Trivia...Ford, who made the first pick-up trucks,
shipped them to dealers in crates that the new

owners had to assemble using the crates as the

beds of the trucks. The new owners had to go to

the dealers to get them, thus they had to "pick-up"

the trucks.
And now you know the "rest of the story".
