    Great pictures, Great layout, lots of pictures, black and white ,color, sadly missing the chevy bison pictures, and more titan 90's.. Ron please do a Book On chevy titan 90 and Chevy bison,Chevy's Heavies. Ron Adams books are the best.

    This is a book on big rigs of the 70's, and for the most part, it is accurate, but it does have a few out of place photos, maybe from the sixties, it is a great book for truck fans of that era, I grew up in the 70's, and it was an era of truck movies, that has not been seen much since. I do recommend the book, but I wish it had a little more info about the various trucks. No truck book yet that I have bought can really tell you what the truck you are looking at has for options, maybe it was just too hard to get the extra info, but it is nice when you come across it. I also enjoyed big rigs of the 1950's and big rigs of the 1960's, together they do make for a nice set.

    I can't say enough good thing about this book. The pics and the info are awesome! This is a must have for any truck enthusiast. I love trucks and I could not put the book down. Ron, if you read this, how about Big Rigs of the 1980's? Sign me up!
