Some nice film angles of the truck's running gear (front offset differential housing, rear differential housing, solid front & rear axles, rear primary driveshaft and various other robust suspension components) Added two extra pics -- Last edit: 2010-01-22 21:25:09 (vilero)

G-MANN ◊ 2009-12-15 22:47	Isn't this just a standard non-military Chevy pickup? In the film this is used by some kidnappers not American military. Actually what am I doing asking this when Neptune identified this, he notices every tiny detail on his preferred models. -- Last edit: 2009-12-15 22:55:18
