That information doesn't seem to be around the 'net.. and when people ask, they always seem to get told to buy some book.

It's odd.. because the '41 thru '46 trucks have lots of good production information.. not sure why the '47 thru '53 trucks would be any different.

A person claimed to have a 'secret source' and posted these numbers..
