but then that is hard because it depends upon what you consider a truck to be?
When I was growing up in the 1950s and 1960s a Pickup truck was ONLY an open bed pickup truck with usually a bench seat in the front that at that time had no power steering (because mostly only strong men were going to drive it?) Not sure at this point. But, I remember the steering being so stiff in some utility electrical contracting trucks so stiff that you literally couldn't turn the steering wheel unless it was moving at the time. (even if the engine was running because of no power steering) and if you weren't really good with a stick shift (usually a three speed shifter with compound low for really steep terrain or going down really really steep hills carrying a load very very slow). The bottom of the floor shifter was low gear and then above that was compound low for driving only under 5 miles an hour top speed likely. It was like a capital H with the upper left top compound low the left bottom was first gear the upper right was 2nd gear and the lower right was high gear. Reverse was also usually a compound low reverse to the left and down past the left of the capital H of the shifter. And if you weren't really good with a stick shift and incredibly stiff truck clutches at that time then you could forget driving most pickup trucks or utility body trucks at that time.
But if you have ever driven most pick up trucks they still have a very different gear ratio in the steering mechanism than any car as you spin the wheel multiple times to make many turns while a sports car might turn the wheel a quarter turn or less to do the same thing. This is mostly about the weight you are trying to carry while turning or could be carrying with a pick up truck like many bales of hay or livestock or a cabover camper or utility construction body or whatever.
But, if you consider International harvester Scout II's a truck I owned a 1974 international 4 wheel drive with a locked rear end 6 cylinder which likely was the single most amazing off road vehicle I have ever owned and I got this one I believe in 1983? maybe.
For example, if you consider the GMC Suburban a truck they started making these carryalls in 1937.
So, it all depends upon what you consider a 6 passenger truck to be.
