This is a good history and lists a few year-year changes.

After reading the article, and noting that 1975 there was no production numbers given, there was 548,869 LUV's produced through it making. I figure there was an estimated 40,000 or so LUV's made in 1975. Thats put the grand total at about 589,000 LUV's! :) Plenty to go around! :P

That is an interesting article. I spotted a number of minor technical errors though, like tail light changes noted in 74 instead of 75 and showing "carburetion revisions" mentioned in 77. There is no mention of the major engine changes in 76 which led to the HP rating increase. The production numbers and commentary is good though.
