cmayna, I think BC59 has all that. What he is looking for is the number of 1960 C10 trucks produced at the Oakland plant. Something that it doesn’t seem GM did a good job of in record keeping or providing such data to the public. Some folks have found full year production data for a few years, but that for the most part was only national production totals, not individual plant counts.

Bill Hanlon’s suggestion to reach out to the GM Heritage Archive I think has merit. It may take some emails, phone calls and persistence to get an answer, but that may be the only source capable of providing such numbers.
