Every time I see that truck and hear the music I smile. Great show. ... and I am 51 now.
😉👍
Same and I'll be 51 this year!
That roll bar with the offroad lights is just pure 80s
Rocky's truck from Rockford files had same setup nearly 10 years b4. Short bed roll bar kc hilighters. The whole deal. They do exist
back in mid 70s and on the start of four wheel drive lift kits and large tires craze!
@@freedomforall5071 we had a farm truck with monster 15s. In 68. But could not steer it
If 80s, it's early 80s as this was big in the late 70s. First one I saw was a mini truck abomination. Man those were everywhere Datsun, Toyotas. Jacked way up on 33s.
So many of those were light bars only made of super thin wall tubing
Not one scene with Heather Thomas! C’mon CarStarz. I loved that show as a teenager.
Or Markie Post
Yep, took a lot of effort to stay focused on the truck with all the very lovely ladies in that show 😉
Or even Jo Ann Pflug
HEATHER THOMAS!!!! nuff said
I had a poster of Heather Thomas in the 80's.😎
I remember watching this show as a kid. Lee Majors was a big deal after The Six Million Dollar Man, so it was great to see him back. Excellent video!
Indeed he was and thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍
I remember watching him on Big Valley
As a kid i loved this show and that beautiful flying truck... Still until today its a timeless, nice classic car.
Absolutely agree with you 👍
Another cool TV truck worth mentioning is the 1979 Dodge 3/4 ton Power Wagon from Simon and Simon.
Yep, that one is already on my list to look into. Thanks.
great call! My father had that truck. He bought it new in 1979, the year I was born. I think Dodge called it the "Honcho package"? The truck was honestly a lemon...something was always wrong with it.
Macho package
@@nathanday2595right!
Don't give Hollywood any ideas for ruining the classic 80s TV hits
its funny to watch this because when i was a child watching The Fall Guy i always thought the truck was blue.... then it dawned on me. We had a black and white tv. lol. thanks for the history.
Lol, glad you got to see it in color now 😉
That means you are old like me 🤠
Loved this show as a kid and still do. I always wanted a model of Colt's truck but the original model kits on a certain selling site were way too expensive until one day I saw a video for the Deserter truck model kit. On closer inspection it turned out that it can be built as Colt's truck. Of course I had to get aftermarket decals but at least I can now add it to the collection
Indeed, I used to do a lot of model kits as a kid as well and also got the Deserter when it released as well, great model🙂👍
I Know Of A Company That Sells The Fall Guy Decals For The Deserter
I always loved that show and Colt's truck!
A lot of detail in this episode! Excellent job. Yay the little RC cars were hilarious and fooled nobody.
Thanks, yeah I didn't intend for it to end up so long; but I do love that show and truck, so it was hard to stop, lol 😁
I bet the model trucks used weren’t as noticeable on the grainy 20 inch TVs that were common then.
@@CarStarz42oh, don't worry about your episodes getting too long. Especially about Fall Guy, I would have watched ten minutes no worries.
@mattrodgers4878 true at 480p, but the way the RC cars moved was a dead giveaway. I watched enough toy commercials as a kid to be an expert, lol
@@andrebartels1690 Good deal, thanks 👍
When I was a child, I wanted one of these or John Baker's truck on CHiPs.
That truck started my love for jacked up rigs and it has cost me a lot of money over the decades! I am sure I am not the only one. As a kid of 10 when this show first televised, I was so mad they crashed so many trucks.....same with Dukes!
I loved this show as a kid and if I had been fortunate enough to be wealthy as an adult, a mockup of the Fall Guy truck would be in my car collection along with the A Team Van, General Lee, BJ & The Bear Kenworth & Crockett's Ferrari Testarossa...
That's a pretty nice dream collection!!
I had always heard the jump trucks were mid engined with custom chassis but never seen such detailed photos before.
The fall guy and the rockford files two of my favourite TV shows as a kid and both had superb theme tunes
Cool, and I do have Rockford's car on my to do list too 😉👍
I watched this as a kid in Germany. I always told myself that I'll have a truck like that. Then I moved to the States, and bought one. I now have all episodes, although in German. Every once in a while I watch one, still fun. Great show and thanks for the video!
😉👍
John Baker had a pretty nice blue step side GMC on CHIPS. Ponch an early 70's Firebird saved from a fire. You might do a dual episode on them. John raced the truck in a BAJA type race and jumped it.
Indeed, those are already on my long list to look into at some point as well. Thanks
@@CarStarz42Judge Hardcastle had a nice 80s GMC stepside on Hardcastle and McCormick as well
@@equalizer2233 Yep, that show is already on my list to look into. Thanks 😉👍
My favorite show as a kid. I had the lunch box too
The dodge truck in simon and simon was cool too
Dodge power wagon,not sure the year maybe 77 or 78.
