I just learned that John Schneider's wife, Alicia has passed away. I don't know any details, but one thing I do know is that John would appreciate the privacy at this time. John, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I am praying for you. I spoke quite a bit with Alicia at Bo's and also at Hazzard Fest as well. She was very sweet to me and always struck me as someone who was so smart with a big heart, strong head, and just a rockstar overall. John, stay strong through this hard time, and try to take comfort in knowing that your Smile is no longer suffering, and she has found peace. As for us in Hazzard Nation, may we come together and put differences aside to pray for John and Alicia's family through this hard time, while also respecting their privacy. God bless. Much love to you John, Alicia will be greatly missed. ❤🙏

The grills for the Chevrolet C10 and the GMC and body parts where interchangeable because they are both made by General Motors.

20's woman in an SUV backed into the side of my mate's '49 Merc, and then got mad at HIM for being pissed, demanding to know why he was so upset over "just a crappy old car". Anyone your generation putting the time and effort into making videos about the iron we once sent to scrap and now regret in our nightly dreams (when i was driving age, any of those trucks were maybe a hundred bucks, and a '69 Charger could be had for $500) .. Well, son .. that's a like and subscribe. Nice vid, nice work.

love that you are such a fan of one of my childhood favs. i grew up on dukes,nightrider,A-team, and airwolf. thank you for helping keep memories going. FJB!!!

Extremely, extremely through documentation of Cooter’s tow trucks, 💯 well done 👍 👏

Great job! Wow a lot of research went into this and I'm sure many of your videos! Thanks!

Found your channel today...I'm 54 and you have completely rekindled my love for the Dukes of Hazzard!!! Keep going👍👍 btw, I'm a proud Michigander as well. I also respect the Rebel flag as Uncle Jesse did

I'm glad they worked so hard to put all these details into Cooters' trucks for us to sort out 40-plus years later.

I'm so glad you talked about the yellow Ford towtruck! I don't know why it stuck in my memory but it has. I actually think of it first, before the '67 Ford.

Subscribed! Thank you. Just when I think I knew all there was to know about this show,,, people like you put out a video like this! Love it.

Thanks for the hard work you put In so we can enjoy these videos!

Thanks for making your videos on the Dukes! I was a kid and a teen during their heyday.

Nice Video. Very well put together. Loved the fact of how the tow truck ended with Xfiles!

Damn chunkey!!! You do some great investigative work! And make it a blast to watch…. Thanks

Good stuff! That must've been a ton of video to watch to get all of these details. Thanks for all of your hard work, and the nostalgia trip. I subbed!

I've always wondered about the 1972 or 71 Blazer/Jimmy that was always in the background around the courthouse square in mostly the later seasons. I'd love to own one like it. It was bright red or orange

I love your research on this topic. It's really interesting all the different tow trucks and trucks that were used in the series. Keep up the great videos.

Uncle Jesse's truck would be a good one. Excellent film sir and I mean that. Your research skills are unbelievable. Really enjoyed this, I'm old and remember watching it when it wasant re runs. I was young and it left a very good impression on me. Even with gas prices I still rock an american V8. Used to do some of the stunts lol. Thanks for the memories my friend, from a time when the world wasant a cesspool. Even the damn theme song is better than the crap on the radio now.🚗🚓🚚

I'm trying to build a 1:24 scale Cooter's Tow Truck. I know the Revell kit sold is not something that was ever used on the show. Your video has provided me with lots of info to help and to build something show correct, ish. As a YT creator, I can only image the effort that went into this video. Thank you SO much!!

Grew up watching the Duke Boys, and had the pleasure of living near Sperryville VA, and playing bluegrass with cooter and company many times over the corse of 15 years or so. Hes a nice old man, and really liked my Martin. I was sad when he closed up shop and moved. Im in NC now, but I still stop by the old Cooters place when I'm passing through Sperryville, and sit on the picnic table out back and watch the overfilled stream. Thanks for teaching me some stuff I didn't know.

Great video! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the shout out for my Junkyard page. Happy to help if you ever want to cover some more Dukes vehicles.

