John's PICKUP TRUCK Pictures
from 1910 to 1973

Some of the trucks that you will see on these pages

A number of years ago I saw a one page calendar that showed all the Ford
pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought , what a nice idea.
I thought that I might try something similar with some of the car pictures I have collected.
I have been collecting pictures of Studebaker, Packard Nash,
Hudson, Jeeps and pickup trucks for some time now and I first wrote a web page
on the Studebaker.
Then one on Jeeps , Packard and the Hudson and Nash followed.
Next came the Kieser and Henry J.
Now I with the help of one of my visitors have written on on the Crosley
Now I thought I would try a web page on the Pickup Trucks
of the 1940's to the 1960's.
I also included some panel trucks and early SUV's of this period.
They just seemed to fit right in with the pickups.

These pictures came for a number of sources including
web pages of the manufacture, news groups and my own.
Since most of these pictures came from news groups there may
be a chance that your car is shown here.

I would like to invite any one that has a favorite Pickup Truck of
this period to E mail me a copy

Before you begin I want to mention that I have been told that some
of the pictures on my pages aren't loading properly.
If this should happen to you just right click on the area where
the picture is supposed to be and select "Show Picture".

I have been told by the support team of my hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to live with it.

A Brief History on the Pickup Truck

Pickup trucks as we know them go back to the early days of the automobile industry.
The first civilian Dodge Brothers' Commercial was the famous Screenside introduced in 1917 as a 1918 model.
Dodge Brothers' famous Commercial Panel followed six months later after the Screenside.
Dodge Brothers Company entered into an agreement with the Graham Brothers Company in 1921 whereby the Grahams would manufacture one and 1 1/2 ton trucks from mechanical parts supplied by Dodge and with cabs and bodies manufactured in the Graham's plants.
The 1924 3/4 ton Dodge Brothers' pickup was actually built by the Graham Brothers.

Also in 1918 Chevrolet brought out it's model 490 Light Delivery chassis cowl. The chassis cowl consists of the painted metal parts. The wooden cab and pickup type body were purchased from an aftermarket manufacturer.
The 1921 Chevrolet 490 Roadster Pickup's cargo box was also an aftermarket item.
This practice of using an aftermarket continued fir the 1927 and 1928 models.

The first Ford pickups to hit the streets was in the mid 1920s. Back then they came in one color, one model, and without much equipment.
The date was April 25, 1925 and on that date the Ford Motor Company introduced their first factory produced pickup truck. The Ford model T Runabout with Pickup Body turned out to be a pretty popular model for Ford in 1925 with over 33,800 of them being sold.
In 1928 Ford introduced the Closed Cab version of the pickup. This truck featured an all steel cab with roll up windows in its doors.
The 1928-1929, Open Cab Model A Pickup was dressed up by using a car type nickel plated grille surround and headlights. The red wheels and while wall tires also add a nice touch.
It seemed the writing was on the wall back then.
From the early beginning the pickup truck was strictly a work vehicle.
Things stayed this way until the mid to late 1950's when most of the manufactures started to add car like features. This practice changed the automobile industry forever.
The pickup truck was never the same work horse again.
The Ford F 150 pickup is today's number one selling vehicle in North America.
Pickup trucks are available in just about any color you could imagine and with any option available on a car.
In fact many of them ride and handle better them most cars on the road today.

Whether your truck is brand new or a vintage '38 Packard, you'll need the right gear to outfit it. AutoAnything has a huge selection of truck bed liners, truck racks, and trailer hitches to get your truck up to spec. Be sure to check out the great deals on Curt hitches and Injen products too!

This is probably the most famous Hood Ornament used on a Pickup truck
but when it comes to old Pickup trucks not many would disagree that
this is what it's all about.
