Focusing on GMCs most fruitful six decades, from 1927 to 1987, this book offers a prologue and epilogue to round out the 100+ year history of GMC trucks and their predecessors Rapid and Reliance, with particular emphasis on the heavy-duty models. In-depth coverage of all models, engine specifications, year-to-year changes, and model-by-model genealogy charts is included, as well as the story of GM’s role as a heavy-duty truck maker and the influences of Max Grabowski, William Crapo Durant, and Alfred P. Sloan Jr. An essential book for truck enthusiasts, historians, restorer’s, and anyone interested in General Motors. Archival photos, many from the National Automotive Historical Collection, show these models in pristine form.

4.0 out of 5 stars All Black and white, Good Book ..., February 25, 2009

By	Jose Lopez "Jose Lopez" (Miami,Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even though it is all Black & White, This is a good book on GMC HEAVIES UP UNTIL 1987(SOME 1988'S were made,brigadiers,generals, but they were not mentioned), Book also does not mention Chevy Counterparts: Bison,Titan 90,Bruin,90 Series. Hopefully someone will do a book on the Chevy Heavies.
This book even features A small mention/section on WHITE GMC/Volvo GM .
Wish it would have had some color.. Hopefully there will be another book to cover this(Ron Adams?At work series in Color) Can't complain. Very Good And Informative book.
