The pilot had just landed his airplane under daylight conditions and was taxiing to the parking area when the airplane struck an unoccupied truck, which was parked in a non-movement area of the airport. The pilot stated that there were no yellow center line markings painted on the taxiway. He said that his attention was directed at the hangar edges and he did not see the truck, which was parked, on the right side of the taxiway. The FAA measured the taxiway and noted that it was more than 60 feet wide, and the truck occupied less than 10 feet on the extreme right side of the taxiway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate visual lookout during taxiing operations. A factor was the pilot's diverted attention while taxiing.
