Gentlemen:
It has been my understanding that BN7 / BT7 was overlapped with the start of
BJ7 production.
I am looking at Clausagers book on page 89, which gives beginning and ending
VIN #s (and dates) for all 3000's. Assuming that this table is accurate,
this is exactly why it is next to impossible to determine the number of top
shift BN7's - because of the undetermined number of BJ7's interspersed. As
Steve says, it would take someone to go through all of the individual
production records during that period to get a more-or-less accurate count.
I recall (from many, many years ago) that a couple of knowledgeable tri-carb
guru's best estimates of top shift BN7's was somewhere between 120 and 140
of the total 355 built.
