When the Astro and Titan arrived in 1969, this was a whole new ball game in terms of big truck styling, which had generally been sorely neglected since the 1940s or so. Sure, there were some very handsome trucks, but they were so because of their intrinsic proportions more than actual professional styling. The Astro and Titan, as mundane as they may look now in hindsight, brought a whole new level of design considerations to these COEs, such as massive front windows and a high driver’s position that made visibility unparalleled. The dashboard was also designed for best sight lines, and had a very modern feel to it. (By Paul Niedermeyer Posted on August 29, 2021)
