I know this is probably on here somewhere but if you find the TV show "Highway Patrol" on YouTube there are lots of scenes staring "our kind of trucks." One episode in particular, "Art Thief" has a 55 panel and a 56 F100. 2150 BYE,

Twilight Zone is also another good source.

The most egregious TV scene I've ever seen was in the "Rip Van Winkle Caper" episode of the series. Gold robbers drive a Monkey Face panel off a cliff, the least they could have done is use a Manure Spreader as a double in that scene.



This episode was make in 1961 so the truck was about 11 years old, considered just an old truck back then. I would love to have that old truck in that condition now.

They actually did too, not a stunt double like on
Tool Time where Tim's 55 Chevy Nomad was crushed in a scrap yard. My Chevy friends years ago taped that show and frame by frame they could see that the car getting crushed was a junker 55 Chevy Handyman panel delivery.

Don't remember the truck but I do remember that particular Twilight Zone very well. The bad guys got hold of a cryogenic machine and froze themselves to be reanimated some time in the future, (2050) or something. When they awoke they were still in the desert cave, one or more hade died and some how one guy finds his way out to the road, dying of thirst. He flags down a very futuristic car and offers them gold for some water. He dies and as the couple, in the car, drive away they talk about how strange it was to be offered gold for water. The man says he remembers hearing something about gold being very valuable, way back when. "Before they learned how to manufacture it!"


Now you've made me want to see it again.
