1949 is the only AD year that has that breakdown. This out-of-print book is really hit or miss.

Hit or miss for sure.

That 1/2 ton figure also covers the sedan delivery, suburbans, panel vans , canopy express & all of the other configurations
{such as flat face cowl 3102 ,cab chassis 3103 bodies & chassis/cowl w/ windshield 3112 models }.

There is no way of telling how many 1/2 ton stepside trucks were actually produced. Same thing for the 3/4 ton figure.
