mattthebrat 11-06-2008, 03:33 PM Not exactly anything technical, but I thought this would be the best place to ask. Does anyone have an idea of how many 88-98 style pickup were made, and are still on the road, or someplace where I could find out. This is a question that really intrigues me. jjw565 11-06-2008, 04:22 PM no idea for the US but I remember back when these trucks were in production in Canada Ford always claimed in their adds to be "Canada's #1 selling pickup" and I looked it up and they were selling something like 700,000/year and chevy's and GMC's were about 600,000 each per year, totaling 1.3 million which is way more than ford but thats advertising for you. Since the US population is roughly 10x Canada, you might be able to extrapolate and multiply by the # of years these were made. I guess that would be about 1.3millionx10x10 years = 130 million which seems ridiculously large so maybe the extrapolation doesn't work very well, considering this would be like 1 for every 3 people :) mattthebrat 11-06-2008, 08:09 PM Where did you find that information?? jjw565 11-06-2008, 09:12 PM I am sorry but I have no idea, I looked that up years ago and was just going by memory, maybe some quality time with Google might dig it up BigBlueChevy 11-06-2008, 11:14 PM its one of those random bits of information that is totally useless and you have no idea why you know it but then somehow, somewhere along the line, its used :D jjw565 11-07-2008, 01:21 AM exactly, like you can't remember your anniversary but you can remember the torque spec of the head bolts on a 6.5L :) bk95td 11-07-2008, 01:25 AM Try wicopedia[ithink I spelled it right] They have all kinds of useless info. Brooklyn tow 11-07-2008, 08:04 PM exactly, like you can't remember your anniversary but you can remember the torque spec of the head bolts on a 6.5L :) It would really be something if your wife knew the torque spec's :p: odlaw 11-07-2008, 09:08 PM I'm not sure about the chevys but something like 80% of all fords are still on the road..... The other 20% actually made it home. :D ercaduceus 11-07-2008, 10:29 PM I'm not sure about the chevys but something like 80% of all fords are still on the road.....
