No, much later. Transmissions in trucks work differently and have to withstand so much more stress. Wasn’t till the early 00’s that anyone got serious about them.
They’ve been around since the 50’s, but only became widespread in 2010ish. I think Volvo started offering the first production model auto trucks in 06.
That must have been a while ago, I assume trucks got auto transmissions before consumer cars ?

Wow ! more ancient than I thought
Automatic transmissions have been around since the 60’s or 50’s, IIRC.
