Wow, I really need to check this more often when I make a guess
Behind at work today and nothing ready to go, so somebody feel free to go.

Gah!
The TV Show Fall Guy was modeled on that movie, and I couldn't find or remember the name of the film. Lee Majors starred in the show, drove a very similar truck, and even did a scene with the whole driving in reverse deal.
Good job figuring that one out MrToasty!

It's not Smokey and the Bandit, so from that I would have to say it's Hooper.

I'll bet you know more cars than you'd like to admit, rose.
Who's known for driving late '70s "screamin' chickens"?

Geez Rogi. I just don't know any cars - unless they've been recently reviewed by Top Gear. So, yes I would recognize a Vayron (or is it Veyron?). Other than that...I know the Audi from Art of the Heist.
I even went to that cars in movie database....but you can't search by color!
Someone else will have to get this one.

Another (more memorable, if you look closely) scene involving that truck.

Wow. Gas at 57.9 . I remember those days, but it seems so long ago , it might not even be real.
I vaguely remember some movies with Charles Branson taking place in California. One where he was a watermelon farmer that had a truck. Too bad I pay absolutely no attention to cars.
IMDB tells me it was Mr. Majestjk
I don't think that is correct though, that car looks too nice for a poor farmer.
Well I found some videos of Mr Majestjk and he has some yellow old looking truck; not a fancy red one.
So I have no idea.

Nah. I did that one a few years back. He drove a Jeep.
Here's a date-establishing shot.

Heh. My wife always refers to them as "rug monsters", usually referring to Roddenberry's Star Trek creatures and that they look like somebody with a rug thrown over them.
Here's one that should go pretty fast for the folks from that era. it's the main character's signature vehicle. and this movie sould be found in MOKA under "Character name in title".

Correct! I love it. The screenwriter of the first treatment was Ray Bradbury, the monsters were truly rubbish. Even better, they didn't kill anyone and really didn't want to be on Earth. It was the humans who were the real bad-guys, unusual for this era and made it all the better in my book.
