- This is the last known surviving truck from the movie Duel. This is some footage I had from when I owned the truck from 02 to 05. I would like to thank Digital Dreams Studio for helping me put this together
Local hospitals reported an unexpected spike in the number of motorists admitted with heart problems that day. Garages reported high sales of radiator hoses.
+lewisner LMAO.!!! Good One...
Lmfao

lewisner and restaurants reported high sales of Swiss cheese on rye R..Y...E sandwiches
Lol
I remember watching this film for the first time when I was 5. And when I used to see the truck I used to hide. 23 years later it still gives me chills what a powerful symbol of fear and intimidation.
This was my Dad's favorite movie. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I watched this movie with my Dad when I was younger. To this day I am absolutely terrified of trucks on the highway. If I ever saw THIS TRUCK barreling on the highway, I'd pass out at the wheel right there.
It's been my fave movie since it came out in 1971.. Thanks Karen..
I made my son watch it over and over....he is 32 now and guess what he makes his son watch.....
Then when you regain consciousness, you look to see something big waiting for you to get moving...smoking bellowing out of the pipes...
My pop loved it
Still the scariest truck
I sure thought so.
Nah the Chevrolet Coe from Jeepers Creepers
@@jasonkrane6285 ... Truth.. That Truck ?? " VERY " Scary..
That gearbox sounds beautiful; snick, snick, snick into each detent without even a hint of fuss. It's good to see such an iconic truck still on the road!
This truck has got "badass" written all over it
If I saw that thing out on the street, or even heard it coming, I think I would run and hide for a few *hours*
I feel very lucky to have owned that truck.. I too saw the movie when it first aired in 71..And to have a little bit of film from when I did Is a great memory..
Spielberg's first film , amazing , It ticks all the boxes in every way , it is an American Film legend .
Swiss cheese on rye... R. Y. E.. Seen this film so many times. Absolutely love it.
"I don't believe it, I just don't believe it!"
They always want to talk about the chase in Bullitt, how about being chased by a Psycho driving a Peterbilt 281 while all you have is a 6 cylinder Plymouth Valiant
The truck that went over the cliff was the primary truck that was used in the movie.. The one you see here in this vid. was the standby truck.. ( truck # 2 ) Truck # 3 is the one that was used for the Train crossing and School bus scene's
It's great to see this movie star again. I love it. I miss, Dennis Weaver already.
I'd mess my pants if I saw that thing coming up behind me on the freeway! "HOW CAN HE GO SO FAST!"
....he's got some kind of souped up, diesel.
I saw your truck driving East on Magnolia years ago. I couldn't believe my eyes. I shouted out the window when you went by, "Duel truck!". I turned around to get a better look, but the truck was gone like a phantom. This was just after four other sound editors and myself had recut all new sound effects for the new release on DVD with 5.1 audio. I wish we had access to your truck when we were creating the new effects. Your were just a few miles away from Universal. Thanks, for a great video and for preserving this truck. It's part of film history.
Did you notice the Dolby Labs building @ 3:25?
For any fan of the movie seeing this is truely awesome. Beginning at 0:12... this would be the perfect way to begin Duel Part 2. To hear it starting up again sent chills down my back.
I just hope the truck is in good hands now. Hope it never dies.
I have had that happen a few times.. Driving down the road . and Seeing the shocked look on peoples faces.. It was very obvious that they knew what this truck was..
Oh my goodness joe Schlotthauer, this female Jo loved the movie and I still love it. I own a DVD copy and watch it from time to time. The above footage brought back the delicious fear I have whenever I re-watch it. It never fades......... The sight of the the truck, the sounds of it. If I ever saw it turn into my driveway I'd have heart palpitations for sure! Thanks to those who made the above video.
Jo from Australia.
So Glad you enjoyed the video.. Thank you.. It was a labor of love..
Thank you Allison.. I can't tell you how much fun this Rig was to own.. Just like you said.. Love the movie.. Love the truck for sure...
Imagine driving on a desert road and seeing this truck in your rear-view mirror.
