Hiergehts ◊ 2006-01-16 03:01	Late 70's GMC Astro 95 I believe.
antp ◊ 2006-01-16 12:34	Was listed as "tow truck", but this is for vehicles made for pulling other vehicles. A truck with a trailer is listed as "trailer truck". Other view: /vehicle.php?id=18557 -- Last edit: 2006-01-16 12:35:07
Exiv96 ◊ 2006-01-16 22:50	I believe it's a GMC Astro 95 too.
Q-Ball ◊ 2007-06-14 04:28	The truck full of cigarettes. I thought it was a box truck pulling a trailer but when i watched the chase, I noticed that it was a double trailer with single axels. i agree with it being an Astro, but not a 95

Kooshmeister ◊ 2008-04-15 19:33	It's this indestructible monster that completely annihilates whatever it comes into contact with, and the driver is a total psycho. Close ups/interior -- Last edit: 2012-11-06 00:39:58 (karoomay)
Cycolac Fan ◊ 2008-05-12 00:22	Modifications to the truck included an extra strong front bumper. See that big box right behind the cab? It looks like a big air conditioner unit but it was in fact a box for the camera to lie in and get some moving shots over the driver's shoulder - brave man!
cko ◊ 2010-01-06 08:37	First picture in the bottom row: He appears to be sideswiping the very same '72 Impala he pushed the vegetable truck into!
Major Tom ◊ 2010-10-27 15:46	Possibly one of the most satisfying chase sequences in film history this! Short, but heavy on the carnage.
GTO 990 ◊ 2012-03-25 05:57	hiergehts wrote Late 70's GMC Astro 95 I believe. 1978 or newer, since 1978 with the big grill from the switch of the small grill positivly sure it's a 1978 or 1979 model truck

I find that very easy to believe, at least the part about the hidden compartment for the cameraman. It'd be nice to see those two other pics that Kooshmeister added restored. -- Last edit: 2012-05-20 22:11:49
IHateFreedom ◊ 2012-08-20 20:23	In the director commentary, Martin Brest mentioned that the bumper was reinforced with a steel I-beam and was nicknamed "The Train" by the crew since it could go through anything.
eLMeR ◊ 2020-01-21 02:15	4 horizontal slots in the bumper and door handles at the bottom of the doors mean a 1980+ Astro (without 95): (1969-79 Astro 95 // 1978-79 Astro 'SS' // 1980-87 Astro)
geop ◊ 2022-09-04 03:01	I worked on Astro's when they were in service,I laughed out loud at the theater when i saw this scene ! I had a Astro come in with an exhaust leak and it turned out the cab mount the front spring mount and the radiator mount shared the same 4 bolts . The truck was backed into in a parking lot causing the cab to shift and pulled the exhaust stack away from the turbo pipe.
