The movie (Joy Ride) http://www.imdb.com/rg/VIDEO_PLAY/LINK//video/screenplay/vi1754464537/
Three young people on a road trip from Colorado to New Jersey talk to a trucker on their CB radio, then must escape when he turns out to be a psychotic killer.
They used a Cherokee Nightrider 150, so watch out which radio you choose, it might be your last.

I had a Pace 23 channel radio back about that same time, but mine was a smaller one than what Bert was using. Those were some good radios, I wish I knew what I did with that one I had...Knowing how bad CB radios were getting stolen back then, that's probably what happened to it thou...Bet I didn't have the same radio for more than 6 months at a time, before someone was always swipping them out of the car. :angry:
