    I used to watch BJ and the Bear when I was a kid I'm 55 years old I'm glad that you got this truck and trailer man it's beautiful God bless you

    What a gorgeous replica! B.J. and the Bear came out when I was a little kid, and my Dad was driving trucks. This paint scheme on a cabover is as close to my heart as the Dukes of Hazard's Charger paint scheme!
    I'm glad this truck is in the hands of someone who really loves it and takes care of it. Soon there won't be anyone left who remembers the T.V. show, and why cabovers were developed in the first place.

Bob and Jacob are great people to talk with all the time. I'm glad to have met them both and look forward to seeing them in the future!

    I saw this truck 12 years ago, in the S.F. Bay area, at a warehouse: at that time the side panels on the trailer were still white. I chatted with the owner, and asked if I could take a pic of it, and he opened up his briefcase and handed me a pic, which I still have! (And just looked at)
    Always wondered whatever happened to it: glad to see it's still out there.

    I was lucky to see and get video of that truck at the 2011 Truckin' For Kids Show in Irwindale, California when it was still with Ownby Trucking. Looking back at it now, my video is very "non-HD" and unimpressive. I'm glad to see that you got really nice coverage of it, and you got a good interview to go along with it to tell the story. I'm happy the story of this truck will continue with a loving and caring owner.

Both trucks had no trailers in a parking lot for a photo shoot or TV show/movie. Not sure if this was the truck or not, but looks very similar...
