Dekotora photo galleries
20 Nov 2006
They’re big. They’re bad. They’re dekotora (“decoration trucks”). Explore some of the internet’s best dekotora photo collections here: Link 1, Link 2 (third button down, on the left), Link 3, Link 4, Link 5, Link 6, Link 7. And for a small dose of dekotora history, check out this intro to one of the Torakku Yaro (“Trucker”) movies, the 10-part series released by Toei in the late 70s that spawned Japan’s dekotora boom.
Keep on truckin’…
Oh my god thanks! I’ve been wanting to see more of these ever since I saw the photo feature in Intersection magazine a couple years ago…

Killer man, just killer. You have done a great job getting this together. I always search for them but cant find em.
You should put up some pics of the Custom VANS they do also. You have done such a good job getting this together, Maybe you could pull off the Van thing to. Some of the vans with the big fiberglass wings and what not.
Great job

there are a few trucks decorated just like that in sg but, due to the restriction and some safety issues, the trucks here are far from the one we see in japan. still, there are no decolimits for some…. cheersss!!!!

Amazing. The lights probably cost more than the trucks themselves
