1955 or 1956 in an older movie.

Had a heart attack so decided to stream some movies and watch stuff I've never had time to. I chose Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band from 1978.
Lo and behold, there was a 55 or 56 Chevy in it. I took video clips of it and posted it for more to enjoy.

I thought the movie was great, but it had received BAD reviews and did not do well back in 1978.

Most of my 67-72truck time is spent in the 67-72 forums as I own a 70 Fleetside.

Enjoy!

Bill

My kids are at a point where they tell me when they see a TF truck in a commercial or on TV. They found one in an animated show several months ago, but I'll be danged if I can remember which one.

Mater's a bit of a mix. Mater as a TF isn't the same truck.






Note the lack or wraparound front glass, A pillars visible from front, headlights above radiator support.

The '59 International is close too. Look at position of upper headlights and shape of cab around A pillar"