Watching this again a year later, this truck is so sinister lol. Thank you Mr. Spielberg
Big Thank You to him.... The movie could have been So bad with out him..
Selling this rig was NOT on the top of my To Do list let me tell you .. BUT there are times when life dictates what we must do. Just so glad to have owned it for the time i did
this movie still scares the shit outta me
Saw the movie many, many, times and will see it many more. Love that beast of a truck. Great video.
Well... For the 3 years that I owned it.. They were very cool about it being there.. Burbank CA. Is a very Movie friendly town.. ..I think that is the only reason i was able to get away with " 60 feet of the ugliest tanker you've ever seen " in my driveway at my house...
The "Petina" and the sound of the cat engines they used in the trucks are what made the truck so menacing. The old school turbo diesel in that truck put out one of the the best exhaust notes to ever come out of a truck.
Man, this is neat! I can imagine this would be a terrifying sight to see for anybody who has seen the movie! It looks in fantastic shape. You must have taken real good care of it. Great video! Thanks for putting this together and uploading it here!
This is absolutely brilliant, great to know the truck is still alive and well. I absolutely grew up with this film, I still have it on VHS when it was played here in about 1983 - tape still works! First saw it about 1977 as a very young kid and was spellbound.
Respect all round.
scariest truck in the history of ever!
So many great scenes from the movie..... but the scariest is the shot of the truck slowly pulling under the bridge as Mann is helping the school bus.. then the way the lights come on when Mann sees it.. As though the driver has seen him and said yes im here!!!! The lights coming on are like the opening of Draculas eyes!!
Love the video, love the truck. I like the Duel truck so much I had to find one. Recently I was lucky enough to find a similar truck. Mine, though, is a 62 351 Pete with a 10x3, the frame is quite a bit longer and it has 4 headlights (which will be changed to the the dual headlights soon). Those early Petes just have a sinister look to them. Fun stuff!
I had a smile on my face for this entire video
BAD ASS!!, I have the DVD and I saw it in 1971 at the grand lake theater when it premiered!
Remember when Weavers says "How can he go so fassssssst!?" Awesome job
Can't beat me on the grade
the best movie of spielberg ever...
The wreck was cleaned up and hauled away the day the finished shooting...
"Well it's about time Charlie!"
Wow. So awesome, thank you for sharing. When I saw the truck pulling out of that narrow driveway I thought to myself I would LOVE to see them back that monster up back into that driveway and you delivered! Awesome!
+floridaskater07 .. Thanks ( it did help that i was a truck driver for 16 years before i bought this rig..
"THAT"..... was insanely creepy!!! Watching and hearing it start up with that infamous black smoke blowing out the diesel stack pipe and moving slowly down the driveway gave me the shivers. Even turning onto the street from the house....this truck exudes pure evil. If I saw this truck on the highway, I'm getting off at the next exit. The drivers of this "beast" have real skills, thats an old peterbilt, the shifting and the backing into the driveway. Not an easy task. I'll bet the neighbors don't get on the truck owners nerves.......would You? Thank you for posting this.😓😓😓
This is the f...g coolest Truck ever built, ( He has a "real" face ) I like this badass - engine sound Nice Video : )
Thank you very much!
You were so freaking lucky to have that truck!! I need to get something similar to pick my kids up from school in.
lol ur so funny
Remember seeing Duel for the first time as a ten year old. Twenty-five years later and it's still the greatest film I have ever seen.
+CultureOfCritique I was also 10 years old when i saw the movie when it aired the first time on tv. Scared the CRAP out of me.. LOL.
I remember all the chatter on the CB in Missouri on I-44 when it was driven to St.Louis. It was cool to stop on the side of the interstate and wave as he drove by.
it is great to keep and share this monumental truck wich is a part of my childhood love it
thanks!!
Love the small mirror on the front of the hood. A couple old timers told me that was so the driver could keep an eye on the volume/color of the exhaust smoke, which would be a sign that the engine was being overlugged/over fueled
Yes Daniel. That was Exactly what the small mirror if for...
