convoy71 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi My name is David Frederick, 34 for Northeast PA. I operate www.convoytm.com which is based for the 1978 movie and 1976 song by CW McCall. Does anyone remember this model truck which was the front tanker truck driven by Kris Kristofferson in the movie. The truck(s) was supplied by Bruhn Trucking (John and Frank Bruhn), I talked to John months ago, he was 14 when movie was filmed.

If you are interested the movie is available on DVD. Good luck, Ronnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
