carfan ◊ 2005-10-10 19:16	i think it's an international but then again looking closley I thought i saw the word mack
carfan ◊ 2005-11-04 04:57	now i know what this is. It's a White 9000 series
antp ◊ 2006-02-11 23:00
firebird86 ◊ 2006-02-12 01:16	I believe Carfan has it http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/forsale/detail.asp?OHID=993698
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-16 06:07	Are you sure it is not a Mack? It looks really close to a Mack, and I thought I saw the word "Mack" on it too. But I'm not a good judge.
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-16 06:08	And what year is it?
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-16 21:12	I did some research, and couldn't find anything that resembles this truck made by White Motors. I found a White 9000 Series and it looks way more like that White 4000 Series also in Maximum Overdrive. And I found the White 9000 T series. I will continue to post info on my searches. I am still looking for a Mack that resembles this truck.
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-16 21:20	What about a Mack Model L? It looks close. Except that grill.......
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-18 05:45	Ya, it's gotta be some kind of Mack.
Barreiros ◊ 2006-03-20 15:11	Nope, not a Mack. It is a White ... 4000. There were two hood styles on the 4000, the earlier like this one, and the later one like the other White 4000 in this movie has. The cab is the same on both but was also used by other manufacturers like Autocar and Diamond Reo. Here's a pic for convenience: Link to "www.hankstruckpictures.com"
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-21 00:34	Well. You are right. It looks identical to that pic.
dwd4x4 ◊ 2006-03-22 00:15	Wait, There is nothing similar to this White 4000 and the other white, White 4000. There has got to be a mistake.
antp ◊ 2006-03-22 13:58	different years maybe?
truckface ◊ 2006-03-22 14:23	That Triple T logo on the mudflaps is seen on several other trucks in the movie.
Junkman ◊ 2006-03-22 15:43	truckface wrote That Triple T logo on the mudflaps is seen on several other trucks in the movie. I think the triple T is for the Truck-Trailer-Transit corp., a Detroit based company introducing the wedge brake system for trucks, trailers and transit buses in the early 80s. Countless trucks were then retrofitted with that system and may have received these mudflaps to advertise the services of TTT corp., or alert following trucks that weren't yet converted that the rig in front of them has superior braking abilities.
truckface ◊ 2006-03-24 08:00	dwd4x4 wrote Ya, it's gotta be some kind of Mack. The shots from the inside the cab looks just like the ones they used later on when the Mack B61 chases the Malibu, though. -- Last edit: 2006-03-24 08:24:55
Killer-Auto ◊ 2006-04-14 06:40	Whats the deal with the sound that this truck makes when it starts up? Sounds crazy lol.
firebird86 ◊ 2006-04-14 07:51	That crazy sound is a "pneumatic" air powered starter, no electrical starter. It almost sounds like an impact gun when it starts. If the truck doesnt have any air pressure built up, then you have to plug an air line into it. Its actually a very dependable system.
truckface ◊ 2006-04-14 16:08	If you have seen Mad Max 2, you know when Max tries to start up the Mack the first time, the sound is quite similar to this one.
trucker ◊ 2006-05-11 22:44	I'm guessing 1969
Kenster102.5 ◊ 2006-09-22 04:01	White and Mack were both acquired by Volvo so they kinda look the same
supermotard ◊ 2006-12-17 22:19	White 9000 with the Autocar "Driver's cab" or later known as the corporate cab,with the round fenders,used until 1966.It also has the old style aircleaner on the R.H. side.There seemed to be quite a few of these bought in 1965,as most of the ones I have seen were '65's.For 1967,they went to a squared of fiberglass front fender,and the eggcrate grille. -- Last edit: 2006-12-17 22:19:44
Rhino ◊ 2007-01-20 23:38	it's actully an 1968
crossroads ◊ 2007-02-15 03:11	This truck in the movie really did scare me more that any of the others.
Neptune ◊ 2007-02-15 05:12	crossroads wrote This truck in the movie really did scare me more that any of the others. I like the way the Diesel engine started up… Sounded creepy!!!
pete ◊ 2007-03-06 06:49	I agree with Neptune, definitely a scary truck!

TheBandit77TransAm ◊ 2009-03-29 21:42	Hey stupid!! Its a White 9000!!

Skid ◊ 2009-04-05 22:26	supermotard wrote White 9000 with the Autocar "Driver's cab" or later known as the corporate cab,with the round fenders,used until 1966. I believe motard was correct that this was a pre-1966 model. The "1968" came from Rhino, and he frequently gave the wrong model years for these vehicles.

TTT also makes dumpsters at my college.

