I was bored so i checked out the movie "Men who stare at goats". Not really my type of flick, but it was entertaining.

I saw this one. It was a beautiful truck. I started getting all excited, and my wife was just shaking her head.

Watching "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson the other day and saw what looked like a '66 D100 in the 8th minute. Not Jack's best film but worth seeing the first 8 minutes just for a look at another Swepty.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah its definetly a sickness, reading this thread and men getting just as excited about trucks and they do about women (well I hope so) the good thing is we can see a Sweptline and say "Wow thats a sharp truck" and walk up and look it over good, and our spouses shouldn't get mad about us checkin them out. :lol: :dance :clap notice I said "shouldn't" but in my "doghouse" is the 68 Sweptline and all my tools, and stero, along with TV, I spend alot of time their anyway :lol: :lol:

Watching the Original V The Series tonight. In The Champion there was a dark brown 69-71 Sweptline. Missing the grille and tailgate and beat up but fun to see!

Yip I just saw that one the other night also. V is one of my favorite old series!
It is a 69, the grill is gone, but the turn signals are still in place.

Oddly, my wife picked up on the crew in Overboard and Christmas Vacation
being the same, before I did. Of course she watches both of those movies
way more than I do!

The movie "The Glory Stompers" has a 4 headlight truck sitting on the side of the road in one scene. The funny thing is this movie contains very few cars/trucks, even in the background, but is 98% motorcycles.

Watched a good movie the other night called "Thunderheart" with Val Kilmer. it was filmed in the badlands of n. dakota. There was a really nice crew parked in a field at the old indian's place. looked to be a 68 and was in damn nice shape for an abandoned truck. good flick too!!

HBO has a series on right now called "True Blood" (vampires - meh). Anyway, the plotline is located down rural Louisiana, so there are lots of interesting country folk.

Last week they introduced a new character, "Crystal" and I'll be darned - she drives a Sweptie!

She may be ignorant and slighly in-bred, but the girl has good taste in trucks.

I saw the very first episode of The A-Team last night. Within the first 5 minutes there was a guy being chased while driving a 69-71 multi-colored D100. It had no doors on it and no grille either. Unfortunately the episode is continued tonight and I'll miss half of it so I won't get to see if the truck appears in any other scenes.

There was no A-Team van. B.A. first drove a Studebaker Lark convertible and then he switched to a 68 Impala convertible. Also the guy who played Face was an imposter. I didn't know Dirk Benedict wasn't there from the beginning.


I also saw 2 large sweptlines in the movie The Last American Hero. It is a movie with a lot of stock car racing from the early 70s.
