Yea. It’s the latch. One of the comments said the latches do that on lots of the trucks. Which is true. Case in point is look the fuel area on all 2006 dodge Durango’s. They all rust out in the same exact way. The same place. And are all rusted about the same amount. The reason for this was a defective valve in the fuel filler neck. When fueling it would cause the fuel to back up and spill over the body of the truck. Over time this ate away at the paint allowing it to rust there more quickly than others. So could it be the same truck? Sure. It would only make since that it was. But is there proof. Not really. Just some food for thought.

I drove one of these trucks in 1978. All the pete cabovers are notched out there. As others have said it is where the door latches. Look to the left of the pic and you can see the latch on the door. Lines up perfectly. One thing you don't point out that I noticed is the location of the air intake on or near the roof of the truck. In all your examples they are in a different location including some that are not visible at all because they are mounted behind the cab. Some are not roof mounted on that model of Peterbilt. That is something that varied on this model cabover depending on the engine and intake options.

At 4:45 there’s damage to the bottom edge of the cab, pretty centered inbetween wheel & diesel tank. That same dent can still be seen once repainted at 12:53 😉

Exactly

The truck.from "No Big Thing" is also a sleeper cab. It has a twin size bed behind the seats. Goliath is commonly referred to as a "double bunk" and it has what is basically a queen size bed behind the seats. They also usually have a little bit more cabinet and storage space at the end of the mattress and around the top of the bunk area. If the cab is cut off right behind the entry doors then there is no bunk or sleeper and it.is referred to as a day cab. Also, the small doors low on the sleeper sides are officially known as luggage compartments but referred to by drivers as the side box.

Fun Fact: The truck from the show you can buy the truck in GTAV and it's a beast . lol

Since you guys found both the Kitt semi and trailer in the midwest desert, might I suggest focusing your efforts there? It’s likely all of those vehicles that were previously owned by the movie companies were auctioned off and ended up somewhere relatively close. This is also pretty obvious but I would also suggest looking through the credits of each episode and see if there’s any prop or rental company that comes up mentioned because they may be credited for supplying the vehicles.

You can see gray paint by his left foot at the lower bottom of the door. Also on the dash by the gear shifter you can see all the color matching switches that Garth was operating in the close up shots of him starting up the truck. I love these videos!

The pictures that you show of Goliath make it clear that it was painted with a latex paint or a primer over wax intended to be later removed with a high pressure washer. There is overspray on the tires and some got past the cab door onto its seal at the bottom.

Very interesting. I wonder where that mechanical masher is now.That episode had me in tears when KITT got hit with that thing.And Garthe was a complete madman.The truck in Mouth of The Snake is more than likley Goliath , I think.

I have never seen an episode of Knight Rider but I found this to be so interesting. I hope the Peterbilt makes its way to you guys someday.

Great video and history lesson. I seriously think you're on to something. Unfortunately this truck could be scrapped but then again it can be fully restored and working or a show truck. Some truckers really love cabovers. However I would not give up, BJ and the Bear original truck and trailer were found on separate farms in the midwest and south. The 2 were united and completely restored.

Think that 'break' in the weather stripping is for the lock on the door - look at that point on the door in that screenshot. Agree that the lorry is probably the same used as Goliath, just don't think that's necessarily proof.

I think that it's entirely possible that the Peterbilt used as Goliath, being a rental unit, and the close proximity to Goliath Returns meant that Universal kept the truck and it would make sense that it was the truck -repainted - in Mouth of the Snake.. can't just be coincidence to have the black flecks of paint on the chrome mirror and interior details.

This was a great piece on Goliath. Thank You for posting this! I hope theres more in the future. A couple things I can point out. I am very familiar with the Pete 352. I can tell you The Evel Knievel Pete is definitely Not Goliath due to some updates I can see such as the updated 1980s style driver door handle and the headlight design which is set slightly higher than on the Goliath model. Another piece of interesting info. Also….If you look at the air cleaner located on top of the “MotS” Peterbilt it also has black paint residue. That could also be a strong clue that both that rig and Goliath rigs are the same.

