Yes!, RD Trucking


'Rubber Ducks' business (as played by Kris Kristofferson.
SWMBO thinks he looked great, in the film

Three differing versions of the basic song, this is (obviously) the film version, not the inferior UK 7" single release

It was the C.W. McCall version

It was the C.W. McCall version

The version I linked is CW McCall, but the wording of the verses was different for the single

The above has a "Bulldog Mack, with a can on the back, & a Jagwar hauling ass"

UK single has a '"Cabover Pete with a Reefer on, & a Jimmy hauling hogs" (almost correct, as PigPens truck was a GMC)


Sorry for being pedantic, but even after 37 years since its release, it's still probably one of my top 15 films (along with 'Smokey & The Bandit')
