I am curious to know how many 1972 Jimmys were built. Does anyone know?

Thanks,
Ray

I'm also interested. I can't help but think my '72jimmy 2wd four speed was real common.

Having owned a few Jimmys and always wondering the same thing, I've learned they never kept an exact production number. But have been told by many who believe they made about 1:3 ratio of Jimmys to Blazers. I don't know how accurate that is, so maybe someone with a little more info will step in.

I wonder if the end of our VIN's could tell us how many were built, or they could've combined those numbers for GMC and Chevy.

I suppose if they were combined, we could use the highest production number form the VIN and subtract out the alleged Chevy production numbers.

For '72: Chevy started with 100001; GMC with 500001.

You'd have to know the highest VIN produced for each final assembly location.

I was just curious. There was one listed on eBay a while back. The add stated a low production number, I don't recall what it was now. I haven't seen very many regardless.
