This particular truck had the standard 350 and by the sound of it, glasspack exhaust. |

I believe this truck may have been a rare "Beau James" edition. It would have been this color blue with a silver hood and midsection. If you look close, the truck has a blue hood ornament on it, which was characteristic of the Beau James pacakge. However, the one in the movie seems to say "GMC" instead of BEAU JAMES on it. http://img.favcars.com/gmc/c-k-series/gmc_c3500_1975_photos_1.jpg |

DAZED was an ambitiously scheduled and typically under-budgeted film, and the production manager, who had worked with the Coen brothers on BLOOD SIMPLE helped out with a plan - the studio had given us a half-day for hair, makeup and wardrobe tests to be shot. Why not shoot the Robo-Wash sequence and simply call it a test? That way we'd get a jump on completing scenes. Also, this particular period-correct car wash was in Seguin, Texas almost an hour from Austin, so scheduling the short scene on a normal production day would have added a lot of drive time, shortening the work day significantly. So it came to pass that this freshman-washing scene with the gal's pickups was the first day of filming, and the short "Robo-Cam" shot from an Eyemo crash cam mounted to the arm of the moving water-jet arm was the first shot completed. Official DAY ONE wasn't until the next week, on a Monday. The freshman girls were all troupers and deserved hazard pay for what we put them through. Those in the Jimmy seemed to catch the worst of it. |

You could get them with a GMC hood ornament, as well as a Bowtie for the Chevy's. So, that doesn't really mean much. The Beau James trucks were based on the Sierra Classic trim, and this was a Sierra Grande. |
