Book excerpt: For uninitiated readers--or those too young to recognize a Grateful Dead sighting--Chevrolet's C/K coding denotes model year 1960's two new pickup lines: C for conventional two-wheelers, K for their brawnier 4x4 counterparts. Showcasing many truck-market milestone moments, the lengthy C/K tale recounted in this book encompasses three generations: 1960-66, 1967-72, and 1973-87.The first-generation 1960 model year was launched in the fall of 1959 with a new body style and designation system. This new truck featured many firsts; the most important of these were a drop-center ladder frame that allowed the cab to sit lower and the change to independent front suspension, giving the trucks an almost car-like ride. The second-generation C/K debuted in 1967 with a major redesign that earned it the nickname among enthusiasts "Action Line." At this time, GM began adding comfort and conveniences to a line-up that had previously been for work purposes only. These trucks have proven extremely popular with collectors thanks to the attractive styling and excellent drivability. The third-generation debuted in 1973 and was produced through 1987. This generation had a total restyling. Due to a relatively smooth appearance created to encourage better aerodynamics and fuel economy, these trucks came to be known as the "Rounded Line" generation. The first three generations of Chevy's popular C/K pickups are the most popular, affordable, and collectible pickups on the market today. High production numbers means used parts are easy to find and there is a large aftermarket for reproduction parts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three generations (1960-1987) of Chevy's popular C/K pickups are the most popular, affordable, and collectible pickups on the market today. High production numbers means used parts are easy to find and there is a large aftermarket for reproduction parts. The first-generation 1960 model year of Chevy C/K pickups was launched in the fall of 1959 with a new body style and designation system. The "C" designation in front of the series number denoted a two-wheel drive system while a "K" designation indicated a 4-wheel drive setup. This new truck featured many firsts; the most important of these were a drop-center ladder frame, which allowed the cab to sit lower and the change to independent front suspension, giving the trucks an almost car-like ride. The second-generation C/K debuted in 1967 with a major redesign that earned it the nickname "Action Line." At this time, GM began to add comfort and conveniences to a line-up that had previously been for work purposes only. These trucks have proven extremely popular with collectors thanks to the attractive styling and excellent driveability. The third-generation debuted in 1973 and was produced through 1987. This generation had a completely new total redesign. Due to a relatively smooth appearance created to encourage better aerodynamics and fuel economy, these trucks came to be known as the "rounded-line" generation. Noted Chevy writer Mike Mueller combines his folksy writing style with deep research to provide the collector with an easy-to-read overview of what makes these pickups so special. In addition to detailed coverage of the three distinct generations, Chevy C/K Pickups 1960-87: An illustrated History offers shorter feature stories on the Suburban, Chevy's compact pickups, the origin of the Blazer, and the Cameo pickup.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chevrolet Half-ton C/K-Series Pickup Trucks 1973-1987 focuses on the evolution of the popular 3rd generation Chevrolet ½-ton C/K-Series pickup trucks from 1973-1987. Chevrolet’s half-ton pickup trucks were competing head-to-head in a highly competitive marketplace with Ford’s always popular F150. At the same time, other truck builders such as Dodge, International Harvester, and Jeep were constantly applying pressure to increase sales in an attempt to capture more market share at the expense of the leaders. Following a brief history of Chevrolet’s building of the corporation’s half-ton pickup trucks, the book takes an extensive look at Chevrolet’s half-ton C/K-Series pickup trucks with emphasis on the all new model, followed by a year-by-year description of the evolving 1970s models, and the various market demands, which often led to the introduction of niche models to broaden its market base. As well, Chevrolet reacted to a changing marketplace which included a greater interest in 4WD, while being detoured by fuel shortages, ever-changing fuel economy and pollution regulations, and the constant quest to reduce overall weight. In addition to the production models, there are chapters on the restoration and the growing interest in the customizing of these Chevy C/K models by enthusiasts.

Book Synopsis Preserving the Desert by : Lary M. Dilsaver
Download or read book Preserving the Desert written by Lary M. Dilsaver and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National parks are different from other federal lands in the United States. Beginning in 1872 with the establishment of Yellowstone, they were largely set aside to preserve for future generations the most spectacular and inspirational features of the country, seeking the best representative examples of major ecosystems such as Yosemite, geologic forms such as the Grand Canyon, archaeological sites such as Mesa Verde, and scenes of human events such as Gettysburg. But one type of habitat--the desert--fell short of that goal in American eyes until travel writers and the Automobile Age began to change that perception. As the Park Service began to explore the better-known Mojave and Colorado deserts of southern California during the 1920s for a possible desert park, many agency leaders still carried the same negative image of arid lands shared by many Americans--that they are hostile and largely useless. But one wealthy woman--Minerva Hamilton Hoyt, from Pasadena--came forward, believing in the value of the desert, and convinced President Franklin D. Roosevelt to establish a national monument that would protect the unique and iconic Joshua trees and other desert flora and fauna. Thus was Joshua Tree National Monument officially established in 1936, with the area later expanded in 1994 when it became Joshua Tree National Park. Since 1936, the National Park Service and a growing cadre of environmentalists and recreationalists have fought to block ongoing proposals from miners, ranchers, private landowners, and real estate developers who historically have refused to accept the idea that any desert is suitable for anything other than their consumptive activities. To their dismay, Joshua Tree National Park, even with its often-conflicting land uses, is more popular today than ever, serving more than one million visitors per year who find the desert to be a place worthy of respect and preservation.
