  1926 Dodge Brothers Pick Up 4 cylinder
• Notes:
  ITM Promotional Truck This is a great example of a defining pick up truck celebrating New Zealands pioneering timber industry. Offered in good condition this machine has rested at Pete’s Museum having enjoyed a comprehensive restoration. The Dodge brothers (John and Horace) got their start making parts for Ford and other makers. From the first Dodge Brothers automobile in 1914, the Dodge brothers' durability and quality earned their company a strong reputation and good sales. They did not build an actual truck until World War I, though, and that was a panel van, not a pickup - with a half-ton capacity and a 35 horsepower - gross, not net! - four cylinder engine. By 1921, after the deaths of the Dodge brothers, Graham Brothers started selling 1.5 ton pickups through Dodge dealers; it had Graham bodies and Dodge parts. A one ton model showed up later in the 1920s, still powered by that same four cylinder engine, and Dodge Brothers bought a controlling interest in Graham Brothers in 1925, picking up the rest in 1926.
