I would think that would be very difficult to quantify.

The Depot Hacks left the assembly line as commercial chassis without a body and then a whole bunch of other companies (Springfield, Hercules, Martin Parry, and others) made the bodies. Some customers probably made their bodies too.

For example, I have a '28 AB Canopy Express. It is considered a 1/2 ton truck. The chassis was built by Chevrolet (it's the same as the AB car) with a single piece firewall/dash and then the Hercules Body Company built the Canopy Express body for it. So, I suspect that my truck might be counted as a light commercial chassis somewhere, but probably not counted anywhere as part of the total number of Canopy Express' built that year.

Lots of really great information on body upfitters can be found on this site: http://www.coachbuilt.com/

If you can find a tag of who built your Depot Hackney body, you can probably find some data on how many were built there.
