It varied based on whatever is was en vogue at the time.
When I started in Flint, Line 1 pickups were built piecemeal (radiator support set loosely on the chassis, then LH fender, then RH fender, then hood) but Line 2 Blazer/Suburban was "buck build" as shown here. Same product, under the same roof; different process.
There were 7 full size truck plants building C/K pickups. The majority were "piecemeal" installations.

I dunno about that

I will say, though, you want your best guys working that job.
