GMC Print Art
Hello, I am looking for any really good quality pictures that can be downloaded ,printed and put on the wall, in the house or the garage. Not just great photographs, but get creative. Pages from service manuals. Covers of books about these trucks. I have blown up schematics from service books, to use as visual aids while in the garage. There is a great thread going about Garage Art. It covers objects d' art. Grills, lights truck parts etc. In the same vein, this thread is sort of a place to post all the great printed art that you think others might like to see or even print and hang in there garage. Rare, tangentially related, and just plain cool print art is really appreciated. Here are a few for example. I scanned these at 600DPI. They will print a 16x20 and look great. Thanks for sharing, Greg Mead

Re: GMC Print Art
I bet Jolly has a TON of this stuff. He has old manuals and sales papers too. I bought a few things when I got Cecilia, but I don't know that you'd be interested in any of it. Nothing is too special.

Re: GMC Print Art
Fetch, I have a lot of good scanned material, mainly 1960 specific. But I have a hard time loading it on here. I get "page can not be displayed" type notice almost every time I try and upload. Any clue what to do? I have the slowest DSL in the world, but I can not get just one picture to load most of the time. Any help, greatly appreciated, Greg Mead

Re: GMC Print Art
There is a maximum on image file size for posting on this site. Try shrinking your image(s) and you may have more luck.

Re: GMC Print Art
Thanks Andice, On the stuff that I can re-scan, I will lower the DPI from 600 to 300. Is there another way to make the scanned stuff smaller, and still get good results when enlarging for prints? Greg Mead

Re: GMC Print Art
Here are two pics I pulled from a 1960 GMC Dealer newspaper called,what else,"GMC NEWS". It says that the poster was sent to GMC Service dealers. Anyone seen or got one. Since the text was not color, I do not know what the colors on the poster were. The picture of the guys adjusting the valves on the new V-6,is just too cool. I love the jump suits. They look like the guys from a James Bond film. Anyone else have any pictures from back then of your local GMC Shops? I would like to see them. Thanks, Greg Mead

Re: GMC Print Art
Hey you got it working! I made a video about posting pics when I got started on my thread because people were always asking. You can upload any supersize pics with this way.

Re: GMC Print Art
Wish I could help, Greg, but so far all the GMC I stuff have collected skips 60-66. Keep posting your cool stuff!

Those Big ads from life and other large format mags of the day are nice when framed.