Your effort regardless of tiny mistakes made is appreciated, I just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to more of your videos

First time seeing your channel and first video of yours I watched. I'm impressed! I knew the trucks changed, but with Daisy running around, never paid close attention to them. A shame the final rig got blown up.

Your video popped up on my home page when I logged in. Finally, KZfaq sends something I actually enjoy! New sub!

Good job on the video. I love cars especially trucks even more. I like how you are right on about all the trucks in the entire series. Dukes of Hazzard was one of my all time favorite show's growing up in the 70's and 80's. Keep the video's coming brother.

Hey CM. Great topic on Cooter's trucks over the years and you are an awesome person overall, man. God bless and keep in touch, my friend. Hope to hear from you soon, bro. -MG

I am someone who has never seen dukes of hazard but has a love for old wreckers. The wreckers they used all towed with a sling except for the yellow Ford. Sling towing is where they hook a chain around the front axles of a car and lift with the winch. It’s really rough as the weight of the car is resting on two thin chairs and it scrapes the metal and rips the up paint. The black straps on all but the yellow Ford are so the chains don’t rip at the front of the car. (I recommend looking up sling towing on KZfaq to get an idea of how it’s done) The fork looking things on the yellow Ford hold the tires up off the ground, which is much better for the car. It probably has a hydraulic tow bed which would be incredibly valuable back then as it was unheard of until the mid 90s. I think they knew the Ford was valuable and were too afraid to wreck it. Also, at 13:00 you might notice the truck isn’t the 67 Ford. The boom is different. I think it’s a Holmes 440. An eight thousand pound wrecker boom, which is used on, and only on the fourth GMC. It appears to have made an earlier appearance. Great video I thought you might find all this interesting.

You just keep amazing me my friend. I thought I had duke knowledge but you. My man. Your on another level! Iv said it before but I gotta say it again. Thank you sir for these videos. Cheers from British Columbia👌

Wow,first off nice job on the tow trucks ,especially its last filming .second I never thought I would have watched something like this .thanks for the exposure of my high white trash ...

I think you are 100% right about why they used the older truck in "Goodbye General Lee". They didn't want to potentially loose the yellow F350 as it was probably in much better shape. After all it was almost a new truck at the time.

i haven’t looked up stuff about doh but i’ve been a fan since i was a little kid, and also didn’t think i’d sit through a video on all of cooter’s tow trucks but i actually loved the video, this was a cool one to watch and i’ll check out more of your stuff 🤙

Cool video. I drove an F350 tow truck back in the late 80s/early 90s and it was very similar to Cooter's first F350.

Just to add to the red whit and blue 1/64 truck the mpc model kit from the time of the show was a 72 Chevy with the red push bar, this may also be an explanation for its inclusion in the many replicas

I thank you for your hard work on this. I manage to get to drive general Lee look alike here in the UK. Good fun .stay safe all

Great video! I grow up watching the Dukes was my favorite show really sucks they took it off the air. Lucky I have the hole series on DVD so I can watch it anytime and share it with my grandsons. Just found your channel subbed you looking forward to watching more. Great channel! Thanks for sharing and take care👍👍👍

I'm big fan dukes of Hazzard for years since little 😂😂 Alabama

I like antique malls also. I'm into Aurora Thunderjet Slot Cars, Aurora A/FX, and A/FX MagnaTraction slot cars. There are several Antique malls around me. I've seen a Dukes of Hazzard lunch box with Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer on it for $150.00. But not much else. I did see a Snap On Tool coffee mug with John Schneider on it.

Watching the show when I was young, I never really payed much attention to Cooter's tow trucks. I just thought that since he was a mechanic, he had several trucks, and just chose the truck needed for what he was called out to tow. Some of the trucks have tow dollies, and others were sling towers, and depending on the size or condition of the disabled vehicle, he just grabbed the one he needed. When he got a call on the CB radio, what ever truck he was in, that's the one he drove, to 'run interference'. Which ever one was out front at the time.

Just received my Cooters 1:18 scale tow Truck with autograph also two days ago the Wife ordered me the 1:18 General Lee and a few shirts and Roscoe is 164 scale, model cop car x2 . Also wanted to say I appreciate your channel its one on my favorite God bless and keep it between the ditches!

