Cargotruck

The cargo truck on the move.

This Mercedes-Benz LG3000 was a cargo truck and military vehicle used by the Nazis under the command of Colonel Dietrich. Following the destruction of the Flying Wing, Dietrich opted to drive the Ark to Cairo and fly it to Germany from there.

The Ark was loaded in the back with a contingent of seven soldiers to guard it, but during the drive it was commandeered by Indiana Jones who threw all of the soldiers out. During the ordeal the truck sustained a variety of damages including but not limited to: loss of the passenger's side door, loss of part of the back canvas, and loss of the Mercedes hood ornament and a broken windshield. However, it survived and Jones successfully drove it to Cairo where it was hidden from sight at Omar's Garage.

Behind the scenes

  • Like its counterpart in the sequence, the troop car, the truck went on to appear in the comedy Top Secret! (1984).
