Not much of a debate really:

There were pickups LONG before 1936

Just to add some debate the issue.

I don't know that Land Rover ever called them "pick ups" and after all 
the
seminal vehicle of that type anywhere in the world was the 1936 Ford
Australia "Utility" and in Australia Land Rovers of that type are always
called "Utes".

So to acknowledge some history I and most other Aussies would be happy 
with
the term 107" and 109" Utes.  (Even the 86" and 88" are called Utes when
fitted with a truck cab)

Cheers  :-)))

P.S. Real men drive a ute!

Hi Francesc,

nice work but I think you should change the caption  from 109" PickUp 
to to
107" Pick up, since the prototype was 107" and the producion vehicles 
were
107" from 1954 to 1957.

Thanks

Jeremy
