Quite a few threads/posts on here about them. If you type "Brazil trucks" into the Google search box above and click the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks", then click on the "Google" button they will come up....

I wouldn't say the Suburban is modeled after the truck. They were designed as part of the same line of models and released together, same as their USA counterparts. I see shades of being modeled after the 64-66 Chevy light trucks.

harpo231 · 10-07-2017, 10:02 PM

I dont see it but .. thats cool

Pretty neat.

**special-K** · 10-08-2017, 06:29 AM

It's not like they are copied from 60-66s but body is built similar with some cues taken from them, such as grille and tail lights. The distinctive upper body line of the USA Chevys is certainly missing, so a very different look on the side. But the hood/fender deal is same and so is the windshield. Look at this one with no hood to distract

Here is a '64 grille that to me shows shades of the 60/61 grille

Definitely has some styling of the older us Chevy's
Curious if they ever made them in a 4x4 platform. Always see them lowered or stock 2wheel.

**special-K** · 10-08-2017, 09:48 AM

Not sure about that. I know they built larger military 4x4s

mike16 · 10-08-2017, 04:15 PM

it certainly is an aquired taste

is that a 250 or an older 235 type engine?

did they continue to make the 235's in the 70's?

**special-K** · 10-08-2017, 07:10 PM

Probably a 250. Let me check something I saved.

Could be. GM "sold" the 235 engine rights to Toyota for use in Land Cruisers, and VW washed their hands of the Beetle, but they were built for many years after that, in Brazil, IIRC.

**special-K** · 10-08-2017, 09:32 PM

A Brazilian Suburban. Man, that's a lot of Suburbans!! Actually they are called Veraneios. Take a look at the steering wheel on this '72. Looks like a fancy earlier truck wheel. The bed floors are wood in the trucks. They were all 3spd and there were two 6s offered. I know one was a 261, so the other must be a 235. There was a pickup listed on Ebay in Miami last year and that's where I got the info

trac209 · 10-09-2017, 11:40 AM

Very cool.i would drive any of those varieties posted

70 shorty · 10-09-2017, 06:13 PM

Very cool thread. I always love learning more about our Chevy trucks, and I've never seen, nor heard of these before. You'd definitely be the only one around with on if you had one here.

Andy4639 · 10-09-2017, 07:19 PM

They look like a Ford to me guy's! Dang that was a hard word to type for me.

mike16 · 10-09-2017, 07:39 PM

it looks just like the 235 but no way iy could be a toyota version... installed in a chevy?

**special-K** · 10-09-2017, 07:46 PM

I think GM sold the design rights, only, and reserved their right to produce as well. I read that they came with either 235 or 261

mike16 · 10-09-2017, 10:04 PM

yep, a 261 was available up until 1979 in south american gm vehicles.
