one of cooters tow rigs was a dent as well ( the yellow one) it was a 79 f350 custom and another one was a bumpside f350

 

I saw one in "Ghost Rider" with Nick Cage about a week or so ago. The scene I first noticed it in is when Satan visits him the second time to get him to hunt down Blackheart (I think that's his name). 1:21 in on this clip.

The kid/monster tears the driver side door off the pull the steering off and breaks it. then pulls the keys from a fake ign. swith and swallows them.
This is probly goin to keep me up all night thinking of more.

 

Sounds like they are popular trucks to use in movies & on tv.

 

Only one i can think of that hasn't been mentioned is a episode of Miami Vice, i think about season three, 4th or 5th episode in. A nice decked out dark blue or black long bed, 73-77, on like 36"s, roll bar, etc. A teen gang uses it for some stop and go vandalism, then drive off doing the uzi/ak47 shoot from the hip fire fight/drive by from the bed...

I noticed a few in random watchings lately, but can't tell ya what it was.

(I did notice in the last episode of the 70s mini series "Centennial", there is a nice mint(was new then) bump side long bed. Brown I think. )

G.

 

How about the green and white supercab in "The Vanishing?" Anybody catch that one?

 

Hmm, yeah, I got a vauge memory of that one, just watched that movie recently.

 

the orange 78 short box that michael j fox races at the end of back to the future. The funniest part is that a Toyota was actually going to race

 

I almost forgot about that 1. Id really like to own a copy of that movie. However im almost positive thats its realy a 73-77 with a 78 grill. Im sure Ive seen the F100 or F150 badge on the fender instead of the cowl. Ive gotta watch that movie again to be sure tho. Still a very nicce looking truck. Glad they didnt wreck it either

 

Man, you guys are good!!!

They just played the trilogy of this series on cable somewhere and my wife and I TIVO'd it to watch later. This is one of my all time favorite movie series.







They couldn't have given him a better 4WD? Even if it was a Toyota......JACK IT UP!

 

I'm watching Phenomenon right now with John Travolta and George's (Travolta) tow truck is a dent, looks like a 78-79.

 

check out the movie idle hands bad looking dentside in that one