I grew up in my dad's shop and usually had stained clothes and grime under my nails. In junior high I started getting called "Cooter". I still run into old friends that call me that. Strange thing is I actually resemble him quite a bit.

Another great video great job keep them coming

How Roscoe and Boss never got their ass beat from the shenanigans they pulled is mind boggling 😂😂😂

Awesome job..... just loved it. Your research and knowledge blows me away. Love you son!

Interesting information about the tow trucks. According to the research that Kibbe and friends co-host corndog did. The Dukes of Hazzard production leased the tow trucks when they would start a season, and returned them when they went on break.

thank God for replica tow trucks!

What a great video you got here, nice work sir

Lmbo at That head popping up at 8:23 Great reporting, and Very interesting! First time seeing your channel.

I'd be willing to bet that the yellow f350 was kept by the WB vehicle crew to use. That was a modern tow truck at the time and they would have had several in their fleet.

The views on this is insane and awesome video brother!

The towing system on the back of the yellow tow truck would not let the general Lee bump up to it it did not have a flat bumper they could not use it

well researched and presented. thank you

I hollered HEY COOTER!! To you across Walmart and u didn't didn't hear me the other day

My many restless sleepless nights and not knowing why. Now I can rest easy. Thank you.

Very injoyable and interesting 🤔. Thanks for sharing.

I’d love to know more about Daisy’s road runner!

I will add that the production crew actually used Cooter’s tow truck to move wrecked / disabled cars while off camera. Most likely why they added the wood bumper and reinforced the rubber on the one truck with 55 screws at the top 😂

Just came across your channel and subscribed

Nice video of all his trucks and great research. I actually have the actors autograph on the trunk on one of my toy General Lee's

I am thinking of getting this truck. Its on sale now. BTW, found your channel through your filiming locations video. Good stuff.

One of the best shows ever !!!!!

That was fun to watch. Thank you very much

Thank you for the video very informative

I'm definitely looking forward to the video tomorrow.

I never noticed the unit 2 on the door. Not to mention Cooter having so many trucks. While watching I did notice the yellow truck did not have unit 2 on it.

I loved the video! I think you should do something about Boss Hogg's car. That would be interesting to find out about that.

Amazing about the Tow Trucks on Dukes Of Hazzard and so wild !

Great video, man keep it up🤘🤘.

Great video and Info Thanks.

Yep It is a great show, which is about loving your neighbor. ❤️☮️🕊️

The reason that the red white and blue tow truck was used for the cliff scene is that the 67 was a cable drawn hoist where it can be moved out of the way , the yellow 1979 ford is a wheel loader where the forks can only be put up out of the way , the boom of it sticks passed the wrecker body about 2 feet passed it so that the boom can extend out and down to put the forks in between wheels and be strapped, rather than the 67 a cable drawn has a hook and a set of chains and a thick rubber shield aka the saddle part where that also can be used to push vehicles if positioned right or in this case stop a vehicle, it wasn't because it was older of a truck it was the damage it would do to the General Lee if they used the yellow 79. And to people who know tow trucks which was a larger part of the population of men back then especially watching it , it would be alot more realistic having a rubber saddle in the way to catch the car without damaging it than the 79 with a wheel loader boom that would damage the entire center of the car even with the forks positioned up for driving there is still about 6- 8 inches of boom sticking out .....

John I’m so sorry about your wife May she rest in peace and you are in my prayers at this difficult time

Ye when I was holiday shopping I bought to of the big 1/18th scale general Lee's and I was thinking about buying two tow trucks for my general Lees but just ran out but I'm glad ben Jones is selling the big orange charger and then giving us decal kits letting the general Lee live on forever

Hell yeah, great video

I like the change of tow trucks over seasons and bringing back trucks that you’ve seen in previous seasons because if you think about it he is a mechanic and owns a junkyard with no mechanic or junkyard dude is just gonna have one tow truck so that’s what I really like about it is that they were thinking other than them Just keeping Cooter in the same truck for all seasons and then for real I think that’s how they kept the People on their toes because you would never know if the boys will be driving General Lee I mean just instead of them just being in that one car all the time they were thinking about the person watching at home Specially when you see the tow trucks being different tow trucks and then in another episode seeing the tow truck with Cooters sticker on it kind of makes you imagine that you know Cooters Buying trucks out there

Awesome video D!

