There's one on the yellow B100 he posted. It almost looks like it sticks out kinda far from the body of the truck.
I see that there must be a flat panel all the way across the back so the bumper can't tuck in like it should. Also his blue truck also sticks out farther than the USA trucks.
For a rear bumper how about the contour one on the back of 78/79 Broncos. Also the sport one on trucks of the same era.
Sweet truck by the way. Have you looked into what it takes to import it to the states?
Thanks for the compliment! Importing it is straight forward if the vehicle is 25 years or older. In addition, I register the vehicle in my name first in Mexico which makes it even easier for an American to import it. I have found several bump sides and dent sides that even have USA titles already. I just sold this one about a week ago in US.

Here’s one with a different bumper. Which one is this?

Interesting that BRAKES, OIL, and HIGH BEAM are all in Spanish, but yet everything thing else looks to be in Inglés(lights, wipers, alt, temp) and also they put the odometer ABOVE the speedo instead of below.
It would be really interesting to know who built the unique parts of these bodies and how they did it.
Obviously, it's not as easy as grafting an RV to a cab and chassis unit but the principle is the same. Someone created these body segments out of existing Ford stampings or, less likely, completely from scratch. Most likely it was a combination of techniques.
Did the Ford assembly plant ship incomplete units to a coach builder or was this all done in-house?
There are highly skilled metal workers here on FTE and I'd guess that some of them might be inspired to follow these examples. Imagine a uni-body dent pick-up.

I’ve done a lot of fabrication and composite bodies in the past. I am thinking of pulling splash molds from this body and rear doors before I have the paint redone. Any interest in people wanting replica structural fiberglass panels out there?
I'd be interested in a complete B100 like you have found. Not the right time now though but maybe soon. I think they are cool. Always love the dent sides. I worked in a Ford dealer body shop right out of high school. Worked on lots of dents. Very easy to work on & fix.
I also owned a 79 for 20 years from new. Always wanted one back again. This might be it's replacement.
Do you see these around very much?

They pop up occasionally. Finding one that is not restored with manual transmission is much easier than finding them in great shape with an automatic trans.
