Product Description
Travel the 1970s, what may have been the last great era of the big rigs, with the man who knows semi trucks better than anyone. Ron Adams, author of Big Rigs of the 1950s, Big Rigs of the 1960s, Mack Trucks, and 100 Years of Semi Trucks, takes readers through the decade, introducing the trucks that debuted or saw significant revamping, describing the quirks and innovations, and offering detailed information about the models, trailers, trucking companies, and various hauling configurations.
Spotlighting manufacturers from Mack and Freightliner to White, Peterbilt, and Kenworth, and featuring Adams' fabulous photography, this is the 1970s on the highway. Looks like we got us a convoy, good buddy!

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.
