Great Book On Paccar.

This was a Rare Book At the time I purchased it, I have the most recent version(I think 1998, as there was a 2005 version I believe) And I have the first (1981) version..both books, Provide you a "Official"(Internal company/promo book) history of paccar. Groner did a good job.

For serious enthusiasts and keen Paccar Employees

280 pages of pure Paccar seriousness. I have not fully read this book yet from cover to cover and I may never get to.It is well written, beautifully presented and covers the very beginnings of Paccar right up until the late nineteen nineties.We get 120 pages in before we spot the first photographed trucks, Kenworth sand and gravel haulers, but of course Paccar is much more than just Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks. Paccar also made tanks, defense systems, railcars, winches, dozer blades, dam components, buses, ships and bridges and acquired other companies such as Trico which made automotive components.From page 120 onwards there are enough truck photos and interesting text to satisfy most truck enthusiasts.If Paccar is or was your life, and your memories are pleasant ones, then this book is a must-have. The cost price of the book is reflected in the quality of the publication.
