I think this is a pretty neat old truck. According to the web site there were four of them used in the filming of the 1971 movie "Duel"....

Maybe it was the movie what caused Chrysler to go BK in 1980.

Looks like something out of a "mad max" movie..

Yep, thats the Duel truck.

If I remember correctly, that truck is not actually rusted, it's painted like that.

I'm sure that I read that on some article...

Looks like mine... sitting there all mad looking, and leaking oil like the Exxon Valdez.

Ahhh! Duel! Fueled my love for trucks and diesels when I was a youngun'. Id drive that truck around as it sits. Love that movie. Most people dont know what Im talking about when Im telling them about it; kinda like Two Lane Blacktop...

They HAD to run a slant 6. Any other Mopar engine under the hood it wouldnt have been much of a duel...that Valiant woulda walked away no problem

A Ford or Chevy woulda broke down trying to run away from the semi and gotten run over...
