Fall Guy Truck

[wazzabie]

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

Did it have fender rubbing?

 

[noJeepshere]

I think fender rubbing was a given on that truck every time it landed. That and breakage galore.

I think it was like 8" lift and 38's or something close to that.

If you are on this website, and are not familier with the Tv show Fall guy, leave your membership at the door. May god have mercy on your soul.

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?

According to wikipedia it was 6" on 35s with 16" wheels

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.

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.

 

[CherryK5]

holy crap! 4:28, who thinks the axle shifted?

 

[yellowK20]

6" and 38" dick Cepeks IIRC

( pic whoring opportunity )

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.

 

[kgblazerfive]

3.40 you can see the mid engine pretty well

About the same time there was the also "Simon and Simon" detective show and their 1979 (or so) PowerWagon. Remember that?

 

[thebluemax]

I do remember simon and simon's powerwagon. I went to high school with a guy that had a very close copy of it.

 

[noJeepshere]

I hope you can see it too.
