The 8,000 military order is as close as you will get to proof as it is in the Chrysler Corporation serial number manual as per picture above.
You must remember these were basically civilian trucks painted green coming from a very popular line that was in production for around 10 years. It is quite reasonable to suppose Colin's 27,000 grand total is accurate ie 8,000 for military orders and 19,000 for civilian and other Government department orders (including exports).
