    Hey Truckers,

    I have been making some info graphics of famous movie vehicles. My first project was pickup trucks and it turned out like this. http://www.realtruck.com/blog/2013/03/famous-movie-trucks-with-infographic/

    I know there are TONS of other trucks that could switch any of these out, but looking through this forum and others, these seem to come up often. When we did this with pickups, the comments always came back with "why didn't you add this truck?" I only will need around ~25 total big rigs, so I need to narrow down this list. What are you favorites? Any others that I should add?

    That Kenworth T-2000 you picture is not a T-2000, it is newer truck, a T660 by the look of it; a model similar to a T-2000 in cab width but of similar age to the T660 is the T700.

    That T-2000, or T660 or whatever it is, when did they begin putting the red oval on the nose?

    At least I noticed it wasn't a T-2000, need more coffee, I guess, to figure out it was a Pete 386. Thanks again:biggrin_25521: for pointing that out, gokidogo.
