I just found the official GM production figures for 1941 and 1942.
Vehicles built for commercial sale had different model codes. Taking the civilian style Suburbans and Panel Delivery vans produced for the US Government of 1/2 and 3/4 ton 4x2 size: 1941 Model Code and number built. 20A 1/2 ton Suburban 600 20D 3/4 ton Panel 4 No 1/2 ton Panel purchased by government. Total government purchases for 1941 including pick-ups, telephone etc 1,399 1942 Model Code and number built 21K 1/2 ton Suburban 676 21B 1/2 ton Panel 55 21F 3/4 ton Panel 44 Total government purchases for 1942 including pick-ups, telephone etc 1,641 Some conclusions: My vehicle from the data plate - 20D - is one of only four government order 3/4 ton panel trucks produced in 1941. There is now no mystery why there are so many Suburban photos with so many produced. These figures include about 50 RHD Pick-ups and 50 RHD Suburbans - who were the customers?