I loved this show when I was a kid
The show was my favourite back then. Thank you for this super episode. ❤
Indeed one of the greats! You're very welcome and glad you enjoyed it🙂👍
Loved this show as a youngster and later owned a 1980 GMC High Sierra PU and did a lift kit ,roll bar, 36''wheel/tires, front griil guard etc etc,
Those long wheel base trucks rode great even with the stiffer susp.
Cool 😉👍
This was a great show. I wish they would release a DVD set.
Indeed, if nothing else; hopefully that movie release next March will push a proper and complete disc/streaming release 😉👍
I have the first season on DVD.
1 of 5 leaves a lot to be desired ;-)@@sweets6865
I have the DVD set.
Of all the cool 70's/80's TV vehicles. The one that didn't get enough love was Tony Danzas Van from Who's the Boss
😅
It also appeared to have magical powers, because you can often see parts smashed and flying off during the jumps, but in the next shot it's as good as new and even highly polished!
😉
Loved this show and Heather Thomas! 😎
Last year I saw a snow plow truck advertised for bid from a local school. It is the same color scheme as the Colt truck. I thought about this show when I was bidding on it.
I showed my kid the pic of truck before going to get it and he said, "Ya know that truck you just bought is a short wide box, It's worth more than the plow on it..."
I was only concerned with keeping the mile long driveway open when the snow falls. My brother inlaw was pretty happy to have a heated truck to plow with instead of a 4 wheeler that takes all day.
Love these videos!
One of my memories from this show was an episode in which Colt swung the truck around and was going down the road 55+ in reverse!
Reminds me of Burt Reynolds in the movie Hooper did the same DAMN thing and notice the front axle is mounted from the bed and the rear axle mounted under the front.
@@brandedmcgowan9414 probably where they got the idea!
Just goes to show the power of American TV... The two vehicles I would most love to own would be The Fall Guy Truck and The Bandit car...God bless you America ❤ from the UK 🇬🇧
LOL, indeed 😉👍
I got a model of the truck at Christmas in 1984 when I was 7 years old. Still have it to this day. What a machine
Cool indeed 😉👍
The good old days are over, that is what I thought. Back in the day when these shows went off the air, who would have thought we would be able to see these shows on dvd and all the streaming stuff today. I thought I would never see these great shows again. Vehicles from these shows were the best.
My son is named after Colt Seaver, born in 82! 👍
1981 !? I watched that show religiously. 1983
thanks .. FALL GUY = AWESOME.... IT WAS THE BEST IF YOU WERE A KID WATCHING IT...
You're welcome and definitely true there. Awesome as an adult, mind blowing as a kid! 😉👍
I loved this show as a kid. My parents bought me a 1/24 AMC model kit of the truck which I built and promptly jumped off the stairs… it didn’t end well (it didn’t have the reinforced axles 🤪). Today that kit unopened is worth some good coin 😅
LOL, a tragic end like that to a lot of kits and toys back in the day for sure!
I am pretty sure I built no less than 5 of those same models, most (all) of which met that same fate. Possibly with the help of some “black cats” . I guess I learned at an early age that few issues in life can’t be solved with a suitable application of explosives.
@@ScottCormell LOL, indeed most of my models were imperfect enough that they met a similar fate; I'm just glad I didn't discover sparkler bombs until I was an adult or I probably wouldn't have enough fingers left to be able to type this right now! 😁
They do. I bought one a few years back. . It cost rather alot. But never mind I allways wanted on to go with all the other movie cars I have. Wasn't as expensive as the 1,24 convoy mack tho.
Pulled out the DVD set and watched some episodes last weekend. Growing up ,when that theme song came on I was glued to the TV
😁👍
As a child, one of my favorite TV shows! I remember having a Matchbox version of this pickup.
(no idea if Matchbox cars were a thing anywhere else in the world, today i think there's only "Hot-Wheels" left and Matchbox went out of business long ago)
Thanks for providing videos with not a ton of commercials.
What a great darn channel. Making my way through and having so much fun. Being a 51 year old guy that grew up on all this stuff.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel, makes it all worth it 😉👍
This was one of my favorite TV shows! In the 80s I wish one of the classic TV channels! Would bring it back!
I'm hopping for a full Blu-ray set release myself 😉👍
I loved that show, I love that truck!
One of the greats for sure!
Loved that show!
As a HARDCORE FORD MAN, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TRUCK!!!!!
I'm the proud owner of a '75 F250 Highboy, and I'm currently, pouring money into her!! But the '70's and '80's beloned to GMC!!!!
