If you are old enought to remember this show, you now make noises when you sit down. As a ten year old, this was the coolest truck on TV, the trailer would split open from the top and there was a helicopter hidden inside.

I remember! The driver was played by Sam Jones, who also played Flash in Flash Gordon (1980).
At first I thought it was weird that he prepped the chopper by lifting his steering wheel off and screwing a joystick in its place, but I came to love that sequence. Shit was getting real when that happened.
If I remember correctly he was usually pretty pissed if he had to screw that joystick in.
