Muscle Trucks High-performance Pickups

The American pickup has always been known for its hard-working, easy handling nature, but have mainly served as light workhorses. As pickups became mainstream over time, a niche of trucks were created with high-performance in mind. Dubbed as Muscle Trucks (as in Muscle Cars), the roots of these prestigious pickups go back to 1955, when Chevrolet introduced the Cameo Carrier, which proved that customers would buy a truck that could play as well as work. This book honors the hottest trucks, then and now, with a selection of outstanding color photography detailing these high-performance haulers inside and out. Among others, photo subjects include the Chevy SS 454, SS 396 El Camino, Cobra Jet Ranchero, GMC Syclone, Ford SVT Lighting, Dodge SRT-10, and the new Dodge Hemi Rams.Mueller, Mike is the author of 'Muscle Trucks High-performance Pickups', published 2007 under ISBN 9781583881972 and ISBN 1583881972.
