I cannot find reference of an old movie, maybe from 60's or 70's, about a guy driving around with something alien or radioactive in the car's trunk. Think he was thin with sunglasses and smoked. Anyone recall it?

How about ‘INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS” Kevin McCarthy in the 1950s and
Donald Southerland in the 1970s

This movie had both options, trucks and trunks. The alien life form was pods grown by local farmers in California. ie- okra.

Was there a night scene, with a house at a beach maybe, where a man (the bad guy?) opened the box...the good guy was a ways off down the beach, and there was a bright light that emanated from the house...killed the guy that opened it...or maybe killed a woman?

I seem to remember an old movie with that in it.

Starman?

Jeff Bridges plays the alien who cloned himself into human form with a lock of hair into a dead guy. He gets picked up by an older fella in pickup truck to help him get to New Mexico.

Pretty sure you mean "Kiss me Deadly". A Mike Hammer movie.

I think the X-Files based an epi on the alien-in-the-back [of a truck], too.
