Running from November of 1981 to May of 1986, The Fall Guy was about Colt Severs, a Hollywood stunt man who supplemented his income by working as a part-time bounty hunter. Played by Lee Majors of Six Million Dollar Man fame, Severs drove a two-tone brown and gold 1980 GMC K2500 Sierra long bed pickup with a suspension lift and 35-inch Dick Cepek off-road tires mounted on eight-spoke chrome wagon wheels. It featured a chrome light bar with two round and two rectangular lights, a grille guard with Warn winch, and a secret compartment built into the bed for stashing bail jumpers. During the course of the show, the GMC pickup was jumped thirty-three times, usually over a conveniently placed dirt ramp. The show destroyed so many trucks, they eventually had to build a specialized mid-engine version just for the job. It had beefed up frame and suspension, and an 800-pound weight mounted in the bed to make sure it would fly properly.
