With regard to 52flthed's comment about the Early Ford V8 club publishing more truck books, in my opinion, the issue is that someone needs to step up and write one. It would be nice for someone to volunteer to lead and write another truck book. I've written my book completely of my own initiative and no one from the Early Ford V8 club ever approached me with a request for a book, so I'm not sure how any more will be written.

I'm only knowledgeable for Model 51 trucks, nothing earlier than 1935 nor later than 1936, so this is my one and only book. All it takes to write one of these books is a few thousand extra hours, a bunch of money for travel to the Benson Ford Research Center and other places, and a desire to dig out the information where ever it might be. Then write it all up, make sure it's all correct and hand it over with a smile. Simple.
