      A total of 963 2R5 trucks were built in Hamilton for Canadian sale. See chapter 8 here:


      There's no way to determine how many were built with a specific set of optional equipment without going though the factory production orders one by one -- and no one has done that yet.

            Welcome to the SDC and to the SDC Forum Ken!

            What State, Province or Country is Port Hardy?

            It would be good if EVERYONE were a bit more descriptive in their Locations on their Profile.

              Rich,
              Port Hardy is a small community of about 4000 people at the very northern end of Vancouver Island. Ken is several hours away from the rest of the Vancouver Island SDC folks!
