Ah, look at Southern Arizona! Clear and clean! I was out in 60* weather changing my manual transmission fluid today! No salt or sand trucks here.

Ok, I'll stop.

As I recall, the truck in 'Raiders' was a regular truck. Not a half-track.

Happy Motoring, Mark

You're probably right. But it was definitely that style of MB truck.

Probably much easier for Indy to pull the whip trick with a regular truck with a solid rear axle.
