The first actual "station wagons" were built on truck chassis. The first pickups came after. By that time both station wagons and pickups were built on the car platform. Station wagons were the only light trucks before there were pickups. The first year for the El Camino name was '59, but the first pickups were El Caminos... a pickup based on the car.
