| 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

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 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.

with the use of quality and matching truck accessories. |

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.

He found this truck in Morton Washington. "You can see it is fixed up with modern tires and wheels, but still has the old Mack engine and looks as though it is still used as a water wagon." |

This was the first fire truck in Sutter Creek. He had the following to say about this truck. "The Photos of the truck are circa 1927. The men are obviously part of the Sutter Creek Volunteer Fire Department, but there are no names on the back of the original photos. The only person that we know is the man sitting in the truck, his name is Joseph J. Capetanich, he was a local auto mechanic and Fire Chief. His first garage in Sutter Creek is directly behind the person who took the group photo, so we assume that the fire truck was built in his garage. The building behind the group photo was the Mint Saloon on Eureka Street and the building is still there today, as an art gallery. In the photo of the truck only is a building that was a boarding house and it is still there today a restaurant. |
Today in the Fire Service, we have engines called "Fast
Attack" engines, as small first-in engines that can get to the fire fast
and make an initial attack, so I jokingly call this engine the "First Attack
Engine in Sutter Creek" and it must be since they took the door off for
fast entry into the rig. :)
The tank behind the driver is a Nott Chemical Fire Extinguisher. This tank and hose unit on top were originally mounted on cart wheels and pulled to fire by hand. The guys obviously got tired of pulling that sucker around town, so mounted it on this truck. They then added the hose reel with some small diameter cotton hose and we assume that there is some hose in the bed of the pick-up. In the two views of the truck, you can just see the handle and the tip of a large diameter nozzle behind the tool box on the running board. We still have that nozzle. We also have the hose basket for the chemical hose and the hose reel, so now all I need is a 20 or 21 Dodge and I can recreate that rig. Know any one who has a 20 0r 21 Dordge Pick-up for sale? Keep your eye out, I am in the market." |

| This 1924 Model T truck was originally a ranch truck in Colorado, now the company truck for the Coronado Brewing Company and Tent City Restaurant in Coronado, CA. The little green truck still boasts her original engine, and operates daily on the island of Coronado running errands and promoting business. This truck has been nicknamed "Olive Oyl," because she is tall and skinny, spinach green, and her shrill horn sounds like Olive yelling for Popeye. |

This is an automobile that he found was in restoreable condition, in other words, it was complete. He did a bare frame up restoration with everything powder coated except the body. It is in good running condition and all stock except the 12 volt convertion with alternator. Not included in the pictures are the stock seats, top and flower etched wind wings. |

He had the following to say about his truck. "It has 1935 wheels with 600x16 tires in front and 700x16 tires in the rear. The rear wheels were widened 1 1/2" for the larger tires. I am presently installing a 327:1 rear end ratio and have a new inserted motor that's ready to also put in. With the larger tires and lower rear end gear ratio I am able to cruise the highways @ 60mph turning 2160 rpm." |

from Norway. This truck was used in the family business up until it was replaced in 1949 by a 1950 Chevrolet 3100 panel van. The factory was and still is a knitting mill. It was started in 1927 by Marnus's grandfather. At that time it was called Ola Tveiten Trikotasjefabrikk but today the name is "Norlender Knitwear" which manufactures cardigans and pullowers sweaters. |
