Re: Rockford Files?

Did anyone notice that the one picture of the truck it has the fender emblems of a 1973/74 (can't see the grill). The rest of the trucks all seem to be of 1975/76.

Probably different trucks. Hollywood is hard on vehicles. Notice that some trucks feature a foot step in front of the rear tires. Others don't

All it takes is one chase scene going wrong and the vehicle is wrecked. Time to bring in the understudy truck.

I think about everyone of them I have seen has a 1975-1976 grill, even if they were a 1974, iread most of the trucks were 1974's or 1977's.

Just curious to know if they are being shown somewhere or if they were all in private hands and therefore not able to be seen?

You can see that the cab alignment to the bed is off in some pictures. The trucks got put through their paces looks like.
