I was watching this classic last night on a purchased video, which includes "Behind the Cameras", an apparent weekly show hosted by a man named Gig. The Power Wagon is show driving up with a platform hovering above it, it is introduced as the lift truck, shown during filming at the planetarium. It is most likely the same truck I mentioned as being used in filming of "Giant", which can also be seen in the purchased video that includes "Behind the Cameras" with Gig. Interestingly, an interview with Dean was cut, and replaced by an interview with jim Backus (Thirston Howell). In the Dean interview, he indicates that he only races cars on tracks and warns young people of the dangers of racing on public streets. Dean was probably killed before the interview was aired, right after giant was completed. Anyway, you California guys will probably
find the film crew Power Wagon, or it is probably already in Don Evans garage.
