I generaly guess that 20% or less of a given group, (like 820 V8 W100s built in 1966) was Town Wagons, most likely less.
My guess for total 1961-66 PW TW production was around 1,000, most likely less. 8,261 W100s (both V8 and slant 6) were made between 1961 and 1966, but some years seem to have had higher production of Town Wagons then others.
I figure around 10%-15% a year on average, and then I fudge a bit and give a round number of 1,000 trucks.
This is pure guesswork based on the number of other 1961-66 W100 pickups I have seen vs the number of 1961-66 W100 Town Wagons and Town Panels I have seen.
To my knowledge there are no records of this at Chrysler, so it is all about guessing now.
