Books like "Ford Truck Chronicle"

[Sergey]

Hi, friends!

I just have read "Ford Truck Chronicle" book. Very enjoyable announcement. Many color pictures of trucks from different eras. Although there are black and white photos. They are usefull too.

The book is a guide through Ford Truck manufacturing from the begining to 2006 year.

This book tells not only about heavy trucks, but about medium duty and light duty, vans, panel trucks. I like them too FTC is full of many interesting events I could not know.

Could anybody tell me: is there the book like this about GMC, Dodge trucks?

Maybe you know some Publication That tells about Truck brand from the begining to nowadays?

Firstly, congratulations on having your Western Star and Ford Aeromax models featured in the Italeri model gallery. You are at least the second modeler from this board to have their truck models on the Italeri web site.

Yes, there are several excellent books on North American truck brands. One of the best is the Crestline series of books from the publisher Motorbooks International. They are, Ford Trucks Since 1905, International Trucks and Dodge Trucks. The are in black and white, but they chronicle virtually every model and model year of tractor these manufactures every made! Each book has over 300 pages and at least twice that many photographs. They were originally released in the mid 1990s and to my knowledge, they are out of print, but can be found from sources if you search the Internets. I highly recommend them as references for any truck enthusiast.

Thank you for congratulations, Charles. I have seen them on Italery site just yesterday, though I sent photos long time before. I was kinda surprised.

As for the books: Is "International Trucks" tells about all the line up from International trucks till mid 90's?

I have to confess: mostly I like North American Trucks since 1970's to nowadays.
