Ultra-Custom Semi Trucks
If a custom vehicle is something to see, a custom semi is
something else--something much, much more. This brilliantly
illustrated book celebrates the time, energy, patience, hard
work, and skill that go into these monumental rolling works of
art. The author, who has spent a quarter of a century
photographing and writing about semi trucks, takes readers
behind the scenes in a semi customizing shop. There she
surveys eye-popping examples of themes for custom
construction and gives readers a rare close-up look at how
the custom semi goes from inspiration to road-ready
masterpiece. As interesting for its technical insights as it is for
its fantastic photographs, her book is a fitting tribute to this
pinnacle of automotive art.

Semi-Trucks of the 1950s: A Photo Gallery
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.
