The Ford Motor Company introduced the first Lincoln pickup truck in 1938. The vehicle was called the Lincoln-Zephyr Pickup and it was a two-door, four-wheel drive light truck.

The design of the truck was based on the Lincoln Zephyr sedan. It was equipped with a V-8 engine and had a maximum payload capacity of 1,500 pounds.

The last version of the Lincoln pickup truck was produced in 1960. This version featured a 170 horsepower V-8 engine with an automatic transmission as standard equipment. Its overall length was 222 inches and its wheelbase measured 125 inches.
