I found some pics of Green Goblins evil "twin". I also got some info on it as well.

It was a 1989 Western Star 4964 used. I think it had a Cummins diesel becuase it was quieter that a CAT or a Detroit. However the truck that "came back" at the end, was not the same tractor.

The ways you can tell, the rims (has 5 spoke rims as the Western Star had the normal steel 10 lug wheels), has what was round dual headlights, it was also single exhaust and it was different by it having a muffler and the stack was shorter in height. The Western star did not have mufflers on the sides of the cab, it had straight 5 inch dual pipes with heat gaurds with the pips alsmot as high as the trailer height. Of course me having lots of knowledge with trucks, I noticed these right off the spot.

Now, it is quite interesting how both movies (Trucks and Maximum Overdrive) used Wester Star trucks, with one being a White Western Star, but one was a 1978 White Wester Star, and this was a 1989 Western Star.

Great eye Pete. It is also very obvious that the Frieghtliner COE that runs into the electrical station on the highway is a differebt truck during the crash.

Thanks. Oh yes. You know I completely forgot about that. It was a Freightliner COE before the crash. It is believed that the truck that crashed and then burning was a 1976 Freightliner. Makes sense.
