A truck driver's tractor-trailer is more than just a vehicle or a tool for making a living. It is a calling card, a personal statement, a way of life. Truckers take as much joy and pride in modifying their rigs as hot-rodders and car customizers. Bette Garber presents some two dozen of the most interesting and creative custom trucks to be seen on the roads today. Each feature tells the story of the men and women who modify and drive these trucks, including the tricks of the trade. All are featured in full-color photography that highlights the flash, incredible detail, and personal touches of custom semi trucks. The book also provides an overview of the truck-show scene and what makes for an award-winning rig.

Custom Semi Trucks,
By frank strohmyer (Bedford,OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Custom Semi Trucks (Paperback)
From a woman who has been taking photographs of trucks for over twenty years has finally came out with a book of her excellent work of photograph, of trucks. You have seen in work for American Trucker magazine up to current Roadstar magazine. I have to say its about time that she has had a photographs published in her own book. She covers 28 show trucks,over a span about 5 yrs. All in All get this book, if you love the show trucks that are at the truck show, you will love this book. I was pleased to have this sittin under the Christmas tree.

Very Good Book,
By Simon "Simon" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Custom Semi Trucks (Paperback)
If you have ever admired a big rig roll down the highway, this book is for you. The trucks in this book are of course all show trucks (some working). Each truck has an amazing description with great pictures. This is a really good book for anyone who likes trucking.
