Ford V-8 Pickup Truck on Assembly Line, 1939
Add to SetSummary
Engineers at Ford's Highland Park plant had fine-tuned the moving assembly line. With this experience in hand, Ford created the B building at its new River Rouge complex with extensive conveyer systems to accommodate the flow of parts and assembly processes. Light trucks joined the Rouge's product lineup in 1936. Here, line workers construct a V-8 truck during final assembly.
