Chevy has been setting industry standards for over 100 years. Chevy Trucks recounts this incredible history, from the classic Series 490 to the more recent Silverado and Colorado. In 1917, Chevrolet introduced its first truck, the Series 490, marking the company’s official entry into the dedicated truck business. During the century that has passed since that first Chevy truck, Chevy (and later GMC-brand trucks) have become some of the most ubiquitous and recognizable brands around the world . Every year the company sells over 1 million trucks worldwide. From the very beginning of the story to today's modern global brand, Chevrolet Trucks: 100 Years of Building the Future covers the entire Chevrolet truck saga , from the early Series 490, to the medium and heavy-duty models, to the light-duty C-series pickups, right up to the contemporary Silverado and Colorado. Officially licensed by Chevrolet and created with their full cooperation, this detailed book includes hundreds of photos from Chevrolet’s historic and design archives . Automotive journalist Larry Edsall combed GM’s archives and interviewed key personnel to weave the story of Chevrolet’s truck evolution from working vehicle to lifestyle companion. This thorough history covers the full array of Chevy models since 1917 and is a must have for any truck fan whose heart beats with a V-8 rhythm. Review: He is in love with the book even if he has to pop ... - Gorgeous pictures! The only issue is due to the size and amount of ink used, the person I gave it to is highly allergic to certain inks and was unable to open the book without airing it out for several weeks. (He actually had a severe allergic reaction just upon opening the gift on Christmas) I basically put it in the garage with a fan on it to help get rid of the fresh ink odor. He is in love with the book even if he has to pop a few Benadryl before reading it. haha Review: Can’t beat the price. - Very informative. Bounced around a bit on the storyline.

A Must For Any Chevy Truck Fan
Definitely a worthwhile purchase, lots of great period photography, not the all-to-often seen incorrectly restored street rods usually featured in this type of book. Much of the copy appears to have been cribbed from contemporary sales literature, not necessarily a bad thing but real in depth behind-the-scenes information is always appreciated. Some coverage of military trucks (though a few pictured were actually GMC's), El Camino's (more of a car anyway), even the LUV and S-10. Biggest disappointment was the nearly complete lack of commercial truck coverage, no mention of Chevy's 10 year foray into class 8 semi trucks, nothing on the Titan, Bison, Bruin, Tilt's, C40-65's, Kodiak, no pictures of medium duty after the Advance-Design models. Too bad, they were as much a part of Chevy's truck history as anything else. That minor criticism aside, it's a well done book and absolutely a 'must-have' for any Chevy truck fan. It's even a high quality printing.

You'll want a copy of this book for your Chevrolet Library too!!
As a 4th Generation, EWING CHEVROLET, Chevrolet dealer. Our family dealership sold and delivered Chevrolet Trucks for over 90 years since 1917. I received this book as a Pre-Christmas present from my wife of 50+ years. The outstanding layout and photos brought back many happy memories of the 50+ years I sold Chevrolet Trucks. I am proud to have this book in my personal library. If you love Chevy Trucks, you will want this book for your library as well.

Chevy Suburban info.
Without doubt, this is the best book on the Chevrolet Pickup. What pleases me the most, is chapter 10, page 135, entitled "Suburban Living" which features the original Suburban trucks that I have long been curious about. It's about time somebody did a feature on that type of vehicle, and maybe a separate book could be done on the Chevy Suburban.
