Re: 1972 Brazil C10
I think the flipper got his years mixed up. I like the the spare tire mount in the front of the bed

Re: 1972 Brazil C10
Why would GM build them so different in Brazil? Wouldn't it be more economical to use the same tooling and fixtures from US plants? Cool looking regardless

Re: 1972 Brazil C10
That is a very nicely preserved truck. I'm curious what the round thing on the upper right of the rear end is, though.

Re: 1972 Brazil C10
Actually, that is a 1972 Brazilian C10. This is from Wikipedia:
"A variant of the C/K family was introduced in Brazil during the 1960s. These used the instrument cluster from the 1960–66 US Chevrolet C/K series although the exterior sheet metal layout is exclusive to Brazil. The models built included a light truck, named C-10, and a SUV named Veraneio (initially known simply as Chevrolet C-1416),[65] introduced in 1964. They were initially powered with a Chevrolet 4.2 l (260 cu in) inline six based on the pre-1962 "Stovebolt" engines. Later they used the 4.1 l (250 cu in) engine from the Chevrolet Opala. In later years a four-cylinder diesel (Perkins Q20B) was also offered labeled as D-10 (light truck only). An ethanol-powered version of the C-10 was offered beginning in the 1981, dubbed the A-10." Pretty cool... POP

Re: 1972 Brazil C10
So do you think anyone is going to pay $29,000 for it? That seems kind of high, but I really don't know.

Re: 1972 Brazil C10
more like a LUV looks like a Brazillian C10. They came first (and the LUV is an Isuzu)
