Earliest Steel Pickup Bed Applications?

[southfork]

I understand that Henry Ford manufactured his first steel pickup beds for the 1925 models, but I don't recall seeing the '25 short steel pickup bed mounted behind anything but a light runabout (roadster pickup). Anybody know if they came from the factory mounted behind either the C cab or the closed cab on a light (non-TT) chassis?

There is no documented evidence that the C cab or closed cab TT truck bodies were ever sold by Ford on the car chassis, thus no other car chassis based pickups than the runabout ( roadster-pickup).
There was a heavy large pickup type box offered on the TT truck chassis, I do not know what year it was first offered.

The pickup was first offered sometime in 1925. It was a roadster with a box in place of the turtle deck. So you could take the box off and replace it with the turtle deck or the other way around.
