    Ford Motor Co. today marks the introduction of its first purpose-built truck, the 1917 Ford Model TT, celebrating a hundred years of pickups that the company claims would "change the very nature of work itself." Here's an album the OEM provided running through the decades and the evolution of those trucks.

    More from Ford: "Over the course of this history, Ford has continuously worked to improve its trucks by listening to truck owners and developing new innovations that improve their ability to get the job done. These innovations give today's Ford truck owners greater towing and hauling capability, advanced engines for improved efficiency and driver-assistive technologies that make it easier and more convenient to operate."
