VINTAGE PICKUP TRUCKS: Today, many automotive enthusiasts search for old pickup trucks to restore and drive. Yet the modern pickup truck is a popular vehicle for use in America -- both for personal and commercial purposes. Texas is sometimes called the "land of pickup trucks", even charging lower taxes on pickup truck registration (agricultural use only) then on other types of vehicle registration. Texans have 14%% of the pickups in the U.S., and Dodge offers special editions of their pickup trucks, with names like "TEXAS EDITION" and "LONE STAR EDITION". Many parts of the Deep South states and rural Mountain West states also have significant pickup truck cultures, high registration of pickup trucks, as well as similar Texas tax cuts on pickups. This book provides a pictorial history of vintage pickup trucks.
