    A fairly quick search suggests that "Truck" in this sense is from the Old French 'troque,' which actually means to barter or trade. It seems to have extended to actual produce produced for sale and from there to the system of paying in goods or tokens but I can't see what distinction Adam Smith was drawing between the the three terms.
