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..

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 contemporary photos would be nice! However, those minor gripes hardly detract from this excellent book. Overall, a most fascinating read!

Coffee Table type book, Nice layout,pics, color, Good reading,Was able to get this book for $29.95, Not sure why the price is so high now.Book is a good read.The book I have though Has a different cover than the one pictured. Nice Hardcover.

A number of the truck photos are incorrectly identified. Noticeably in the 1940's and 1950's Being able to identify correct years and models would seem basic to a truck history book. These errors leave the rest of the "Official History" suspect. If you are looking for a pretty coffee table book then this is it. If you are looking for GMC history I would not recommend this book.
