Production numbers for GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gregbr · 10-18-2003, 01:55 AM

I have a 70 GMC short fleet, with auto trans, 402 BB, deluxe interior, super custom, Sierra Grande, woodgrain lower trim. Is there any info on how rare this truck may be? How many were made, etc. I can find no info on GMC trucks, they must not have kept as good of records as Chevy.

Anybody.....

gregbr · 10-19-2003, 06:44 PM

This is a first.....no replys....no comments. Oh well.

Is your GMC a Canadian built truck? Heres a link to 1970 GMC truck production numbers in general (15,906 from Canada) of which mine is one, but it doesn't narrow them down to their weight, style, options etc. designations.

The U.S. GMC records were said to have been lost in a fire. GMC Paul has done a good job finding what is out there as far as numbers, but I doubt you'll get numbers that show engine options into shortbeds and that kind of info.
Anyway around it, you have a very desirable truck.
The rule of thumb is to take Chevy's production numbers, and divide it by 3.

Mine is not from Canada, but I will check out the site anyway. I have been told the truck was rare, but it's hard to tell who to believe sometimes. There seems to be a wealth of info here, Thanks.

What is a good source for production numbers for Chevy or GMC?

No3Fan4Ever · 10-24-2003, 11:40 AM

Just stop at Barnes & Noble or a Books-A-Million book store and look in the automotive section; try to find a Cars&Parts soft cover book that has all the info

gregbr, i have a short bed 4wd 72 gmc and had the same question. GMC Paul is a very good source of information on this subject. good luck

No3Fan4Ever · 10-24-2003, 04:26 PM

I forgot to add the picture of the book

Longhorn Man · 10-25-2003, 12:41 AM

That book is full of inacuracys and mistakes. I have it and have not opened it in over 2 years since I got info from GM.

gregbr · 10-26-2003, 07:04 AM

Longhorn Man...What kind of info were you able to get from GM? How did you get it....the dealership? Thanks.

Longhorn Man · 10-26-2003, 09:07 PM

The restoration packets.
I don't have the phone number here, but someone should have it.
Just call them up, tell them your VIn #, and they will send you a packet of all the specs and options for that year truck.
I have all but 72 I think. I just call them every once in a while and tell them I bought another truck.

gregbr · 10-30-2003, 01:11 PM

Anyone have the GM phone number for the restoration packets?

No3Fan4Ever · 10-30-2003, 02:11 PM
