I have personally documented at least 1,000, and I have pictures of another several hundred.
Given that more pop up on E-bay every day, and new ones are found by forum members and others all the time, I would guess 1/4 of production or 20,000 is left in some form. This is everything from a beat up hulk in a junkyard, to a show truck.
Every time I look around another several pop up, and we all know how useful people found them, which is why so many beat up ones are still limping along, or stored in case they are needed again.
Most classic car or truck value calculators figure that 10% of vehicles that old survived, but that would only be 8,600 trucks, and that does not match the numbers of trucks I have seen. If there were only 8,600 trucks left then I have seen at least half of what is left, which seems unlikely.
