"There's loads of info here, and I haven't even touched on the big rigs! A must for pick-up afficionados" -- Classic American, August 2002.
It features striking full-color photographs, original advertisements, production figures and historical facts.. The book provides a decade-by-decade look at various model changes, important personnel who determined company design and the available commercial and consumer vehicle lines. Millions of GMC fans will celebrate 100 years of truck making with this full-color, hardcover reference that tells the story of General Motors Truck and Coach through photographs, advertisements, production figures and other historical data. This book features the GMC models that helped shape America from the parlor-coach type buses of 1922 to the military 'Ducks' of World War II to today's sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks
I enjoyed it! Robert O. Bray Lots of nice factory pictures, and quite a bit of good story about what was going on behind the scenes at G.M. Truck and Coach. The book's strong point is its coverage of the 1960's, when G.M.C. produced a staggering number of different models. I would recommend it, particularly as there isn't any other titles in print devoted exclusively to G.M.C. "Great history book" according to Dan. The definitive resource for GMC trucks, at this time, anyway. Though the book is slim, the authors managed to pack quite a large amount of information and photos in it. All sorts of GMC trucks are covered: light to heavy, old to new, military to civilian. And it doesn't focus only on the trucks; even key personnel changes within GMC are detailed. My only two gripes with the book are, yes, the number of misidentified pictures, and the number of factory photos--more. Jose Lopez said GOOD GMC HISTORY..
