This book follows on the heels of Big Rigs of the 1950s (0-7603-0978-7), which has proven popular with vintage truck fans. This book tackles a new era, the 1960s, providing views of the trucks that traveled America's highways during that decade. Photography again comes from the enormous archive of Ron Adams, author of Big Rigs of the 1950s, Mack Trucks, and 100 Years of Semi Trucks. Each prominent manufacturer receives its own chapter, and less prominent brands are also covered. Adams provides detailed information about the truck models pictured, as well as the trailers, trucking companies, and hauling configurations seen in the photographs.

This review is from: Big Rigs of the1960s (Paperback)
Lots of photos, interesting reading, and generally pretty good. It brought back memories of the 60's which for me were great. I highly recommend this book for vintage truck folks or for its history.

This review is from: Big Rigs of the1960s (Paperback)
For a "used" book, I sure give it an A+. My husband enjoyed it greatly and my adult sons are now borrowing it back and forth. Super quality, quick shipping, great condition. Much appreciated!!
