The question of how many K models were produced comes up on our forum every few years. Although K model production figures for Chevy are readily available (roughly 1000 K model Suburbans every year from '60 to '66), the corresponding numbers for GMC are not available. Production records were either lost in a fire or are buried in one of thousands of unmarked boxes in GM archives, depending on which story you want to believe. In any case, since Chevy outsold GMC about 4 or 5 to 1 back in those days, a rough estimate for GMC production of K model Suburbans would be about 200 per year, half with barn doors and half with liftgate/tailgate.
Clyde in SC is on our forum and has a '61 K Suburban.
