Is there anyone out there that can confirm that the introduction date for the Closed Cab Pickup was June 4, 1928 besides seeing it in the MARC/MAFCA RG's and JS (A-1 Revised 2016) if in fact that is what they are refering to?

Thank you.

This is from a Sept. 6, 1928 Fargo Service Letter.
"Because of the demand for our closed cab assembled with the Model "A" Pickup unit, it has been decided to bring through production the closed cab as well as the open cab with the pickup body."

Thank you Bob and yes...I know about that letter. Even Wagner in his book about the Ford Trucks since 1905...He indicates August 1928 but I have no idea just where he got that from.

I can not find it in the DeAngeles Book either.
