Mexican Fords
Saw thread about Brazilian Fords, and that reminded me of a story from a mag years back showing a picture of a 73-79 style Ford "suburban" Ford made for the Mexican market. I think it was called an "El Detalle".

I apologize for resurecting such an old post, but...Just saw a picture and a comment about the El Deatlle Mexican Ford. Said it was built in Mexico for the Mexican market. The truck appeared to use the cab and doors from a Crew Cab. The cargo area, sides and roof, were integral with the rest of the truck. Looked like a lengthened version of a Centurion conversion, without the "Bronco bump" in the roof. The picture I saw was of a 2wd 1/2 ton version.
I would be interested in any further info. Anyone know of one of these for sale?
Thanks,
Roger Carter

And here I thought some one was going to say like there are thousands of these trucks in mexico and only sale for a few hundred a piece and we could buy them up for parts. Thanks for the dissapointment.

Thanks for all the input.
Supercab, thanks for the link to NC Specialties. You are correct, his truck does ook like a work of art.
The picture I referred to in my earlier post is on page 129 in a book titled "Illustrated Buyer's Guide (tm) Ford Pickup Trucks", authored by Paul G. Mclaughlin. The NC Specialties rig is very similar, while at the same time quite different.
