Ford Truck is Ford Tough in Mr. Majestyk

They beat the crap out of this 1968 Ford truck in the 1974 movie Mr. Majestyk - but it was still kicking ass at the end! That's "Ford tough!" These scenes were actually used in a Ford truck commercial several years later.

just to say its a movie they probly had 10 trucks to make the scene so it cold be a in line 6 and a v8

@gonzo8000121 I remember hearing they used two trucks but pdpicklesimer posted that the director said they used six trucks. If so then there probably were both six cylinder and V8's. Six trucks seems like too many for this movie. I just can't see that many, but who knows?

[dilsride]

did that truck have the 390?

[bbigjohnson069]

@dilsride I don't know the answer to that. If you go back to the first comments, some of those guys think it sounds like a 6 cylinder. I think it's a 360 or 390 because it looks like an F-250. So it probably would have a V-8. I paused the video when the truck is airborne to look at the exhaust to see if maybe somebody had put dual exhaust on it but it is too hard to see anything. I have nearly the same truck (but F-100) and it HAD single exhaust wIth a 390 from factory. I put headers w/dual ex.

Great scene! The director said they went through 6 trucks to shoot it. He said each was was undrivable after any big jump. So much better than cgi.

@pdpicklesimer Is that information readily accessible somewhere? How did you hear about it?

[TheMustangman93]

knowing those trucks they probably only used 1, they are hard to kill

[sawtnpeppa]

can you say " oooohhh my friggin back"? no way anyone could have ridden in the back of that truck and not been thrown out

[robertgift]

Dumb woman would have thrown him out of the pickup bed.

Should have left the tailgate up.

Lousy shot athe railroad tunnel.

The soundtrack as confusing as most...has the sounds of a V8 AND a six.....some movies don't care if the soundtrack doesn't match-up....V8 sounds for cars with four cylinders...and the reverse too. As both six and V8s were used I would bet the sounds are relatively accurate.

A Ford Truck and Charles Bronson. How much tougher can you get?

[Kagaines]

When that car turned over I was like wait for it....... and boom. No car ever turned over in these movies without blowing up. lol

Part of the movie was filmed at a ranch on the outskirts of pueblo Colorado near Beulah Colorado. I've been there and there was a room named "Mr. Majestyk".
