Re: fall guy truck

I love that truck. When I was a kid I had a matchbox General Lee and a matchbox Fall Guy truck in my lego house.

Re: fall guy truck

Did any of you buy first season of the Fall Guy on DVD yet? It came out June 5. It was supposed to be released two different ways, first season Vol. 1 and 2, and as a full first season box set. I bought it as first season Vol. 1 but haven't found Vol. 2...... yet. I have found the complete full season but it's a lot more expensive to buy it that way. No one around here even has it for rent yet either. More waiting....

It is a pretty cool show even though I have only seen half of the first season for the first time in well over 20 years! If it's possible to wear out a DVD I will git 'er done! Anyway, they really beat the crap out of those T.V. movie trucks don't they?

On the first DVD that I have the interview that they had with Lee Majors he states that GMC was very generous with supplying trucks. Good thing too! They were always jumping something with it and would end up completely destroying it when they were done because the trucks are so front end heavy. He said they ended up moving the engine back into the center of the cab for better weight distribution. They still destroyed those trucks, but at least they got more than one jump out of each of them! ...Joe

Years ago I went to this murder mystery movie. Well turned out Lee Majors side kick Howie was in this movie. In the movie Howie turned out to be the killer but even worse he played a gay guy and it showed him french kissing a guy(puke).
Anyway I could never watch the Fall Guy after that.

The best show was the Rockford Files. Loved Rockys pre 80 truck. Well I loved the show because the show was great but the truck was cool as well.

Re: fall guy truck

I've seen all thoose shows and movies, and was gonna mention alot of them but that link listed most of them I knew.

Love the truck from every which way but loose, it was beautiful. I always wondered about the tonneau around the roll bar wanted to see that up close because I wanted to do the same thing.
