Accurate Production Numbers

[Lees68GMC]

Does anybody know of a credible resource to find actual production numbers by year and model for our 67-72 Pickups, with break downs between Chevys and GMCs, maybe by production facility too since our VIN indicates that.

I'm curious

[PanelDeland]

Most GMC records were lost in a fire years ago FWIT.There is a Red Book that gives Chevy #'s but it's questionable whether it's accurate.SSTim(a member) probably has as good of info as is available on these trucks,both fro resources and his personal observations.

[Lees68GMC]

Thanks so much for the info. I'd heard the GM records Fire story before but thought it was just a "Dog ate my homework" excuse from some novice posters that didn't really know.

I guess I'll PM SSTim for some further insight, Thanks so much for your response.

I think the Standard Catalog of American Light-Duty Trucks is a common reference for production numbers. There are no GMC numbers though.

[SS Tim]

With as many "fire" stories there are at GM it might have some small bit of truth. But in reality there would have had to have been a number of guys running around with flame throwers for weeks to account for everything claimed to have be destroyed over the years. As expensive as document storage and transfer are they were surely dumped. Surely some were saved but individual vehicle documents would be the first to go. Production documentation would be reduced incrementally and generalized as the data became outdated.


Most of the production catalogs agree within reason to be based on some records but there are many many holes that repeat some models and delete others. If I could I would love to be able to breakout a vehicle by total production, plant, series, model, trim, driveline and scheduled build date.... reality is it is not going to happen.

Go with the books it is close enough. The lower the production number the more source blending will help establish a true number.

A quick search on this here site turned up this; (thanks John Fabris!)

1967-1972 Chevy Truck/Blazer/Burb/Panel Production Numbers

Here are the production numbers for 1967-1972 Chevy Trucks, Blazers, Suburban, and Panels. (Sorry, no GMC). This information is from the "standard catalog of American Light-Duty Trucks, 3rd edition".
I do not think that all of this data is 100% correct, so, if there is any misinformation about this, we can tell the editor of the book.

Here Goes!!

That is exactly what I was refering to as having holes and omissions.
If you look at the model numbers they are randomly listed as S(I-6) or E (V-8). So you don't know if it is a compilation of all reguardless of engine or if there is data missing for the non-listed engine model. Not to mention the models simply not listed at all. By model number that list is about 60% of applications.

It's amazing how many more blazers were built from 71 to 72. 40000 more in one year. Or am I reading that wrong? Either way that Los gives a good view of most production numbers.

The 69 3/4 4x4 panel isn't listed at all...and I know at least one exists because it belonged to my dad when he was fighting fires and logging in the trinity area of California. A small town we used to live in called hayfork. I went back recently to find the carcas but it was long gone... I'm making that my next build if I can't find a real one. It's the kind of truck an 8 year old never forgets...