Thank you both for solving that mystery for me. I always figured it was for keeping an eye on the top of the truck, should have figured it would be the stack they were looking at.
The mirror on the hood is to watch the stack... ( back in the day's before Pyrometers.. )
I thought I was the only one who thought it was a great movie.
The coffee can flying off the stack when it starts up..........totally makes the movie!!!!!!! AWESOME!!
And I can also play " It's a great day for the Irish " on the High Flat Table....
Amazing video! ‘I gave you the road why don’t you take it?’ 👍🏻
I'd like to report a truck driver who is endangering my life!!
Daniel Rause
"I want you to cut it out, okay?"
What phone both you calling from.
Man with 2 N's
I saw that movie in '71 when I was 9 years old. I'm 55 now and that damned truck still gives me the creeps!!!!
Same for me.. I was 10 in 1971.. Scared the HELL out of me
Very cool. I remember as a kid staying up late in 1975[the 9 o'clock movie] and watching 'Duel'. I actually just revisited that movie two weeks ago and enjoyed all the scenery from the valley of California. Great movie, excellent RUclips post.
One year. ( when i still owned it. ) I put it at the mouth of my driveway.. And strung some cobwebs on it... Then i sat in the cab and spun the starter when kids would walk by... Gave them a pretty good jump... lol...
...And nobody cares about the little red Plymouth...
Don't worry Frysco... The trucks current owner.. Bought a lil red valient for it to chase around .. So.. Not Fogoton.
RexCars1 nice I kinda want a Plymouth now so I can say that this is the car from duel
If I had that I would follow people in it.
When that truck went over the cliff in the movie, the driver's door was open. Hmmm, with this rig, how about a duel 2???
How cool is THIS?! I was surprised it started right up and went barreling down the street! The 1971 film was awesome....some of the best cinematography ever! Thanks for uploading this!
That is so cool. That bastard turned around and came back!!!
I heard Speilberg say once in an interview that he approached the Duel movie with a " Hitchcock " feel.. ( I do like the " Bruce Dern " idea though ) That would have been Interesting.... I also thought that the truck would have been great in an " X File eppisode"...
Excellent production. Grew up being terrified of that truck.
Pity you couldn't hang on to it.
I guess not many people would make the connection to a nearly 50 year old movie but it would shitscare me on a lonely road if I saw it in the mirror. I was only 12 when it came out and it 's burned into my friggen memory forever.
+Peter Walker You're so right. It scared the shit out of me too!! lol
I would have a heart attack and fanboy if I saw that thing coming up on me.
I absolutely love/hate this truck! It scares me!
Lol! I still luv this movie.....from being a kid to being a truck driver now myself. Thanks for the memories!
So beautifull truck with the citern all is like the film Duel. I was hopening that David Mann (Dennis Weaver) would be on road! I like Spielberg realisations.Congratulations for this video ! And Greetings from France. Fred
Duel was the first horror film I ever saw, and is still hands down my favourite. I love getting people to see it for the first time. This vid was a real treat to see, that truck is STILL terrifying. Thank you for sharing!
Great truck and I always loved that film "Duel". Thanks for the vid. Cheers from down under.
That truck is a great 'head turner'! Thanks for posting this.
its some kind of souped up diesel
I'd bet that thing turns more heads than any lambo or farrari. I think even the people who have never heard of Duel would shit themselves if they saw that in their rear view.
it would have been awesome when Steven King did Maximum Overdrive this truck did a cameo at the Dixie Boy truck stop?
I've seen something LIKE that twice in my life; the first time, I pulled off the interstate and took to the shoulder, giving him the road. Second time, I outran him until I could get off I-20!
If I owned that, I'd be so tempted to recreate the movie every time
What a rig.Great to see it never went to the crusher.That movie scared the hellout of me when I was a kid.It stilllooks the same.Well done.
you must have scared the crap out of the older generations who remembered the movie .......awesome simply awesome
WOW! What an amazing piece of movie history! It should be in a movie museum!
