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

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.

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

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.

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.

| This truck is owned by Tommy Hahn
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. |
