It may have been mentioned already, but I don't remember the name. It was a short lived TV show with a total custom truck with a bubble style cockpit. If my aircraft experiance is correct, it was the cockpit of a Britsh Gazelle helicopter. Anyone have any info one this one?

Thanks Sharky, Thought that was the name, but it's been so long couldn't remember for sure. Anyone see the program on TV I beleive it wes an episode of daily planet, about a guy in Germany, that's building full size custom airodinamic trucks? looks like a concord.

Sorcerer - Wages of Fear (1977 Movie) Has some mean old army trucks in it. One is pretty stock, the other called "Sorcerer" is modified I think, I do not recognise it as a stock truck, maybe someone here knows?

Anyway I knew about this movie long ago because I listen to Tangerine Dream and have the sound track on vinyl, but not seen it. I recently found the European version of the film, which was re-edited and shortened by the European distributor CIC (It is english, but subtitled).
It is split up into 10 parts on YouTube by the original uploader so I made a playlist of them:

There is still one song that no one has mentioned.

"18 Wheels and a dozen roses" I believe was sung by Lori Morgan.
