There is absolutly no way to make that claim with any certanty.
Every one wants there crap pile to be rare.
Hell, every single cab/chassis truck or flat bed truck that left the assembly line had them, and in 72 there were 5974 C/20 cab chassis, 676 K/20 cab chassis,and 14988 one ton cab chassis built. So that alone makes 21,613 that had the lights on the cab.
Plus... all the trucks that were optioned like that.

I think he's asking about 1/2 ton trucks...

I think in his question he asked about Half tons, which would exclude all cab/chasis, and flat beds as well as one-tons, so the 21,000ish would all be 3/4 or 1 tons, so back to the original question, no one knows how many 1/2 tons came with them, and definatly not 50, if so, my 4X4 is "SUPER RARE!" cause it is a 1/2 ton 4X4 with lights? Nah, its just a truck.

well, there was also 1640 1/2 ton with no bed sold. ;)


As for trucks with beds, there is literally no way to tell how many had them. I still say the guy is a tool.

Agreed [tool] to assume any vehicle is one of 50 anything without specific documentation ie 1 of 3 hemi cudas with a stick, is to be fooled.......repeatedly.

i would GUESS well into the thousands. I have personally seen 10 or so 1/2 tons within a 2 hour drive of me, and there's many more i have not seen. I would consider them somewhat htf, but by no means rare.

i figured the old man to be a quack but was wondering if anybody had a hard number for this option...
