Chevrolet pickups are a splendid blend of beauty and beast, renowned brawn, and a bow tie on the bow. These are the trucks of dreams for worker and collector alike.

From the curvaceous carrier of the 1940s to the style-setter of the 1970s, Chevrolet Pickups 1946-1972 charts the course of the star of light trucks. Within are a spectrum of color lists, details on the details, and option rosters for all Chevy light duties, sedan deliveries, vans, and El Caminos. It all adds up to a development history and restoration guide as handy and helpful as the Chevrolet pickup itself.

John Gunnell's writings on cars and trucks are equally well known; he is the author of several books, and in these pages he has collected a superb gallery of photos and facts on all aspects of Chevy haulers—customizing and stock restorations, engines and transmissions, literature and model collecting, and an information department stacked with intimate specifications.
