Anyone else notice in the spanish version, the truck pictured has what looks like a bumpside tailgate and taillights and the taillights have no back up lights?
Plus the interior has a three spoke steering wheel (I like it better!).

I noticed it, I read that Ford of Brazil kept the bumpside version of the F series through something like the mid 90s though.

That brochure is either Mexico or possibly Argentina. In Brazil the language is Portuguese and the word for trucks is caminhoes (with a little squiggly line above the o). The brochure is in spanish (camiones).

Sounds like your truck has the amp and oil pressure gauges. That was optional, standard were idiot lights. Thats what you see in the picture.

The red squares above the turn signals are the idiot lights for oil pressure and charge. This is the standard inst. panel. When your ordered the gauges they took the place of the idiot lights.
