FAQ (well, not really, but...) - Computer Wallpaper 2 for your pleasure

Hey guys,

Here's my computer wallpaper number 2 in the series of trucks i see around town. I see this truck every week but yesterday it had the matching camper attached! I think it's an 86 but let me know if i'm wrong.

To download the wallpaper for your use click here or click the image:


The whole set will be here if you missed the last one, the 1969 Camper Special.

Thank you, Em! I didn't know until now that you took the photos and created the illustrations for your wallpaper. FABULOUS! You have a lot of talent. Is that what you do professionaly?

I think we should make a category for that and add it to our sticky!

thanks <b>scott</b>! yes i'm a graphic designer by trade. i've kind of given myself this little project both because I like changing up my own wallpaper and looking out for trucks is forcing me to keep my camera with me. I've been trying to train myself to do that for years. It's having the added effect of helping me learn to distinguish model years.

I hope y'all enjoy them!

I like the 69 Camper Special Em. I dabble with graphics myself although my stuff tends to be a little more abstract.

Here are a couple that I did for my own MySpace page. The skull is from a metal sculpture that I found on a visit to Seattle, and the bike is one of my own.

I was in a "green" mood that day:

Thanks Em. Now, if I could just get someone to take a picture of my back.

I have a pretty nice tattoo going on but it isn't finished yet.

It's pretty hard to take a picture of your own back.

great work !

not to try and hijack this thread but does anyone know if the fog lights on the front bumper of this truck are oem? I ask because I have 2 holes in about those same areas in the top of mine.
