Great show. HBO had a run of good shows back then, Soprano's, The Wire, Band of Brothers, Entourage.

Now that is a very interesting piece of Trivia that I would never know about.Probably had a nice, clean truck for close-up shots, and a stripped out hunk-o-junk painted up nice for the wrecks and shootings.
Remember the movie "Vanishing Point"? Chrysler loaned eight 1970 Challenger R/Ts for filming. If you put your VCR on slow forward when you watch the final shot where the car is wrecked, you'll see it's actually a '67 Camaro shell.
Back in the early 2000's I worked for a Co. that had a contract to clone '96-'99 Suburbans so that they all appeared identical.I know movie (and TV series) productions often use a number of vehicles to appear as one.

Wow that is very interesting bit of knowledge there too man.Back in the early 2000's I worked for a Co. that had a contract to clone '96-'99 Suburbans so that they all appeared identical.
Black with grey interiors. They all got the same wheels & tires.
6 a month. Ex-lease or rentals. Bought at auction. Most under 60,000 miles.
From the day the 6 were delivered, 8 of us could pound them out in around 18-21 days. Everything was the same so...production line. Most of the crew had over-lapping knowledge so we could shuffle around to help in other areas when needed.
Body shop with a double long paint booth. In one end, out the other. Upholstery shop in the same building, separate unit.
The seats we'd have all pre-sewn. 2 girls cutting & 2 stitching would take a week to do 6 sets of seats. Pre-make the door panel inserts, too.
Carpet kits. Rolls of grey H/L material.
A small paint booth for prepping & dying of plastics.
Front doors got a 50% tint & the rest of the side & rear glass got 70%.
Why 6 at a time? 3 to a 40' container.
They were all going to The Middle East. The total order was for 50 units delivered in 350 days. One a week. We kicked that deadline's a$$
When those were done, we did 10 more Burbs plus 10 Lincoln Town Cars for the local movie industry. Same colors. Black/Grey.
