Yes it is factory. There are other pictures of them on the board. The heater delete parts are probably more rare than the truck.... ![]() LockDoc

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
That is one strange looking bed !! Wonder why GM would go to the extent of making a whole new design for Mexico ?

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
That's not all they did. South America got shortened Burbs akin to modern Tahoes and even avalanche style burbs.

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
I like how it looks. A 72 truck with 67-68 dash, steering wheel and hub caps. Weird drenched antenia on pass side????

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
That looks like the bed they used on the south american trucks. The cab looks like a U.S. Cab.
I really like the "Brazilian" or "south american" trucks. I know nothing about them but they have great lines. Kyle |

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
It's a GM bed made in Mexico. These shipped as cab and chassis.

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
I took a extended trip into the interior of Mexico in 1982 and what I remember most was the different looking Chevy truck which weren't very old then.

Re: 72 c10 Mexico edition?
If that bed was on a Ford they'd be asking "Who put the Chevy bed on?". Without the bed, the trucks were a low enough percentage of completion to avoid duties placed on imported products. They were considered parts shipments
