jschultz Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 FOLLOW THAT BIRD - Could not tell exactly what year the truck is because the front grill and bumper are not all there. They do show the interior for a split second but did not see it long enough. Need to rent the movie and slow mo it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089994/ The truck is the one that has the cage on the back that they put Big Bird in. The bad guy truck. Jschultz 1949 B1C 3/4TON Sorry I have not been around in a long time. I like the new bulletin board design. Some truck smilies would really finish it off.

Guest Dave Claussen Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Greg' date=' Don't know the year of that truck. Do remember that movie though, but not the name of it. In that scene someone is trying to kill him with a crop duster. It's an old time spy thriller. Good movie.[/quote']The name of the movie is "North by Northwest" by Alfred Hitchcock. Stars Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint and parts take place at Mt Rushmore.

Merle Coggins Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Norm, The first 2 appear to be 48 or 49's due to the stainless grill bars, even though the bottom two are missing in the first photo. The third one looks like a '50 because the grill bars are painted. In '51 the grills changed to a different design, along with a slight change in the hood. What's the car in the first pic? I'm not real good with my older car identification yet. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Evans Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 "Wrong Turn" is a swell little horror movie co-staring a Pilot House tow truck. Lots of blood and guts so look out. Not for the faint of heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintrader Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I was watching the movie Mississippi Burning (1988) last night. It has a side view of a Pilot House truck and a few chase scenes with a 40's WC also other Ford, Chevy and GMC trucks of the time. A very good movie if you have not seen it.

JBNeal Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) HOLLYWOOD The last episode of Alcatraz aired a few weeks ago where they recreated the chase scene from Bullitt. I watched the original during a rain-delay, trying to name all of the cars, trucks & vans on the streets, not seeing one jap car, a whole bunch of Beetles, a '20s Chevy (?) parked on the street, a powder blue & white A100 van in traffic then later parked on a side street...then I noticed what looks like a '48 B-1-B-108 at the top of the hill: Edited August 20, 2021 by JBNeal revised picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendleburger Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 In Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior in the US), the scene where Max is driving the Semi back into the camp and all the bad guys rush to their cars to give chase, the flat black truck that falls off the stands and crushes the guy's legs is a 51-53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Balazs Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Why settle for a glimpse? How about a feature movie starring a Pilothouse? Check out "the Rounders". Glenn Ford & Henry Fonda.....a 60's Cowboy comedy. Their Pilothouse is in the movie from the first scene to the last...and as an integral part of the entire story. And it is never not in the movie for more than about 5 minutes. Out doing what it was built to do...driving & hauling livestock....fording streams....even running from the cops. I am certain that no other movie gives one of our trucks such a significant role. Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mathias Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hey, lets not forget "the day the earth stood still". The original, not the Reeves remake. Check out some of the military vehicles in the background, you see Navy & Air Force Dodges:) I also know of a couple of C/W viddeos that have them, just cant remember the groups/songs right now.

One of the Sheiks offered me $100,000 I just flipped him the bird, said a couple of things NY style and kept driving. Not, hank Edited October 16, 2013 by HanksB3B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
