What do you think was the lift size and tire size on the Fall Guy Truck?

Did it have fender rubbing?
 
I think fender rubbing was a given on that truck every time it landed. That and breakage galore.
 
lmao
is it that show where the truck is always jumping and racing away from people?
I've watch a gazillian Dukes or Hazard episodes, one of my favorite shows after school, cool car, Daisy.... :) Can I stay?
 
I think it was Brett on here that was gonna do one up.....


here's the rig.... looks like a 4" kit to me....

A friend of mine was invited to visit a local guy who has one of the original fall guy trucks, a dukes of hazzard replica, and.... Wait for it.... an original bj & the bear kenworth!!! I've seen the photos, but haven't gotten a chance see them in person myself.
 
Here's a good video...

My dad just got me Fall Guy season 1 a couple months ago.... saw it on sale while he was out and about and couldn't pass it up. It's so bad but you can't stop watching. :)
 
in that video you can really tell where they started getting smart with the truck. The way it jumps, flys level, and lands. Some you can even see the empty cradle :)
 
IIRC later they moved the engine behind the cab to even out the weight distribution and trussed the axles and whatnot.
 
I loved that show growing up. It seems like that truck was always in the shop in the show. I crack up now how cheesy it looks by todays standards. If i remember correctly they built 2 of the truck specifically for jumping, and one for the cloe up glamour shots and another for the seperating bed, felon storage/weapons cache.
 
About the same time there was the also "Simon and Simon" detective show and their 1979 (or so) PowerWagon. Remember that?
 
I do remember simon and simon's powerwagon. I went to high school with a guy that had a very close copy of it.
