The best advice to offer anyone seeking to put their knowledge of classic trucks and all things related on the fast track is for them to build a personal reference library from an assortment of good old fashioned books. Sure there's the Internet, but why increase your carbon footprint every time you fire up your 450-watt computer just to be left to the mercy of an anonymous Internet wizard. When searching information that is accurate and authoritative there's no better primary source to rely on than a book written by a reputable author.
