I couldn't believe it, so I went in and added it up myself... I got about 506,000
There were "millions made", but it's spread out over longbeds (all 3/4 tons were longbed, that doesn't "help"), suburbans, blazers, 1 tons, panels. I knew longbeds trumped the shortbeds in sales, I just never realized how badly.

These numbers don't include GMC, their production numbers were lost in a fire.
