one of the few americans who can drive a manual i bet |

I'd bet roughly half of Americans can drive manuals. I'm among them...then again, I'm an enthusiast, so that's to be expected. On another note, I've always loved this truck in this movie. I currently own an '89 stepside that's fixed up pretty similar to it. |

One scene had column gear shift and the other scene had floor mounted gear shift where the driver slip out of the knob after changing the gear. |

c10...5 lug wheels. Also difficult to lower the front suspension that much if 4x4. |

Indeed, this is a Chevrolet C-10 Stepside. The correct model year range for this one would be 1973-1974. -- Last edit: 2010-02-16 05:26:40 |

definitely 1973-74 by the grille, which has a 454 emblem if you look closely. It also has a factory tach which can be seen in the rear window shots as he's shifting. |

lightfoot1976's Comment got me thinking...Do most non-Americans think that we all drive automatics? My mother-in-law is the only person I have ever met that can't drive a manual transmission. And as I told my wife I think that people that do not "know how" to drive manuals are just to lazy to learn, as it is very easy. My first car was a 5-speed and I like driving manuals better. Although It was tricky driving my friends 1961 Ford F-350 with a 3-speed this weekend just because I am used to the placement of the gears in a 5-speed. |

Not all of us are too lazy to learn. I, for one, would love to learn to drive stick. The problem lies in the fact that the only car with a standard transmission around FIT is an original '68 AMX in excellent condition. When I get home, the only manual around will belong to an '83 Porsche 911 Targa. If you were the owner of either of these cars, would you hand the keys over to an inexperienced college student? If you happen to have any spare time, please head on down to Florida and introduce me to the ways of the stick shift. Until then, mark me as an exception to your "lazy theory". |

On my 15th birthday, my father allow me to drive his 1972 SAAB 99E (which subsequently became my first car) with a 4 speed manual at my high school driving course ground. That is how I learn to drive with stick shift  This SAAB 99E has hydraulic clutch system and it is bit tricky to use. When I drove my 1988 Volkswagen Fox, the clutch system was direct mechanical system and it was very easy to use. |

"Is this a shifter car?" http://www.strimoo.com/video/13568727/Buffalo-66-MySpaceVideos.html |

It was a rear-wheel drive only pickup, as its independent front suspension, with contoured lower control "A" arms, was very visible. -- Last edit: 2011-06-15 05:41:30 |

Here is a video of how a "three-speed on the column" manual gearbox works on a rounded-line pickup. Forgive the crudeness of the video. |

I watched this again last night. I love that truck. But in the scene where you can see the tach as he's driving off in it the first time, it has a floor shifter with possibly a Hurst T handle as you can see where Ryan O'Neal's hand hits the dash when he slipped off the handle (he seems to do that often, but that doesn't involve a shifter...hahaha) but later during the chase scenes it has a column shifter. |

Hey Skid you should put that up I bet it's nice, if you still have it. -- Last edit: 2012-02-16 04:02:25 |

Having just watched this movie for the first time in years, I remembered to pay attention to the shifter in the truck. I have to believe at least two trucks were used; there is clearly a floor shifter with a Hurst T-handle in one scene, and in others O'Neal can be seen shifting down toward the seat. Additionally, in the close ups of the pedals, the clutch pedal is barely visible in the background. However, in the close-ups for whatever reason they show him using a automatic column shifter...and in one shot in the warehouse in slow-mo I was able to see that truck did have a column automatic. It's not unusual to have multiple stunt vehicles, but it is odd to find such a difference in transmissions! |

Mike, do you have any shot showing gear select lever in both trucks? |
|
◊ 2013-12-05 14:09 |
floor mounted when Ryan O'Neil actually drives it, editors for some stupid reason inserted closeups with wheel mounted you can see no shifter in thumbnail I posted -- Last edit: 2013-12-05 14:09:41 |

Can anyone identify the aftermarket wheels on this truck? I've always assumed they were Jackman wheels, but in that last thumb something doesn't quite look right. |
|
◊ 2016-04-24 02:59 |
They remind me of those generic wheels they use on trailers. |

was the Chevy 454 LS5 with 390 BHP offered on this truck ? if so you can actually believe that it was bloody fast |
|
◊ 2018-02-13 17:47 |
Naw, just the stock 454 same as on 1-tons and station wagons, I reckon. A guy who had one in the '70s said he could pass anything but a gas station. |

It's hard to see the interior door panels on this truck, but it doesn't appear to have woodgrain just below the window. It does however, have woodgrain on the right side of the dashboard, as the above screenshots show. In 1973, that wood strip on the right side of the dash only came on the Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super, but both of those had the interior door panels with woodgrain all the way up to the window sill. But in 1974, the cheaper Custom and Custom Deluxe also got the woodgrain strip on the dash, along with the less-adorned interior door panels. The all-vinyl seats were also optional that year on the Custom Deluxe (but not the base Custom). I'm therefore leaning towards this truck being a 1974 Custom Deluxe. -- Last edit: 2023-02-08 06:30:03 |
