A little more Hazzard Fest: the "Fall Guy" truck

This author sure wishes she could still take in those "Dukes of Hazzard" events that used to be so prolific in the South, particularly in Georgia but also in Tennessee, where the latest one just occurred this past weekend. Hazzard Fest has wrapped up in Newport, Tennessee, and our roving reporter Jason has supplied us with some great glimpses from the event. We tack on a couple more photos from Jason now, of a "Fall Guy" truck owned by our buddy Kevin in Tennessee. 

There were actually multiple "Fall Guy" trucks at the event, celebrating another popular show from this glorious TV era, this one starring our beloved Lee Majors. "This was a used truck from the show," Jason tells us. "The engine was set back farther so the jumps wouldn't destroy the truck. Meaning the weight of the engine in its stock location would cause the truck to land heavier and destroy it."

I sure wish I took more photos of the truck but it was always surrounded by people and Kevin was busy telling people the history of this awesome find. Just too many things going on at the same time sure was a great event!
