Description
Examining the development of the popular ½-ton American pickup truck during the 60s, this book includes the numerous, new alternative designs and engineering approaches. This volume also reveals specifications, industry facts and figures, and optional equipment, through detailed text and previously unpublished images.
Synopsis
Although the ½-ton American pickup truck was still purchased as a basic utility vehicle during the ’60s, more and more, consumers were looking for stylish, comfortable, good handling, and good performing trucks.
The important role played in American life by the lightweight, high-production pickup truck is often overshadowed by their innate ruggedness, reliability and utilitarian nature. Yet, as the quickly-changing decade evolved, so did the pickup truck, and the manufacturers’ interpretation of them. Continueing its trend from the 1950s, a trend towards greater style, comfort and optional equipment, the pickup truck would less and less assume the lines and styling of its flashy, sibling car versions, and instead evolve an identity all of its own.
Additional Information
The familiar American pickup truck evolved after the war, from an often second vehicle or common workhorse, to the best-selling vehicles in North America.
Focuses on industry facts and figures, styling features and unique options.
Includes rarely seen cut-away drawings, never before seen photos, and info on little-known Mercury and Fargo trucks.
