Wikipedia says the following:

>>was inspired by a 1951 International Harvester[1][2] tow truck but bears more of a resemblance to a 1955-57 Chevrolet or GMC<<

Close enough for a chevy fan i guess

Re: movie trucks

I was in Marfa, Texas earlier this year on business and ran into the owner of the truck that Tommy Lee Jones drove in "No Country for Old Men". Nice original unrestored 69 C10 big block that is used as a daily driver. It was purchased from original owner and has never left Presidio County. The movie production company rented the truck from the owner. It was returned with a few small dents that they compensated for. Here is a few pics, one I took and one from movie.

My avatar is my old truck in 1980-82. I miss her dearly. She died from a dead water pump and florida rust after a colorado flood saturated the cab with clay. What a loss.
