Truckzilla
"Truckzilla" is the pet name given by fans to John's truck. It was first coined by LJ user disanddat in a thread in the papawinchester LJ community on the 31 of March 2006. Full thread here
The input for the name came from a TWOP's Supernatural episode recap of Shadow in which "...Daddy walks off to get in his Truckosaurus Metallitruck."
When the truck used in production was being sold, it was described as:
"It is a 1981 GMC 4x4 short box step side.The motor is a 350,hp (strong running),auto trans. The suspension has a lift kit and has stainless exhaust. A new b&m shifter was installed and has tilt, sliding rear window and a cd player. There is a weapons stash under a false floor and is all automatic with a flick of a switch (there are no weapons included). The trans has a oil leak but works well." (Source)
Truckzilla was purchased in April 2008 by livejournal user blacklid. She outlines the experience of going to the set to pick up the truck in her post "Our trip to that Big Building in Vancouver What Has All Those Cars and Sets and Crew and Hockey Sticks and Whatnot, right?".
- Truckzilla (now affectionately known as Zilla) made her first con appearance at the Salute to Supernatural Dallas 2008.
