Welcome Facundo
Hi Facundo, Looks like a nice truck. A lot of work has been done already.
Argentina is a Large Country, Like "Texas BIG" , largo Y ancho?
Don't worry about your english, it's much better than my Spanish!
Ford has been in Argentina for a long time.
Are the parts easy to get for the old truck?
Such a big country, which area do you live? The largest City near me is Chicago.

Chop top
I would like to see that chop top process.
One thing about the 302 is that there are millions of them and
you can buy any kind of parts you want, stock or high performance.
They started making 302 in 1968 I think, and a lot of people put them
in our trucks.
The problem for you is the high cost of shipping so you must be absolutely
sure when you buy something, so you don't get the wrong part.
Spend a lot of time on the internet looking and here to ask questions
so you get them right the first time. I have found a lot of information here
on this site which saved me a lot of time and money.
I like the BIG red Search feature in the center of the page here
and if you want to be very specific to search information here you
can go to the "Forums" drop down menu, next to "Home" top left part
of this page and click on that search to refine it.
Good luck!

Interesting truck-it looks like a unibody, but the bed is separate. Custom bodywork, or an Argentinan specific model?

In Argentina some model was import is unibody.
In late 1913, Ford Motor Co. decided to move to Buenos Aires the first American branch and the second in the world.
The F- series were armed with parts USA and nacional.
Question
who are Bumpside trucks?

Bumpside trucks (here in the usa) are the 67-72 f100/250s...but you see them as these model trucks.

I meant that it's a '65 with a separate bed, but has the unibody styling lines & wheelwell openings. I've never seen one like that before, but I like it!

Bumpsides n Dentsides
It looks like there is a lot of bodywork action going on there Facundo. Nice work man.
That's a wild lookin' ride there. That 66 four seater. I'd drive it!
That's what most newer pickups here are like now. I was riding in a friends 2012 F-150 and although it is new and nice,
45 Thousand dollars nice, you still can't put anything in the back that is larger than a bicycle. What a waste.
The slang for 1967-1972 (6th generation) Pickups are bump sides because the body and trim protrudes out from the body a little.
The next generation after that, there is an opposite effect, indented somewhat.
"Dent side"
Good old Wikipedia, for what it's worth explains the styles pretty good.
Look at this link Facundo.
