International Heavy Trucks of the 1950s

With worn-out trucks after World War II and plans laid out by the Federal Government to build the Interstate Highway System, truck production really took off in the 1950s. Companies and drivers who used International semi-trucks worked hard to deliver the goods.

This is a visual feast of International heavy trucks at work in the 1950s. View and read about the vast array of large trucks International built during the 1950s.
High quality large format photographs present these trucks in many configurations doing all kinds of work for all types of companies. Includes delivery trucks, tankers, garbage trucks, over-the-road trucks, off-highway trucks and much more.

International Heavy Trucks of the 1960s

The success of International's 1950s semi-trucks continued into the 1960s. Many series were carried over from the 1950s, but International now offered more models in each series to make them more versatile.
The pictures you see in this book mainly cover the bigger straight trucks and over-the-road and off-highway trucks; the popular trucks like the V series, R series, D-400, DCO-400, CO-4000, and the line of ''stars,'' to mention a few.
As you look at them, enjoy and admire them, as many are long gone. Includes delivery trucks, tankers, garbage trucks, over-the-road trucks, off-highway trucks and much more.
