Most of you guys and girls aren't old enough to have seen one of these or even recall them being manufactured. They were mass produced and sold in Mexico. They were the closest thing to a Ford Excursion that Ford was manufacturing in the mid 1970s. (And keep in mind that Mexico also had the only 2006 Ford Excursions.)

I have seen this one on here before. Ya way cool. Not sure about Brazil but Argentina
will not allow autos to leave there country, or at least be sold to the US of A. According to ND Bill.
There are so many cool rigs south of Panama it's staggering. There are 50's and 60's and 70's style trucks built new up into the 90's that I know of.
It's nothing to call a cab and have a 54 Chev Bel air show up. So freaking cool I think. I so much
want to go down past Mexico and check it out.

Bookmarked it so I can spend a few more hours on there. The really good stuff is what comes up after watching
the featured video.

Thanks for the plug. I run "Caught at the Curb", and the very last picture in the series you linked to is the panel verson of the truck pictured in the original post, albeit a bit newer. That truck is identified as a "Ford B-150". I'm not sure what the passenger version is called, but I really like it!
Here's another one that I just added to that posting... I found this on Google Earth Street View.

Folks can drive anything they want. I have no interest in being in a "smart car", aka "coffin on wheels".
My diesel ex gets more mpg than my wifes explorer, the '80 firebird, '90 s-10, and '97 tahoe i owned prior.
Got 27mpg in a dang minivan driving from reno to denver in may. Our bodies were so sore afterwards, not worth it to me.

Since we are going old school I would take one with a 460 and a t-18 or Np435, np205 t-case, dana 60 rear, dana 44 reverse rotation front would be adequate.
