Yup... that's what I meant, the (Duel) Peterbilt was a "needlenose", didn't rememer 351 off the top of my head.

I guess that tapered skinny nose is why they were nicknamed that, esp. compared to the wide, fat, flat-faced

Mack tractors of the day. The Duel was a killer movie, seen it a few times. Te best part about that move was

the patina and decades-of-filth look of that Pete, esp. with the railroad track welded to the front bumper.

I first saw that movie when I was 7 or so...loved it..have seen it probably 20 times over the years.. Driving on two lane roads in CO, when I had a tanker behind me I always got nervous...esp. driving on a twisty switchback w/ no guardrails and 500-1000 ft drop offs like Loveland Pass, about 12k feet at the peak..

I kind of liked the movie 'Joy Ride' a few years ago, it definitely had a few elements reminiscent of Duel.
