The Ford pickup’s nearly 100 years--from the old TTs and flatbeds to the classic F-series--in photographs and anecdotes, historical images, trivia, and technical details. As American as baseball and apple pie, the Ford pickup has been a hard-working American fixture for nearly one hundred years. Those years of trucking roll out in the pages of this book, which celebrates generations of Ford pickups in photographs and anecdotes, historical images, trivia, and technical details. From the old TTs and flatbeds to all the classic F-series, these are the trucks that have kept America moving. “Decade by decade, Mueller gives a colorful guided tour of the main models of Ford trucks, from the earliest T-based 1925s to the bling and bulky attitude of the present. The short history for each decade is fact-packed and just long enough to keep all of the color photos from banging together, a Whitman Sampler of trucks.” – Mark Wigginton, Sports Car Market. “Mike Mueller’s Ford Pickup Trucks from Motorbooks is a great spotter’s guide offering full-color images of every Ford pickup to leave the plant…” – John Gilbert, Custom Classic Trucks “More than mere shelf filler, this book is a homerun for fans of Ford trucks and all who see the American pickup truck as an icon in the truest sense of the word.” – Jim Hinckley, Cars and Parts Mike Mueller has worked as a freelance automotive photojournalist since 1991.
