1SJ and 1SK were special order codes (had to be requested). For those looking at VINs, any SS sold in Canada was given build codes B4U and SSX. Here's some interesting information that was also provided to me. The package was 50 pages and covered everything down to what metal the exhaust manifold was made of! I highly recommend people to check out this service, not just for the number, but for the hugely detailed build information you get too. I scanned the page of the documents which gives the production number. But keep in mind, everything except 2003, 2004, and 2006 are still estimates! The 20 numbers were a bit hazy to me based on the VIN results posted but that's expected. This method also helped me to estimate the color distribution for 2006 assuming there were 495 silver in 2006 ( ). Interestingly the 2006 number I got is relatively close to an estimate that has been posted before, which gives me hope that the other numbers estimated by VIN researching are also pretty accurate. *Assuming color ratio similar to 2003 (from 674 vehicles) Maybe someone with a 2005 and a 2007 could talk to Vintage Vehicle Services too and complete the table officially I take no credit for these numbers except 2006. Here's a table to summarize production numbers for 2003-2007. So I got the documents and a GM official record of how many 2006 Silverado SSs were built: 1169 (non Intimidator). The guy I talked to was skeptical that he could find production numbers but if I ordered all the build records for my truck (which I was doing anyway) then any production number information would be in there too if it existed. This place handles requests for build and production information for all GM vehicles built and sold in either the US or Canada, essentially archives. These guys were more helpful (that's Canada for ya eh!) and passed me on to GM Vintage Vehicle Services. So I called GM in Canada since they were all produced in Ontario anyway. Not surprisingly the guys I talked to were confused and not helpful, and claimed that official records for these trucks don't exist. Feel free to skip to the numbers below if you don't like stories.įrom the excellent work of others here the numbers for 20 are well established but no one really knows what's going on with 2005-2007 "officially." So I gave up for a couple months, but I just couldn't let it go so I called up GM headquarters to see what I could find or who I could talk to. Here's my kind of long winded story of how this all came to be. Late to the party, I know, but better late than never right? Like many here I wanted to know how rare my new favorite toy was so I spent a couple hours going through the threads here and checking out other sources.
