Just like the Billboard painting performed in Pakistan, there is another indigenous form of art performed in Pakistan and it is the Truck Painting. With its all colorful floral patterns, depiction of human heroes with creative aspect ratios, calligraphy of poetic verses and driver’s words of wisdom, this form of art is truly a part of Pakistani transport tradition.
This art is so Pakistani, that the freight trucks which are built by Ford, General Motors, Hino Pak etc in beautiful aerodynamic shapes are first retro-fitted with very Pakistani stlye bodies and a special ‘viewing deck’ at the top of Driver’s cab. The ‘viewing deck’ is a very multipurpose extra space. It is used by ‘cleaners’ to sleep at night and also to load extra luggage when needed.

I'd love to see a hino truck pimped out like that!
Which model hino?
Any would be awesome.
Wow...the talent of some people is astonishing.
Wow...what intricate detailing!
Customization is a great niche market.
With trucks being more and more styled for aerodynamics, they tend to look more and more similar so paintwork is one of the few ways to make a truck stand out from the crowd!
