Mack legend can be traced to the dawn of this century, when several years of building wagons and experimenting with self-propelled vehicles paid off for the five Mack brothers, and they created and sold their first commercial vehicle.

The year was 1901, and the vehicle wasn't a Mack truck—it was a bus.

The Mack brothers went on to build trucks and to develop their own engines, engines that could power trucks capable of hauling immense loads.

As the brothers built their trucks, they didn't simply build them large and strong, they built them to be solid, reliable, and dependable on the job.

They succeeded to the point where it's long been a compliment to say something's "Built Like a Mack Truck."

History of Mack Trucks tells the story of the legendary trucks, from the eel:1y chain-drive models to today's ultra-modern haulers.

It provides details on the engines, transmissions, chassis, and styling. It sorts out the series and model codes as it traces the development of the trucks through the years. And the book shows the trucks in historic photography and photos of restored rigs that are still rolling and hauling today.

Mack trucks covered here include the AB Series, tire AC "Bulldog" and its "cousins," the original B Series, the Super Duty and Traffic Type Macks, Mack trucks in World War II, and all the postwar trucks. It also covers the Brockway Huskie and the current Mack models.

Author Tom Brownell is a noted truck historian who has written several truck Buyer's Guides, histories,, and restoration guides.
