Artifact Overview

For years, buyers needing a light-duty truck had modified Ford's two-seat Model T roadster by removing the rear deck and replacing it with a truck bed. Ford noticed the trend and introduced a factory-built Model T pickup in 1925. It featured a steel bed 56 inches long by 40-3/4 inches wide. Ford sold nearly 33,800 units that first year.
