There was 4 total for the movie. And you are right, one was. Here is the website with all the info on the truck.

That show helped to influence my career path, well it and Smokey & the Bandit.  Shortly after I made up a poster of a truck pulling a flat bed with a cat on back with the caption "Big Wheels Keep Movin' On" and entered it in a Career Choice contest.  I ended up taking 3rd in the state & got a gift certificate, also had my pic in the paper.  Big time.  ;)

The guy that owns the RD truck is a nut. He's funny as all get out. Got to see this truck in person at the ATHS 08 show.
