LonghornJeff · 07-16-2007, 09:39 PM

3068

LonghornJeff · 07-16-2007, 09:41 PM

KS10734 1/2 ton 4x4 Fleetside prod. tot. 3,068

Mudder · 07-16-2007, 10:26 PM

I would think that would be pretty rare if you have one.

1969k10stepside · 07-16-2007, 11:22 PM

Jeff is right on the short k10 fleetside production numbers.
Luckily mine was originally a stepside so its production number was less--1438

Would that be just 6 cyls?How about KE10734s?Uh Dustin,you`d be lucky if you had kept it original

.Both numbers are low.But,means nothing if it ain`t,now,what it once was.

I looked over my list of production numbers and for some reason all the SWB 4wds had the "KS".The list has the 3/4 ton with "KE" though

Mine was originally a 6 cylinder to so the numbers were probably lower but now the truck's a v8 fleetside...Of all of them,you have to figure rust,wrecks,and other things have destroyed atleast 1/4 of them

Bishops Trucks · 07-17-2007, 08:44 AM

Is that 3068 for all '71 SWB K10's no matter what engine size it had?

1969k10stepside · 07-17-2007, 08:50 AM

I would assume the numbers are posted of 71 K10 SWB regardless of motor.
Here is a portion of part of my list of production numbers.This is for 71
1/2-Ton Commercial 4x4 - Model K/Series 10 - 115-in. w.b
MODEL BODY TYPE PRICE WEIGHT PROD.TOTAL
KS10734 Fleetside 6.5ft 3414 3824 3068
KS10704 Step-Side 6.5ft 3414 3739 1438

Note the "KS" which we asume means 4wd w/ 6 cylinder.
Now,here is 71 K20 production numbers:
3/4-Ton Commercial 4x4 - Model C/Series 20 - 127-in. w.b
MODEL BODY TYPE PRICE WEIGHT PROD.TOTAL
KE10903 Chassis & Cab 3641 3659 509
KE10904 Step-Side 8ft 3804 4061 674
KE10934 Fleetside 8ft 3804 4156 10066
KE10906 Suburban(doors) 4530 4414 256
KE10906 Suburban(gate) 4538 4414 353

Notice the "KE".Maybe they think "S" is 1/2 ton and "E" is 3/4 ton? Dont know..

Here is the list I have seperate of the swb K10 production numbers 67-72.It doesnt give a motor specification though.
1967 K10 Fleetside 6.5ft 1046
1967 K10 Step-Side 6.5ft 1229
1971 K10 Step-Side 6.5ft 1438
1968 K10 Fleetside 6.5ft 1449
1970 K10 Step-Side 6.5ft 1629
1969 K10 Fleetside 6.5ft 1649
1969 K10 Step-Side 6.5ft 1698
1968 K10 Step-Side 6.5ft 1706
1972 K10 Step-Side 6.5ft 1736
1970 K10 Fleetside 6.5ft 2554
1971 K10 Fleetside 6.5ft 3068
1972 K10 Fleetside 6.5ft 6069

Dustin,
My '68 K20 LWB is "KE"
'71 K10 SWB is "KE"
It just gets so confusing.

**special-K** · 07-17-2007, 09:17 AM

I think that number is total going by other production numbers.I guess since a six is the basis,they go by that,KS.Even though there is a standard eight/KE model(307),it is still an upgrade model.They have to use some model number for reference.
