The pickup truck has a connection to the utility or delivery trucks used in the early 1900s in the United States. Ford introduced these vehicles in the mid 1910s as an easy way for companies to deliver their goods and products. This paved the way for the first pickup truck, which Ford introduced in 1925. These early trucks retailed for less than $300 and had no (auto glass) on the (car window). Instead they had only an empty frame. The truck was billed as the Model T and over 30,000 vehicles were sold in that first year.

By 1928 Ford decided to replace the Model T by introducing the Model A. This pickup truck had a windshield and glass windows that rolled up and down. Chevy released their first pickup truck in 1931 and within a few short years, all major manufacturers had their own version of the pickup rolling off the factory lines.
