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.

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.

"I was able to paint a picture of the "House Car" and Tag-along trailer that my father bought for our first trip to El Monte, CA, where his cousin and family lived. I spoke to my older brother who said that the House Car was built onto a 1947 Chevy truck bed. It was a 6 cyl, 3-speed truck. The back of the cab had been removed.  The prefab trailer body was bolted to the truck bed and the windshield of the cab with extra braces on either side.  The trailer part had a full size bed that folded up and then, a table with benches folded out to take its place. There were cupboards, closet, sink, butane stove, oil heater, and ice box. We four children sat on the benches playing games or coloring as Dad drove. They slept in the Tag-along. Later, they bought a  17 foot trailer. It was quite a sight on the road in those days, and we had many visitors looking at it, as well as at the sights.
We all have fond memories of our trips in 1948-50."
