| The article in your link states that the truck is indeed a 1960 Peterbilt 281, just like the original truck from the movie |
2006-06-03 21:37
| This one is also a 351! |
2006-06-09 18:15
| The 281's had single axles and the 351's have double axles. So it's a 1960 Peterbilt 351. |
2006-06-10 14:59
| This is a 281 with tag axle, check the link from my post above. |
2006-06-10 15:04
| Well, just call it 632 so it includes both (351+281  ) -- Last edit: 2006-06-10 15:04:36 |

| If the people that own one of the origional trucks say it's a 281, then it must be a peterbilt 281! I mean think about it, if you owned the truck you would know all about it. |

| There were actually three trucks used for Duel: A 1955 Peterbilt 281 was the main picture truck...it was thrown from the cliff at the end and destroyed. The 1960 281 in the above link was a backup truck. The 1955 had a crapped out engine, so the 1960 was buit as a backup. This 1960 model is the model mentioned in the article above, and there is some debate as to whether or not it was used in the movie (it likely was, just in very brief parts). This very truck appeared in the film "Torque". A 1964 (I believe this one was actually a 351) was used for the scenes added to the film in 1973...the railroad crossing and the school bus scene. I've heard that it's still sitting in a warehouse at Universal studios in extremely poor condition. It was also used for a 1978 episode of "The Incredible Hulk". The picture on this site appears to depict the 1955 truck. |

| I think its kinda funny how a Universial movie prop wound up in a Warner Brothers production. O hey did anyone notice that a red Plymouth sedan was driectly in front of the truck in the opening scene? .gif ";)") Just wondering if anyone else cought that besides me. |
2006-07-03 10:15
| I dunno where you get it was Warner Brothers: The opening on my VHS and DVD both say "Universal". EDIT: Unless you're referring to "The Incredible Hulk". -- Last edit: 2006-07-03 10:17:01 |

| I saw it on TBS, but then again could have been the end of the previous movie I saw. I dunno, I was tired. I saw the WB logo graphic between them somewhere. But, the kid in the beginning had a Dukes of Hazzard shirt on. Universial didnt make that shaow, WB did. Edit: It IS a WB production.

| Torque? Hell, I thought you meant Duel. Yes, Torque WAS a WB movie. |

| Stop making so many posts in a row. And I also don't know where you're pulling this information from: Three trucks were used for the Duel production. I already explained this above. |
Rhino 2007-02-14 18:18
| a 1963 was included for the crash |
2007-04-15 21:21
| Who knows where this truck is now? |
2007-04-27 08:21
| The 60-truck wasn´t used at all. It was just a standby truck far as I know. The 55 was used in the whole movie except the "extra parts" filmed in ´73: Bus scene and railroad crossing and when David Mann comes out of the gas station after talking to his wife, you can see this truck having the other type of aircleaner. |
Rhino 2007-05-01 02:36
| a 1963 crashed cause the the is seen driving the 55 in the Increable Hulk |
2007-11-13 04:27
| Do you think you could help me find a picture of the "unrestorable" truck at Universal? |
2007-11-18 17:40
| Was the 281 ever available with quad headlights? |
2008-03-20 18:08
| i believe i know where the truck is its located in kentucky and owned by st loughie dump trucks. its still running today but is in rough shape. (it wouldn't be the duel truck if it wasn't, lol) |
2008-03-20 18:15
| i dont think so the 351 model was but i dont think they started coming out with the quad lights untill the 70s"?" |
2008-06-27 20:11
| The number plates on the front are supposedly from other cars that the truck destroyed |
