The 1965 A64B Autocar severe-duty, Cab Over Engine vocational truck that Spanky drives was previously used in the 1987 Sylvester Stallone film "Over the Top". When the truckers box Putnam in on the road after he nabs Jimmy, "Hawk Hauling," (the name of Stallone's character Lincoln Hawk's company in "Over The Top"), can still clearly be seen on the driver's-side door when Spanky opens it to exit the cab around the 57:35 minute mark in the film. Following "Over The Top" and before it finally made its way into "The Wizard", the truck was also used in 1988's "Messenger of Death". After filming "The Wizard" in 1989, it went to sit on a Universal backlot for years until it was called back into service once again, this time for the Lori Petty film "Tank Girl", where it was repainted silver. A few years later it appeared in another science fiction film, again in its silver repaint. In 2010 it was spotted for sale in truck jackknife stuntman George Sack Jr.'s California scrapyard.