The video was awesome and I'd love to see one about Daisy's Roadrunner.

Growing up watching the show, I always wondered why there were so many different vehicles used as Cooter's tow trucks.....a few of which I'd forgotten about until now. I too used to chuckle when I'd see different trucks used in the same episode....lol. The one I can identify the most from the show with is the GMC, but my favorite was the 67 F-350 since I grew up with a Bumpside (still like them too, as they're definitely not as often seen as the GM trucks of the same era)Until recently I never knew about the X Files destroying the last GMC truck, was certainly sad to see it's fate, but I'm somewhat surprised it was still around to that point....too bad a Dukes collector couldn't have discovered and saved it somehow.....ah well, it lives on in film at least.

OH yeah and I once owned a 4dr coronet, green. Was painting the house n cleaned out the paint brush with a big X across the roof. Thanks for the video. I hope to see The museum, sure be nice if Tina as there to.....R carma?

keep up the great content i learned some things about the dukes of Hazzard that i didn't know. 22:28 maybe a video about uncle jesses cars and trucks that would be. pretty interesting

I love the dukes of hazard and All of cooter’s tow trucks

Cooter had a resturant at Opryland in Nashville and one of those trucks is parked outside it.

Brother keep up the great work 💪👍✌️🤛🤜👌👊🛻🇺🇲

I've been to Cooter's place that's in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and bought myself Cooter's tow truck

Subscribed!!!!

Interesting at 13:01 you can see that’s one of the Chevy or gmc truck cab with a license plate and not the ford based on the rear window maybe that answers the 2nd unit question they probably used the gmc for close ups

Great video!

Dude this was a great video. I knew about the gmc that died in x files I seen it when it originally aired and was screaming noooooo!!! Lol I loved the gmc trucks and the yellow f350. I dont remember which episode but the yellow truck had orange over spray on the passenger side tow bar where the tires go. Maybe they lifted the general for a quick spot paint job? Did you know one of those gmc trucks was used in Clint Eastwood's any which way you can. The part where the old lady towing the ground down vw is a good giveaway. If your doing another video like this why not how many trucks did uncle jessie have? Again great video, thank you.

Cooter's F350 is sitting in Nashville, TN at Cooter's Garage Museum. I had the opportunity to get a picture sitting in it.

Man i watch your cooters tow truck video which got me building a model of cooters tow truck the gmc

In Season 2, Episode 25: Carnival of Thrills, Pt 2 at 19:43 of the episode a white tow truck is seen, could that be one of Cooter’s tow trucks? What’s interesting is that I was on the look out for tow trucks after watching your episode, and that’s why I spotted the white tow in that episode.

Truck 4 was a Chevrolet. And this is just an opinion, but I think the yellow 79 Ford might have been a custom camper package? I only say that because the rear wheels looks so far back. That being said, thank you for all your time and research on these trucks. I've always loved Cooter's tow trucks but never really knew a lot about them, only that they changed a lot over the seasons. This episode was incredible, I have learned so much about the truck I always wondered. So thank you again for your time and effort.

Your mullet is exquisite. It's like a halo on an angel.

Let's go chunky yeehaw can't wait breaker breaker 1 9 I might be crazy but I sure ain't dumb crazy cooter coming at them duke boys ya hear? 🤠

Hey! Nice video... I learned a lot about Cooter's tow trucks here! May I suggest a video on the costumes of all the cast? That might be cool to know about.... just a suggestion/thought. Enjoying your videos always! Take it easy Oh I like your hair too

I don't know if you've covered it yet. But can you cover every variation of the Hazzard County sheriff cars?

the yellow truck was also used as a base for cooters truck in the Playstation 2 game Dukes of Hazzard Return of the General lee.

Cooter's tow truck was one of the A-team episodes, A nice place to visit. circa 1983.

Like this rebel yell

Very interesting video. I don’t know how you tracked the same truck through 2 other shows.
