3.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of history, not enough buyer's guide, September 24, 2005

By	Chevy truck enthusiast (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews

This is the 7th book in the Illustrated Buyer's Guide series I have purchased. While this book has a great deal of history and plenty of personal anecdotes by the author, it is lacking in technical detail and buying suggestions. Other buyer's guides have much more information about details like powertrains, paint codes, etc. They also cover issues which buyers should be aware of, including likely rust spots, how to spot rare option combinations which have been faked and so forth. The technical details of the various model years of trucks in this book is spotty at best. Admittedly, this book is trying to cover almost 100 years worth of vehicles and there's only so much room to fit everything in. Nevertheless, this is more of an "Illustrated History" than an "Illustrated Buyer's Guide". And as a history book, with interesting information and a number of great pictures, this book will stay on my shelves. But I will continue to look for a better buyer's guide.
