Bluegrass, I have searched the internet far and wide to find the answer to this question. And i can find absolutely nothing. I found all kinds of interesting CB pages and movie pages and Trans Am pages.. but none of them, not even one makes mention of the type of radios used. I will keep try'n tho.. maybe "Ask Jeeves" would know.. lol.

The antenna on the TransAm looks to be the base loaded Antenna Specialist with the spring above the coil, years ago I had one. But there were several clones made by different companies. How many noticed that the tractor in the second movie was a GMC General and the first movie the tractor was a Kenworth. |