Love the movie grew up watching it. I'd love to have this truck. Right now I'm building a electric cardboard model of the truck which will have to duel me for now :)
Still...that music in the background...makes it terrifying
Thank you .. Took me a while to find the music.. I thought it really helped
Thank you... And yes.. I do consider myself luck for having owned it... It was quite the experience...
Brilliant....That music still creeps me out!!
WOW thats awesome!! I remember the first time i saw this movie, it scared the crap out of me, thanks for posting
I saw it in 1971 when it was first aired on TV.. and yes.. it also scared THE CRAP out of me .. lol
Imagine suddenly seeing this in your rear view mirror two feet from your bumper at 50mph! Reckon you'd need clean underwear pretty darn quick!
i watched this last night that truck was scarier than it is here
Something I noticed about the truck is that it's really not very big. They shot it from a lot of low angles in the movie to make it look much larger.
Exactly.. The first time i saw it in person " Especially The Trailer ".. i was very surprised... Nose to Tail.. it was 58 Feet..
OMG! If I saw that truck in my rear-view mirror ... let's just say only the dry cleaner would know how scared I was. HAHAHA But it is a fantastic movie.
Alicia Swofford you must be a richy rich to have your panties dry cleaned
great ''remake''
I'm from holland europe, and i remember seeing this movie as a kid with my parents, and i still can remember how
we all were jus ta scared as dennis weaver in the movie did. Aslo this remake
has some scenes that are just as good as the real movie, so this is a 5 out of 5
for sure! And what a great job to restore and preserve a movie icon like this great truck. i'll bet anyone that it would still scare the hel out of people when you drive behind them on a deserted road.
Just a great movie. That truck, it's such a bad bastard. I always assume all US trucks are built like monsters!
Thats freakin awesome, watched Duel for the first time in the middle of the night long time ago and it hasn't been the same...lol
to this day something about this truck is very sinister and creepy. great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
This truck looks grisly and menacing, it was perfect for the part in the movie. It amazed me how fast it went round the bends in the road when chasing Mann down.
I was amazed by that... Till i bought it.. The tank is really pretty low.. and it really does have a pretty low center of gravity.. and Also.. The movie made the truck look like was going 100mph.. When in reality.. the rig had Very Low Gears.. so.. it could only do about 65 tops..
RexCars1 who owns the truck now?
@GeneFrenkle73 Glad you liked the vid.. I was really an honor to own that rig.. Oh by the way ... The guy in the intersection was my neighbor.. So.. He knew it was me behind him...
That's pretty spooky,seeing the truck pull out of the driveway,in a nice quiet neighborhood!!
( took my neighbors a lil getting use to ).
That must have been amazing owning that truck. I think that if I saw it in my mirror I'd have a heart attack, it still looks so MEAN !!!
Nice to see that your neighbours left you enough room to get out and in your driveway :)
LOL....That is AWEsum !!! Had anyone noticed the "Rain Cap" take off, on start-up??? That gives the perfect touch...compression, gotta luv-it...Thanx, for this ! ! !
Man, that truck is SUPER bad ass!!
The music still gives me chills....By far one of the meanest looking rigs...Old trucks rule.
I'd drive it to work everyday. Killer old truck, killer old movie.
Makes "Christine" and "Killdozer" look like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
Slide........ Believe it or not.. This truck was almost in the movie Christine.. If you read the book.. The plymouth is killed bye a tank truck.. .. BUT they decided that a Track Loader would do a better job..
Cool'n'a-half!
Thanks
Aw man-disregard my recent post,I thought it didn't go through until I refreshed the browser,then the original post appeared. Thanks for answering my question. Dad taught me how to shift a "brownie" back in the day. Never got to be a gear jammer due to health reasons but still keep in practice with a friends 350 now and then.Need to find the dvd for my collection now!
That truck is so cool! I love it.It needs to hook up with the car from Christine.
that music is fucking eerie dude.....
This has really made my day! I'm so glad there is a movie truck still around with its tanker! pure awesomness. Merry christmas!
