Air cooled Deutz..... Is that out of an allis-chalmers tractor? Way cool even if it isn't.

I would have voted for it, even without the diesel power plant. Nice pickup.

I like to do that here. But my climate in the winter is not friendly to air cooled Deutz diesel engines. Hard to start as my Skid steer has one and has to be in heated shop to start in winter.
Love the trucks colors.

It probably isn't a conversion but was made factory like that btw, there is a history of diesel engined F-series light trucks in Argentina.

Yes, I agree. It is time to head south of the border and go truck hunting.
So if this is factory than I wonder if like Ford of Argentina or Brazil would have parts for
us to order to do something like this. Like mounts, cross members, Bell housing and so
much more. Maybe even "Made In Mexico" like most Volkswagen parts are today.
Ya wile I'm dreaming maybe the ROTW Guy could start a parts store and source stuff like
this out for us Gringos.
