I would imagine that Speedy Bill is pretty attached to it.

That has to be the nicest looking engine I have seen. That belongs in a open hood 32 Ford.

The Brazil brochures are very interesting, FordMan. Can you imagine an F100 with a 2.3L? Snoooooooozer!

Last post on the link is funny and worth a browse.....Looks like they don't know what hit'em.

so funny how our "old cars" are current issue down there!

and that right side drive slick was cool.... I guess all them folks must drive backward cars because they are on the wrong side of the globe... there must be a BIG lense that splits the east and west halves of the world and makes everything backward on the wrong side!

Now tell me how cool it would be if you had a Normal Slick, and somehow procured the dash and steering, firewall, etc from a Backward Slick, and sectioned the two together.... so there's functional controls on both sides!!!! hahahah that would be odd.

you could compete for control of the truck! like when both pilots adamantly want to do something else in an airplane....

HEY, did you know that a 777 has a weak link between the pilots' controls so that if they force against eachother hard enough, they can break it loose, and each pilot can control his side of the airplane independenly from the other? Get all kinds of freaky stuff going on if they did that! especially if they were pissed at eachother and/or insane/suicidal
(it's designed to break loose in the event of a linkage Jam, but they could bust it for "fun")

Neat stuff!
Looks like they used Uni doors as well as tailgates and modified Uni beds.
Years ago I was into '60-'65 Falcons real heavy. Made contacts with people in Austrailia. There were several "similar differences" with those, also. The cars, not the people. Different year breaks for a given body style, subtle differences in trim, etc.

That's what I was thinking too. They got a LOT of use out of the Bumpside trucks.

So someone on the Crew Cab site started a thread regarding the south of the border trucks & it got me thinking that I haven't checked out that classified site for a while.
Lookie at the cool stuff!

(I wish there was more pics)

This baby is just...well...different. But in a cool way, of course.

This one is listed as a 1960 Ford Loba...

Sorta reminds me of a 59-ish Dodge sweptline back end.
