireball as well the story of the truck and trailer if if you watched convoy there was a cap over kin we're pulling a billy dump trailer that followed right behind the river duck truck and part of the convoy okay and he said Bruce Enterprises on the door a breeding truck and Fred Bruce bought this truck and all really basically all they scrapped after the movie was over all the damaged vehicles in the car whatever he was actual company owner Chuck on truck owner he'd furnished several of the trucks okay they were in the convoy some of them had his name some had fictional names some of them had flatbed trailers we odd you know movie prop loads on yeah there was a white broccoli that turned over okay that was a brand-new truck he bought that truck Wow okay that truck well that accidents in here electric was really correct they didn't mean for it to happen it was that the other trucks had like this trailers just a whole you know it has no no wait no nothing to it and most of the other trailers did also but that particular truck had a load of beans wooden beams on it and it was heavy until they tried to turn Lord so he bought a lot of this Dan Bruno you know found out who got some information about the stuff and went out to New Mexico and he's from st. Louis and he goes out to New Mexico and finds the people and talks to him and they have the salvage from this where this truck was wrecked so he went to buy it not knowing that they also had a trailer and I have somewhere I have some pictures but the trailer was just like sitting back in a abandoned but no wheels and tires are sitting he told him he needed that trailer you know the truck made it and I think the guy who created died back in the late eighties the children his children did I guess I didn't know or didn't understand the training went with the truck okay and they said oh you don't want that thing is just junk it's just don't even hold water so he actually the truck in Indesit I guess is the transportation [Music]

Love that movie, they filmed a good part of it in my home town in New Mexico. I was too young about 1 year old when they were filming. I only discovered the movie about 10 years ago and asked my parents if they remembered them filming it in our town. They said yes.
