Having just watched the film it looks like a heavy duty version of a B-series Mack. I'd say something like a B-80 to 86. It has the flat constrution style front fenders and is a 6x4 chassis with a fifth wheel, so whatever that makes it... -- Last edit: 2019-11-18 14:25:51 |

This is an International Harvester of some variety, my guess is an R-series diesel. I've been digging into the history of this movie and have come into possession of some behind-the-scenes photos I can't share yet, but the IH badge is on the hood, painted over, and there's an International badge on the driver's side:![]() In the following image, which I tried to match to the main picture for this vehicle, the painted-over IH badge is visible on the hood: ![]() In this image from earlier in the movie, the painted-over IH badge is visible beneath whatever hood ornament was added. Additionally, the IH style 'Diesel' badge is visible on the passenger's side, as well as another International badge hiding further back on that side: ![]() The visually closest truck I could find with a model readily available is the RDF-230-H: Link to "oldinternationaltrucks.com" EDIT: I also have a copy of the movie on 35mm, so I'm hoping to get scans someday that can put any identification issues to bed. Before the movie, this truck was used in housemoving in the Atlanta metro area, hence the construction bumper. -- Last edit: 2023-02-14 07:38:30 |
