Sales huVmrsation was solicited and received from all ir«nulacttirers of tracks. This irdormatkm was checked against data 

collected by the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association and the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association.

Two surveys were distributed to manufacturer members of the National Truck Equipment Association. The first 

survey was mailed in March by me Quidnunc Corporation. A second shorter survey was sent In July to aU 

ri_m__aci_irers who did not respond to the first survey. In total, 184 truck body and equipment manufacturers 

responded to the surveys. This represents over 40 percent of the manufacturer members of the NTEA.

Truck Sales 

The following tables provide information on commercial truck sales collected from truck manufacturers. All 

truck manufacturers provided data. The information is the most complete information on commercial truck 

sales that has yet been collected. The information differs from what is published by the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association (MVMA) because these data include only truck sales for commercial purposes. Therefore, the statistics reported here are less tnfitn MVMA reports because of the significant number of trucks sold 

for personal use. 

Commercial truck sales in the three-year period (1987-1989) declined by 4.5 percent. Nearly ail of this dedine 

was experienced by Class I trades, which experienced a 19.7 percent decline in two-wheel drive co-nmerdal 

sales and a 5.4 percent dedine in four-wheei drive commercial sales. A more positive performance was noted 

in the sale of comrnercial trucks in the heavier weight classes where sales growth was experienced by all 

dasses except Class V1L

Using the truck sales data, it is estimated that the total number of truck bodies manufactured in 1999 was 

between 450,000 and 500,000. The lower estimate assumes that truck bodies are installed on all trucks sold as 

a stripped chassis, chassis cutaway, or chassis cowl; that truck bodies are installed on all chassis cab trucks 

except for those in Class VIII (which are all assumed to be land trailers); and that truck bodies and/or equipment are installed on 15 percent of all pickups and 10 percent of all vans. The higher estimate reflects the installation of truck bodies, some Class VIII chassis cab configurations, and slightly higher percentages of vans 

and pickups on which truck bodies are installed. These estimates do not indude internal modifications to 

vans including shelving systems or tool boxes or truck bed liners installed on pickups.
