      From what I have heard that wasn't in the script.
      The director kept telling the stunt driver to take that corner faster and he finally rolled it.
      They liked the look of the wreck so they wrote it in.
      I keep hoping some day the extra footage from Convoy will show up.
      Apparently the first edit was nearly 3 hours long.
      I am told the entire town that "Spider Mike" was being held in gets destroyed by the convoy.
      Imagine budgeting for a destruction scene of an entire town, filming it and the full sequence winding up on the cutting room floor.
      Official story is all the extra footage was thrown out years ago.
      I keep hoping someone smuggled out a full edit of it and took it home.

      Mack also supplied this cab to the Canadian truck manufacturer Hays. In Canada it was known as a Haymack cab to truck drivers. Usually has a Cummins
      NTA 370, or NTA 400. That was big power back in the day, but very thirsty. Peterbilt also supplied the Pete 352 cab to Hays. They did originally start
      off with their own cabs. Hays where a well respected manufacturer of logging trucks on the west coast, as was Pacific. They gave Kenworth a run for their
      money, as they also where a custom truck builder in respect to building off highway trucks. RIP Hays Clipper.

Was amazed to watch them go from frame to complete truck..we now host a Brockway truck show, once a year. Brocks from all over the East Coast come. As many as 50 to 75 trucks show up. Brockways and Detroit 12v71 can't go wrong. The plant is now long gone and has left a void here.live long Brockway.

      Unless one of you are one, I think we need a Detroit tech to answer the question on backpressure. But, I can read and know how to use the Google machine, which says little or no backpressure is needed on a 2-stroke.
      And, the reason they are so loud, they are air cooled, no water jackets to quite the motor, and, since it is 2-stroke, no dedicated exhaust cycle, so, pipes need to be VERY free flowing!!!
      I think they could put 12 exhaust stacks on and that motor would still be loud.