That’s pretty cool even though I was in college when Knight Rider came out.. I enjoyed watching the episodes and I had forgot there was a Peter-built in a couple episodes called Goliath…the only evil car on the show I had remembered until I watched this video was K.A.R.R. Which was a exact replica of K.I.T.T. So thanks a ton for bringing those great memories up…could be I forgot because my dementia is getting worse…

Nice detective work.thanks again for sharing.

In mouth of the snake… it’s missing the front emblem on the rad cap cover. Same with Goliath. And it’s the same long sleeper! I believe that might be Goliath. Plus the same steering wheel, mirror chipping, and the door jambs are black just like the one in Goliath. 352 pacemakers did in fact come with different interior colors. With that chip, it’s definitely the same truck.

Goliath was a 1979 peterbilt 352 pacemaker. I know my dad used to drive one that looked just like it Goliath but his was light green body and dark green stripes .only my father's didn't have the big grill but he did add a heavy bumper he called a cattle removal. Lol driving at night most times u don't see cattle at night

That is the way the rubber is for the lock latch setup on all of these trucks

I’m with the masses on the door rubber, but the mirror looks like the evidence for me. I’ve had a quick look and it doesn’t appear to be a standard part, so that and the black bits left say yes :o)

That evil kenievel one was a 352h. Different style from the 352 pacemaker so that isn’t the same.

As a fan of the amazing show I am so happy to have stumbled upon your channel!!! I have seen a couple of the cars and the FLAG TRUCK

Thx for the informations! Keep it up👍🏼

If you look at 14:49 there's a bit at the top of the door frame where the black paint is missing, and it shows a line of the original blue paint. At 14:55 and 17:04 you can see the exact same line on the blue truck. Also, on the right side of the truck at the part where the original single cab would've ended, you can see the same small dent on the bottom edge of the cab on both Goliath and the blue truck.

Pay attention to the tank mounted behind the battery box somewhat of an odd tank option and appears to be the power steering reservoir might be a rare option for the 352 that could help you track down a build record to get a vin and maybe track down that way

A truck that is 50 years old chances are it is not road worthy nor has been for a very long time. Doesnt mean it is not around.

Excellent, superb, well done (quote)! I was nine in 1984, when I first saw "Mouth of the Snake", and my first thought when I had seen the truck was: "Hey, that's Goliath repainted!" Ok, it was just the idea of a child, but had anyone here got the same thought of mine when he or she first watched "Mouth of the snake"? Second idea: no way to relate Goliath to any of the trucks seen in "Ten wheel trouble"? Anyway, poor truck: from two of the greatest episodes ever, to one of the worst! 😅😅😅 Oh, there's another thing the two trucks shared, if I'm not wrong: the "Rocket launcher" button, which will be reused also in "Buyout" which shared the missile launching scene with "Mouth of the snake". Ok, that's a little complicated... 😅😅😅😅

There are trucks from the us over here mainly wreckers. I used to work as a bus driver and one day one of our buses was being recovered to the depot and it looked funny this small service bus being picked up by a huge kenworth wrecker. I do hope you find goliath.

Thank you Knight Rider Historians for the awesome videos especially the Goliath videos.👍👍 On the episode Mouth Of The Snake you can clearly see the California license plate. So check the DMV to cross reference the truck location or last owner. You said I in a previous video the studio use the real license plate on the flag semi. So with that said they may did the same on Mouth Of The Snake?? And for the Flag Semi Trailer on episode where Kitt gets destroyed in Chicago in the abandoned warehouse District. Bonnie running down the side of the trailer to help Michael and Kitt. If you screen shot it at the back doors of the trailer, you can clearly see the California license plate on the right side. You may be able to track down the trailer, vin, and the last owner from the DMV. If this doesn't work in the first season of Knight Rider you can clearly see the license plate on the rear of the Flag trailer. When it's parked on the side of the road in the dirt. Hopefully this help you find Goliath and the Flag Semi Trailer. Knight Rider Super Fan!!👍👍

Oh man. Y'all are taking me back a few years of my trucking history. There we're actually three different tractors used in the Goliath representations in the TV series. Because of mechanical issues with the shooting of the TV series. But the tractors are pretty much the same configurations though.

