Were the production numbers 50/50 or biased one way, and if so which?

Longhorn Man · 10-28-2007, 05:22 AM

you lookin for an average of all 1/2 ton C trucks, 3/4 ton C trucks, 1/2 ton K trucks, 3/4 ton K trucks for each of the 6 lears... or are you looking for oneparticulat year... ?
The only one I have reallylooked at... in 72, 3/4 ton, C series... there were more barn doors... but not by much.

I'm looking for a rule of thumb on '67-'72 Suburbans.

Demmit_Hemmit's 65 numbers tell an interesting story.

Interesting question and an interesting answer.

I am surprised with those numbers how hard it is to find good a good set of clam shells

I just missed out on a super nice 4x4 3/4 ton burb, now I know some more numbers

Demmit_Hemmit's 65 · 11-01-2007, 03:47 PM

I have talked to quite a few older people who had burbs from 60-72 that told me they used their trucks for work and the lift gate option wasn't as accessible as the barn doors...............Barn doors were easier to get things in and out of them.............Hemmit
