am trying to answer a trivia question, "who was the actual owner of the Clampett's truck?" Searching the websites so far has not mentioned the "actual owner". Thanks

Well, according to Jerry Fay's novel, "THE CLAMPETTS OF BEVERLY HILLS" (1964)--which is based on early episodes of the show (including much of the
dialogue taken verbatim from the scripts), Pearl Bodine loaned "her truck as
moving van and her son as driver and moving crew." So, technically, the
truck belonged to Cousin Pearl.

in the pilot, she offered to lend it to them. The line was "An' ya can borry my truck ta move out in". or something like that.
Then she said "An Jethro can help ya ta move. He's awfully good at totin' an liftin".
