Since

1959 was the first 4x4 pick-up build by ford. Chevrolet followed suit in 1960. Until then they were build by outside companies. Chevrolet built their trucks with the torque tube making a 4x4 conversion impossible so only ford did 4x4 prior to 1955 ir so I think.

Light duty consumer grade trucks anyways. I have no clue on the big stuff.

Ford in 1959 with the F250 4x4 series and Chevy/GMC the following year.