4x4 23 ◊ 2009-09-28 00:46	I know the truck was scrapped after filming in '86
Neptune ◊ 2009-09-28 00:47	How so ?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-09-28 00:50	Also, Skid said it was a pre-1966, not a 1966 specifically. So this shouldn't be labeled as such.
BM ◊ 2009-12-13 18:13	I think it's a 1964 White 9000 check out this video down below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzxlOBtC89k&feature=related
Dead Reckoning ◊ 2010-07-12 04:00	THIS IS THE SCARIEST TRUCK EVER!!!!! The engine starter sounds like a horse laughing
boogieman ◊ 2010-07-12 07:47	When I was a kid, I thought the sound was that of an impact gun (Like in NASCAR pit stops).. I always wondered how the truck was using tools to fix itself.
sampson ◊ 2010-11-24 02:53	omfg it is a white i would know
Sausageman ◊ 2012-08-15 02:24	Great Truck!! Most Creepiest Truck in the Movie and also it has Great Engine Sound!! LOVE this WHITE 9000!!! it equipped Cummins Diesel right??
Moester ◊ 2012-08-21 11:00	This truck has ALWAYS made me feel uneasy when watching the movie. It just sounds so possessed! The way it sounds and wheelspins when it is stuck!
truckface ◊ 2012-11-18 14:11	I just noticed something. There seems to be a fifth wheel coupling underneath the home made "hook & chain"-boom. The truck is, in other words a trailer truck(tractor).

The TTT logo is a company called Triple T. The brand was started in 1967 and was started in North Carolina.
borncountry72 ◊ 2014-10-02 23:49	Wait a minute... this can't be a 9000 cause my uncle had one, and the fenders were squared at the front and the lights were inset partially inside of them, this one has completely round fenders and the headlights are mounted onto the fender and not inset.
borncountry72 ◊ 2014-10-02 23:52	There must be two different makes of the 9000 models :\
BricklinSV1 ◊ 2015-09-22 12:07	Id go with white 9000 also. Cummins engine, pneumatic starter. And being remote controlled it has hydro-static trans as used in small lawn tractors (evident by way of revving engine, jerking movements and only able to do the same speed from go to wo).
SFitz ◊ 2015-09-30 17:44	truckface wrote I just noticed something. There seems to be a fifth wheel coupling underneath the home made "hook & chain"-boom. The truck is, in other words a trailer truck(tractor). The truck has a fifth wheel towing device mounted but I doubt it was homemade. Many of these devices were produced through the years. The US Army actually uses a modern counterpart. The pictures I have aren't clear enough to determine manufacturer though.
truckface ◊ 2016-05-08 17:48	Would you look at this?! Apart from the lack of the decals saying: "BERTHA" on the doors and human entrails, this has to be the most esoteric, yet beautiful built model truck from any movie

jpts ◊ 2017-03-14 13:10	MaximumOverdrive29 wrote The TTT logo is a company called Triple T. The brand was started in 1967 and was started in North Carolina. Triple T company is a truck servicing company that services and supply truck parts, they have five servicing centres in both North Carolina and South Carolina. One of those five is in Wilmington, it is located at 2715 US Highway 421 North just a mile south of the Interstate 140 Bypass. Nice name for a White 9000, "Bertha". -- Last edit: 2017-03-18 13:11:09

antp ◊ 2018-02-16 21:16	On the other hand, you're quoting a post of the past...
Thesketchydude13 ◊ 2021-07-14 12:50	Specifically it is a White 9064TD, from probably 1964 to 1967, as thats when they started offering the "Custom Cab" to buyers (just Rebranded Autocar cab) but without the frontal hood badging (for some reason Scrapped off on this example...) its pretty hard to pinpoint as they changed the original Stylized White logo to big blocky WHITE just before they moved to the later facelift design with Fiberglass box fenders in the late 1960s interestingly it appears to have a straight across "Heavy" frame where most White 9000s seem to have a curved thinner style one...again probably the original buyers choice as It does not seem to be standard, also I'm 99% sure the editors for the film faffed up because the shot of the foot pedal in this scene is of the Mack B-65/67 as the tellatale green is still visible despite being dirty and chipped, but when that scene happens and you see it chase after Curt and Connie you can see the foot pedal of the White being pressed as it has the clear red color of the interior whereas the Mack was Green...not to mention they used the shifting gears of the Green interior Mack twice for both trucks even though they are vastly different but thats besides the point lol

Bray7 ◊ 2022-06-01 17:51	Sausageman wrote what's this wheel for? The actual driver used that wheel to drive the truck without being seen. It could be removed and attached to another truck fairly easily. You can also notice the horrendous shape that this truck was in, it really shows how bad the trucks used on-screen were.
Bray7 ◊ 2022-06-01 17:56	Also to confirm sketchydude's comment. I believe that this truck was one of the later ones built, I believe the year 1967 is a matching year. Although the logo is scrapped off of this truck, if you look closely during the film you can see a fade mark that matches that of the "newer" style White logo. He was also correct on the model name. So this thing should probably be listed as a 1967 White 9064TD. And the grey 9000TD should be unlisted as it is just the same truck as this one. -- Last edit: 2023-10-03 17:21:24
TruckerFan ◊ 2023-03-02 21:01	I would like to back you up on this, when you watch the trucks surrounding the truck stop when a orange international turns, you can see a guys hand move.
