Not with authority. I've spent my entire career (34 years) in Light Duty truck (C10, 20, 30 series).
I will say, however, that I got the impression we would build whatever a fleet buyer wanted, including some very low build quantities. I heard the SEO (Specialty Equipment Organization) guys imply we've had some fleet orders for less than 10 trucks (like even one or two) that were built in a very specific combination.
I am probably more readily able to extrapolate and answer questions relative to design, engineering and production processes, based on my work in light truck plants and my studies of mid 60's passenger car assembly. It should be pretty much the same except the proliferation of models and parts in the Medium Duty and Heavy Duty ranks is mind boggling, as implied above.