Hi Joe I'm not sure if that split in the weather seal is anything at all. Check out where the lock of the door is. The latch. It's goes in that space. It's not like it was "cut" and faulty. It's just a gap in the seal where the fitting goes. I bet if you look at any other trucks from Peter Bilt, even the shorter ones, they will all have that design to them. That said, hell of a coincidence to have two trucks of that rarer kind, with the same interiors. Let's hope the rental company get in touch, or someone knows. of them from back then. Cheers.

That interior is the common interior. They used pretty much that same interior color scheme all the way up into the 80s the wood grain stickers and such. My dad had a 79 and 80 KW both had that wood grain sticker.

Like everyone said that chunk is where the door latch was. The side doors on the sleeper that’s still made by Peterbilt on trucks today you have to order that version of a sleeper. More than likely that was a fleet truck from some rental company and they ordered several like it, so you may find several that fit that description.

The most basic of indicators are the Frog lights on the top left and right side front of the cab. The sleeper Roof Vent Stack, and the rear facing trailer illumination light again mounted on the top of the Cab. Just some observations. Good Luck finding it. Happy Hunting!

Single sleeper or double sleeper. It like a single bed or single sleeper for 1 driver or a queen bed for 2 people to sleep. It works like this. 1 driver drives when there done they sleep. If it's a team driver one drives the other sleeps or tries to. The purpose of the double sleeper, that's the wider cab with the queen sized bed is for those times when your waiting for a load both can sleep or if you have a passenger with you. The double sleeper was a luxury and typically not bought by fleets. It was bought by an owner operator someone who owns and drives the truck. Hope that helps non truckers understand the difference better.

the 352's was a common OTR truck back then, not as rare as one would think, there were cheap, and that was back during the first 70's fuel crisis, probably had a 3406a or b, Or a Detroit series 71 or 92 V-8 in it with a turbo kit or a super charger which was more common, as lastly a little 350 Cummins in them they also had a 9, 10, 13, or 15 speed transmission in them depending on what they were going to haul. they were also same as the K100's cept a few details such as the grill and interiors... seeing Paccar owned both Pete and Kenworth at that time. the paint used looks like was washable paint, which was common for the studios back then cause they cause wash the paint off with a pressure washer on rentals, the interiors was all the was all the same on them petes, same doors was used on all their trucks and that spot you say the rubber missing is where the door latches to the truck to the body lol. so with that evidence i would think that those 2 trucks are not the same unless they modified the air intake for goliath and changed it back when it became a blue truck. the air intakes are in different places on your photos for the 2 different trucks which the one with the chrome roof had a cat, the other one had a V8 Detroit ya can look at the air intake and know what's in them. So with that, person you shoulda talk to about that particular truck would be George Sack Sr if he is still alive, he used to buy allot of them old movie rental trucks at the auctions and use them for picture trucks in movies in the 80's and he had allot of 50's - 60's trucks just laying around his lot in aqua dulce. I used be a driver back then, and have driven many of these 352's and K100's, they was go to trucks for us bed buggers.

Superb video Joe,yes no doubt it's the same tractor..well done again...oh and have the trailer in my cellar and i want $20 billion for it....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@18:37 zoom in and it’s specs of paint on the mirror and over spray on the rubber trim for the windshield.

Great video guys very interesting 👍

There is a chrome thing on top of the roof what i would think is an air intake for the engine, mostly they are mounted by the exaustpipes behind the cab or beneath the cab.

ANOTHER OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTARY .!! I hope you find Goliath , it would be a great addition to your collection . I can attest myself to how hard it is to find anything that was used by or at Universal Studios. .I have been looking for some time now for the Orignial KNIOGHT RIDER SIGN That was Mounted above K.I.T.T. when it was on display there while I was working on it.. I have as yet had no luck , and I assume Joe that you haven't found it either I will keep looking though .. AS ALWAYS ...K.I.T.T. STILL ROCKS !!! Later Jake

I’d say the rubber strip will be the same in all the trucks because that’s where the door latch sits. You can see the latch on the door in the still.

You guys are awesome detective honestly :D

Great video and research. I hope that someday we'll find out what happened to it.
