Trucks 1939-1979 - Building trucks for many local businesses
along the West Coast, Peterbilt trucks had to prove themselves
through winding rugged mountain roads, and once they did,
their trucks became known as "betterbilt" Peterbilts
among enthusiasts. Starting in 1939 when Peterbilt was formed
(after acquiring Fageol trucks), this golden era of trucking
is portrayed through large period photographs when
these heavy haulers were put to work. Captions not only tell
about the truck, but also about the companies and owners who
operated them.
