2005 Skipped model year

2006: 691



There was a grand total of 618 H1 Gas powered trucks produced in 11 years.



There were 65 Anniversary models in 2002.



Here is a Fact about SlantBacks



There were 39 slantbacks in 2000

AMG copied the slantback design from CalGold and they sued. They also had a leaking gasket around the lid. There were actually 41 made; that number included 2 engineering prototypes. After the 39, the rest were converted back to wagons (they were in various stages of completion). The 39 built were retro-fitted so they would not leak; although some had problems anyway. Rumor had it the last 2000 Slantback (a Red one) at AMG was actually converted to a 4 DR. HDTP for a customer before it left AMG.

[dwaxman1]

Here is the website of the company that sued AM General over the slantback design and name, I am not super familiar to all the details, like how they got away with, were able to produce, the Military version but not the civilian so if someone could shed some light on it.. please...and the reason this has come to light again is that Phil just had one of the original 39 slant backs at his place... very nice.. I have some photos I will post later on it..but in the meantime.. check out these guys..

I've been lurking around and learning as much as I can about the 1's as possible--this is very good information, thanks for posting!



Don't know why I'd want to learn so much about the 1's, other than there's 1 out there with my name on it, I just need to figure out where it's at.

[dwaxman1]

there is one with everyone's name on it out there....

Please tell that to my wife--she'll be telling me that the particular 1 that's out there for me is for another guy named Jim Davis!
