On a related issue, we've been watching Simon & Simon on Hulu and they really go back and forth from the two trucks a lot. One second they're in the one and the next shot in the other. One has the straight diagonal brace on the roll which is covered in black insulation and tape, and the other (the one above) has the horizontal peice in the diagonal brace before joining the vertical bar and is only painted black. Funny I never even noticed this until palomino pointed it out. Here's a good episode where you'll see both trucks from one shot to the next...

It looks like they switched the cab and fenders somewhere during the run. In the intro the cab and front fenders match the bed. 8-)

Did you see the episode where Rick avoids traffic?

I've saw them all on network television. Never missed it! I attribute Simon & Simon as the reason I took a liking to Machos in the first place! I've been in "hog heaven" since Hulu began offering the episodes. The interplay between the two brothers is what makes the show work. Don't make them like they used to...

before 28.54 of the show you can see it real good durring the 28.55 second as they talk in the cab you can see the different roll bar through the rear glass.
then after the 28.55 mark it is slanted again.

Yeah, different trucks. :oops:

Once you look for it it's easy to see.
