Ive seen a lot of wierd beds on chevys over the years but I dont think ive ever seen that done. I wonder how they got that tailgate on there. It must have eaten a dodge cause its $#@tting a ford.

That's how the truck was built from the factory for Mexico.

Seriously ? I never knew that. I learn something new every day. Im going to have to read up on that one of these days when im not buried at the shop.

Want your mind blown? In other countries these trucks were offered in configurations similar to today's Tahoe and Avalanche.

See post # 11 here:

**DeadheadNM** · 07-23-2014, 09:38 PM

Nice Mike! Thanks for posting.

**michael bustamante** · 07-23-2014, 09:59 PM

No problem. And yup that is a mexico factory bed! I wanted to take more pics but i was too busy trying to get him to sell it to me!
I hate when someone has what i want and wont sell it to me!

**michael bustamante** · 07-23-2014, 10:01 PM

Oh and those are factory 16" 3 nub steel wheels. I might have talked him out of those!

Oldtruckfanatic · 07-23-2014, 10:06 PM

Ok so upon closer inspection that looks like a 60's lower bedside but with a beltline to match the cab with a 67-72 top on it. Its hard to see the body lines in those pics. Is that about what they look like ? If I had ever seen one for sale I might have walked away up to this point.

**michael bustamante** · 07-24-2014, 12:15 AM

Yup thats really what they look like. Mismatched bodylines and all. The gauges were all in spanish too. Really different looking. The tailgate looks like 60-66 fleetside but the are differences. This was was reallyrusted out though. It had an origimal 292 with a 3 on the tree

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 07-24-2014, 12:27 AM

Dollars to Pesos, the Speedo is calibrated in Klicks, too.
We see them here in Tucson occasionaly.

67chevy1series · 07-24-2014, 01:38 AM

I have a set of 16" steelies on my 67 now.. Very cool rims. I'm digging the truck, has a pretty cool stance... Although I'm pretty sure there aren't any cpp drop spindles or coils under there so....

**special-K** · 07-24-2014, 09:48 AM

These trucks used 67/68 steering wheels and hubcaps from factory,through '72. They were all base level no chrome 6cyl/3spd no chrome SWB trucks with 16" rims.

You should see the earlier and later GM Trucks from South of the Border. There was even a mini truck (C10 Brasil) and SUV (Veraneio) that I'd like to have in the worst way

**67 cst swb** · 07-24-2014, 11:04 AM

So, based on the first picture here. I have a question.
Its a 71 Chevrolet... but it retains 6 lug wheels?

This makes me want to plan a vacation to Mexico and take mucho peso's and hopefully find one.

I'm pretty sure they're all drum brake through '72. I'd like to know for sure,but that's what I've been thinking. I want to go to Brazil and bring back a Veraneio or C10

abraham.hd · 07-24-2014, 02:35 PM

I wish one day I could come across one every time I visit mexico. I'm pretty sure they would let it go with the right price

**michael bustamante** · 07-24-2014, 04:47 PM

Great pics! Ibe never seen one even half restored. Yup theyre 6 lug drums til 72.
Someday ill own one.......

Oldtruckfanatic · 07-24-2014, 05:34 PM

Funny. I have been into these trucks since I was 15. Im 41 now and had never seen or heard about those til you posted that pic. Very interesting stuff.

Oldtruckfanatic · 07-24-2014, 05:44 PM

Wow. I have never heard any of this. Pretty cool.

68shortwide · 07-24-2014, 05:49 PM

Would love to have a panel verenios looks cool and would certainly be different

Oldtruckfanatic · 07-24-2014, 06:06 PM

Id love to have that double cab lol

Oldtruckfanatic · 07-24-2014, 06:07 PM

Oddly enough I do sheetmetal work. I might have to find some pics and get a rusty burb and build my own. I bet pics arent easy to find either I aleeady saved these.

Oldtruckfanatic · 07-24-2014, 06:09 PM

Thats says double cab 3 door doesnt it. Who reads spanish what does the rest of that say? I see adaptable for passengers or cargo. I dont understand the removible part but must have to do with the rear seat or cab wall. And looking again that's going to take two truck cabs to get right not a burb. The doors are like truck doors.

67ChevyRedneck · 07-24-2014, 07:24 PM

Oh no my friend, have you not seen frizzle's Tahoe? Cut down burb. Looks perfect.

You'll probably spend a few hours reading through/drooling over this... and it's not even done yet!
