GTO 990 ◊ 2012-08-31 03:09	like Duel's, but duel's is a 281 and this one is much older, I dare say it's a 1954 Peterbilt 351
Q-Ball ◊ 2012-10-30 16:02	the driver looks like Cleveland from Family Guy.

oldsmobile1897 ◊ 2014-10-10 01:00	Like 4x4 23 mentioned, it's a 1961 model. -- Last edit: 2014-10-19 23:40:37
Skid ◊ 2016-06-15 03:14	This truck still exists, although it's been off the road since the late 1980s: Link to "www.facebook.com"
PhantomOfNightwish ◊ 2017-04-03 12:09	It has a 10-speed Eaton and 2-speed auxiliary transmition; it's got a 1674 Caterpillar in it - at least it sounds like that kinda. I asked the owner.
Bray7 ◊ 2022-06-28 01:42	I also contacted the owner who says he has no idea what year the truck is. He didn't seem too cooperative, and didn't know hardly anything about it. It hasn't been registered since 1988 and was last on the road sometime between 1987-88. He says it was used as a farm truck for awhile after. It's currently sitting in an abandoned barn near San Marcos, Texas in terrible condition. -- Last edit: 2022-10-26 05:36:07
Dimensional ◊ 2024-01-26 00:41	Here is the rear view of this Fruehauf Livestock Trailer
Dimensional ◊ 2024-01-26 00:47	Here's some clips I found on YT, showing more photos of the truck behind the scenes. It's funny how they used a dummy in this scene.
Dimensional ◊ 2024-01-26 00:50	It is confirmed that the Trailer is a Fruehauf Livestock Trailer, the year is unknown, but it's confirmed that it is a Fruehauf
Dimensional ◊ 2024-07-08 00:39	For that Fruehauf Livestock Trailer, It's a 1955-1974 Make, thats all I can narrow it down to, and it could also possibly be a Hobbs Fruehauf Livestock Trailer
