Raul1983 wrote Has anyone heard about this truck film ? Looks very cool. Especially when a truck jumps over railroad at the end.

Looks like a modified version of this truck:

Not just any Kenworth W-900.

This rig belonged to Gene Schreindl. It's a 1975 Kenworth W-900A powered by a Detroit 8v92 w/ Allison HT754 tranny and a Spicer 4 speed along with 4.11 Rockwell Rears. 300" Wheelbase w/ 120" Double Eagle upholstered in avacado-green diamond-pleat naugahyde and velour. Included in the back is a wash basin, microwave, color tv, vcr, Panasonic stereo with 8 speakers throughout the sleeper and cab, air conditioner and refrigerator. All this is powered by a Kubota 5kw generator.
There is a picture of it on Hank's Truck Pictures in William McCoullough w/ a smaller DE.

Suppose we can't see that picture & I guess we can confirm the year of this truck as a 1975

http://hankstruckforum.com/htforum/index.php?topic=50984.0 sadly it's been told that the Kenworth got burnt and destroyed. it's also mentioned that their could've been another rig driven by gene (the original owner of Thunder) but of course there has to be something said about the stunt Kenworth used in the movie. you can tell by the differnces by the mirrors, and mostly the rims of the truck when the railroad crossing scene and the scene crashed through a roadblock in the valley. i don't where to put that truck in the info.

I recall there's one on the side of the hood that says 8V-92.
