This year marks the 50
th
year of production for Truck
Parts
& Service. Originally founded as Fleet Distribu-
tion by Jim Moss in the late 1950s, the publication
was renamed Truck Parts
& Service in 1966 and has
been providing news and product expertise to the
heavy-duty independent aftermarket for the last fi ve
decades.
Truck Parts
& Service will produce a retrospective
special issue looking at the history of the magazine, and
how it has impacted the aftermarket, later this year.
