I know some of you guys are into the movie set stuff,like finding places and such.Well I am going nuts trying to find out more info on the semi tractor from the movie "Maximum Overdrive" from the mid 80's. ::)
I know what you got to be thinkn ,but i loved this movie.I have searched the net ,but to no luck i can't find anything.
I just would like to know what happened to the truck or who made the goblin face for the front of the truck
All right I admit it I 'm Crazy :icon_smile_big:

The head on the main truck is based on that of Marvel Comics' Green Goblin

Try this link, the guy has an email addy to contact him, maybe he can help more.

Or maybe I'll just go to Stephen King's house tomorrow at lunch and ask him. 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but it's something anyways.

It is a late '70s White Western Star. White trucks used to make the Western Star before they went off on there own to make the truck. Also looks like it had a Kenworth or Peterbilt sleeper on it.
