first 4 WD built

A rather simple question for the Guru's. got in a discussion with a buddy of mine the other day on the subject of what was the earliest year that ford started building the 4 WD trucks. mine is a 64 so i know they go back that far. No particular reason, just curios. Dutch

The first year that Ford offered a factory 4WD truck = 1959 on F100 and F250's only.

Prior to 1959, most Ford 4WD's were Marmon-Harrington conversions. Ford used M-H for several decades after 1959 to convert the F600 and larger trucks to 4WD.

Ford first began using M-H in 1934 to convert trucks, station wagons, even some cars to 4WD.