If I had Jay Leno money, i would recreate my childhood...
Joseph "Rocky" Rockford GMC Sierra Classic
Jon Baker CHiPs '66 Austin Mini Cooper and '77 GMC K15 Fenderside
Colt Seavers '81 GMC K2500 Sierra Grande
Rick Simon '79 Dodge PowerWagon Macho Edition
B.A. Baracus '79 GMC Vandura Van
Awesome 😉👍
My dad named me after this character so I’m very excited to see the new movie
Cool 👍
I really enjoy that tv series back in those days….
Indeed one of the greats 😉👍
Good video. It was short, to the point, and accurate in both having the dialogue match the pictures. So many videos today would have had dialogue about a 1984 GMC truck and shown at new Ford or old Dodge about that time. Aircraft videos typically are horrible, often showing planes not even around at the time of the subject of the video.
Thanks much and glad you liked it! 👍
I remember making a model of that truck when I was like 12 or so. Parked it right next to the General Lee model,and later the Hardcastle and McCormick Coyote. Excellent video
Same here, I spent a lot of time on models as a kid. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Great show and what a perfect truck for the show.
I wanted this truck so much when i was a kid !
Indeed 😉👍
One of my favorite shows.
Same here 😉👍
Fact # something: The doors on the sides of the bed were for access to the engine on the mid engine stunt trucks, and were written in as tool/gear boxes to explain them in the show.
Couldn't be as the stunt trucks didn't have them as I mentioned in the video. 😉
Yarp it was to stop the jump truck landing as bad , if I remember correctly
Not true, as the one and only mid-engine truck did not appear until the end of Season 2, long after the compartment truck had already been in use on the series for almost two seasons. And as already stated, none of the stunt trucks ever had compartments. There were a couple trucks that did have a steel panel to simulate the compartment, but it was in no way a real compartment.
@@elburno454 It sounds like I've been misled - for decades! Read that in a magazine I don't know how many years ago.
@@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus it happens. They may have just worded it weird in the magazine and confused people. The engine actually sits under the cab on the mid-engine truck and there is a little "doghouse" covering it between the driver and passenger seat.
LOL! @7:45-7:46, you KNOW that was a mannequin of some kind in the passenger seat. I loved the way it just slammed into the dash when the truck landed!
Indeed, lol😉👍
I loved how Lee Majors actually made a camio during the ending scene.
I haven't seen the movie, but from what I've heard, that was actually the best part of the movie.
I allways loved the little head wobble they did when landing a huge jump. A little back and forwards in the seat and a head shake. Specially the one after jumping over the porsche .
The theme song for this show was awesome!
Out of all of the tv and movie cars I have always loved this truck the most.
😉👍
"Im not the type to kiss and tell, but I've been seen with Farra" Another one of my favorites as a kid, great video as always brother!
Indeed it was a great one! Thanks and glad you enjoyed it 👍
My Sierra Ruby will definitely be seeing the new Fall Guy movie. The truck is her biggest hero…
Awesome thank you, the Fall Guy is my all time favourite tv series I’ve watched the original run in the early 80’s and it’s the greatest tv series in my heart ❤
You are welcome friend and it certainly is one of the greats for sure 👍🏻
The big rivalry where I grew up was the GMC Sierra and the Power Wagon. The Ramcharger, Silverado and Bronco were also mixed into the fray, but those two were mainly it.
Thanks for this. Me and my friends at primary school liked the show that much we called our playground gang the Fall Guy Gang and our mothers embroidered those words in red cotton on the back of our jackets. So glad I didn’t achieve my 9 year old dreams and become a stuntman.
Cool and glad you enjoyed it😉👍
That hidden compartment is awesome. Love the two tones paint jobs also. Very bad ass.
Indeed, everything is just awesome on this truck! 😉👍
I was a fan of the six million Dollar Man and Fall Guy. That show made me want to become a stunt man. As I'm sure it did a lot of kids back then.
Excellent breakdown and analysis - thank you for keeping these memories alive. ~ Chuck
You're very welcome and glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Excellent video and a FG fan very good, worked at a GMC dealer ar time and spec truck out even with discount price was. Near 8k. yikes
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u Yeah, I guess shiny things are always comparatively expensive for any time period 😁
@@CarStarz42 might want to do a analysis. Of RockyS TRUCK. FROM 74TO77. FROM. ROCKFORD. FILES
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u Yeah, that show is already on my long list list to look into. Thanks 😉👍
Loved this truck along side the Power Wagon from Simon & Simon TV show.
