Semi-Trucks of the 1950s: A Photo Gallery Semi-Trucks of the 1950s: A Photo Gallery
by Ron Adams
After WWII Americans were anxious to re-stoke the economy after a
long "make-do with what you have" dry spell. By the 1950s new
highways were being built, new trucking companies were being
formed and old ones revived. Americans were buying newly-styled
cars and the latest technologies once again. Semi-trucks helped
pave the way for this huge growth spurt in America with dependable
trucks built by Mack, GMC, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, International,
White Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Diamond T, Reo, Autocar,
Brockway, Sterling and others, many using the increasingly popular
diesel engines made by Buda, Hercules, Waukesha, and Cummins,
which helped their heavy loads haul quicker. Ron Adams portrays
this booming era with over 300 superb photos of trucks hauling
cement, fuel, and a variety of goods to enthusiastic Americans.

International Heavy Trucks of the 1960s
The success of International's 1950s semi-trucks continued
into the 1960s. Many series were carried over from the
1950s, but International now offered more models in each
series to make them more versatile. The pictures you see in
this book mainly cover the bigger straight trucks and
over-the-road and off-highway trucks; the popular trucks like
the V series, R series, D-400, DCO-400, CO-4000, and the
line of “stars,” to mention a few. As you look at them, enjoy and
admire them, as many are long gone.
