bodies (dead or alive) to a cave underneath the old church. He also uses his truck to scare potential victims. The license plate on his truck reads "BEATNGU" ("Be Eating You"). The truck can attain unusually high speeds (at least 100MPH) despite its decrepit exterior. The truck likely has a 383 chevy crate motor with a supercharger to make it run fast.
Jeepers Creepers
The truck first appeared in the original film where, at the beginning, the truck was used to scare Darry and his sister, Trish, off the road, however, he did not seem to take any interest in the two and simply drove off ahead of them. The truck next appeared when the young teens passed the old Church and the house of pain where they saw the Creeper unloading bodies down a pipe. Worried that he was under suspision, or angry that he had been found out, the Creeper used his truck again to run Darry off the road, only this time Trish's car suffered a massive amount of damage as the Creeper rammed her car. The truck left the two in a feild with a broken, smoking car.
Throughout the rest of the film, the truck made minor apperances. When Darry and his sister were in a gas station, the two saw the truck pass the window. When the couple were driving with a police car, the Creeper sliced of one of the officer's heads. Mysteriously, the Creeper truck did not appear when the Creeper attacked, but the Creeper could be seen loading the bodies into the back of the van, as the truck had appeared from nowhere, it seems. The truck then appeared in the end credits, blasting its horn.
Jeepers Creepers 2
While the truck did not appear in the film, one car could be seen crashed into a tree which some speculate was the work of the truck running the car off the road.
Fate
The fate of the Creeper truck is unknown. At the end of the film, the Creeper took off with Darry and, presumably, left the truck but this is unlikely as he would later drive it during the post credit scene. Perhaps he simply created it to fit in with his disguise. However, if he did work on it a lot, it is unknown why he dumped it.
However, it is rumored that it will return in Jeepers Creepers 3.
In other Media
In the video-game Resident Evil 4, there is a truck which looks very similar to the Creeper truck with an almost identicaly sounding horn.