😉👍
Some other trivial facts: 1) Lee Majors swore he would never do another TV serine's again after the Six Million Dollar Man. Glen Larson promised he would have fun doing this one and he reluctantly agreed. 2) Lee Majors sings the theme song on the intro. 3) The intro song was also a sarcastic slap in the face to his ex wife when he sings "I'm not the kind to kiss and tell but I've been seen with Farrah"
Heather Thomas AND Markie Post. What a cast.😊
Markie " Hotness " Post RIP🙏
her character drove a Fiero but stunt cars were Fiats
🥺🙄🤔
I'm surprised that the producers didn't consult the desert off-road racers for suspension modifications. The trucks back then were a lot more stock than they are now. I was a huge fan of SCORE.
Indeed and they even had a class for those style of trucks back then too. My guess is that they just wanted to keep everything as cheap as possible and try doing everything themselves and their way. It all worked out fine though for sure :-)
Yes, you can never beat the original! Enough with the remakes!
That truck was my hero..... although my best mate at the time was called Lee major...miss you Lee ❤
😉👍
If I could have one movie or TV vehicle, it would be this truck.
One of my favorite shows
😉👍
Cool, Truck, cool show 😀
Indeed! 😉👍
Huge fan of the show and I had no clue a movie was coming! Hope it will be worth the wait.
Indeed, sure hope it will be at least decent😉👍
I used to love that show when I was teen
Great show
My GF owns a 1981 in factory blue that I've been repairing since december. In fact, her father purchased it for her right before her 16th birthday. Needless to say, it's her baby. Although, hers is factory blue and I've had everything down to the rims, bumpers, running boards, roll bar and anything else you can think of powder coated black. At the moment, it runs and looks better than new. It's an iconic truck and deserves no less.
Sounds cool indeed 😉👍
@@CarStarz42 What's really cool is the new stroked up small block 350 crate motor that I just installed. The original small block only put out about 160 horsepower. Conversely, this cranks out over 300. In other words, bigger brakes and a hydroboost. LOL
@@dr.fitprofessor4363 Nice 🙂👍
Awesome video. Thanks for putting this together!
Most welcome and glad you enjoyed it!
that show taught me how to drive. Needless to say, I wrote off a lot of cars in my younger days.
😉👍
Grew up watching this show
Great video, thanks for posting this gem!
My pleasure and glad you enjoyed it😉👍
1:50 you’re telling me the Rivian Tunnel, with pull out drawer, was first seen on the Fall Guy 30 years ago?! That’s Amazing!
Lol, pretty much.
Oh' and a HUGE thanks to you my friend for the Super Thanks donation! That's my first time receiving one of those! Thanks again 🙂👍
I loved this truck!
😉👍
I loved this show. This truck is iconic just like Simon & Simon's Dodge Power Wagon.
Indeed 😉👍
Thank you for your knowledge 🇬🇧
You're welcome and Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍
Thank you CarStarz!! I’m 100% with you on the possible Blu-ray/DVD release!! Had no idea The Fall Guy used miniatures as well, at some point. Now I want to see those episodes!! Especially since Markie Post joined the cast in the later seasons!! 👏😎🙏
You're welcome and yep; I'm REALLY hoping for a complete disc set release like that next year some time.
Totally agree with you about getting a complete series. I hope you have gotten some of the greenlight Fall Guy diecast
You bet! Got a lot of greenlights. I especially love the monster truck series! 😁👍
Best opening intro to any TV series. Loved that show.
Indeed addictive!
John's Chevy stepside from chips is hard to beat.
Mostly stock, very stylish.
Hollywood stunts aside.
Indeed, the Chips vehicles are on my list to look into eventually too. Thanks
awesome. been waitin' for this one. thank you sir.
I friggin loved this truck
Me too 😉👍
Thanks for the video, I'm a huge Colt Severs, Steve Austin fan.
You're welcome and glad you enjoyed it.
Best looking GMC ever made. I owned a' 77 Jimmy. Loved it. Edit: Two tone paint jobs were the best.
Nice and indeed! 😉👍
Fact #11: I loved Heather Thomas! I had all of her posters, as well. ❤❤❤
She was a knock out of a chick for sure! 👍
As a kid back then - this truck looked amazing big with big ole wheels & high suspension - jumping shit. Cool truck
Indeed 😉👍
Great video. Thank you
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
i love that show one of the best back in the day
For sure. 👍
MeTv should bring this show back on-air❤❤❤
😉👍
A local station has done a Fall Guy marathon a few times in the past few years. One of my favorites along with the Dukes of Hazard and Knight Rider. I always liked that truck. Plenty of 2 wheel drives versions around me and used to own one but I've never seen a 4x4 that I recall.
Cool 😉👍
Good video! I always loved that truck!
Thanks, indeed one badass pickup 😉👍
