I wonder if any actually got made, the styling is kind of ugly. Its weird how they all have that funny rear fender thingy.

**Canadian694x4** · 05-10-2004, 12:51 AM

Hey those are cool...where'd ya come across those pics? E-bay?

Hooter · 05-10-2004, 01:11 AM

with the amount of spanish I learned off of Sesami St I still cant read those dangit

lukecp · 05-10-2004, 01:14 AM

Humm.....a '71-'72 panel truck! Weird....i would like to see some of those in real life. As well as the funky wheelwells and lack of side mearkers. Weird stuff....

lukecp · 05-10-2004, 01:15 AM

Also....C/10 badges on a '71-'72....more weird, lol.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 05-10-2004, 05:01 AM

Kinda looks like they were still using the '67-'68 chisel nosed hood too in the ..Nueva Pick-up" spec sheet. I've never seen the rear quarter panel wheel high trim lines before. I think I'd like it on a clean-body panel or sub. I have seen a few Mexican Chevy trucks '73 -later models with '67/'72 style fleetside tail lights. Both in Mexico (Sonora) and Tucson. We see quite a few Sonoran rancheros up here shopping -- especially at the holidays-- newer Mexican Chevy trucks have a grille like a GMC but it has a big Bow Tie in the center instead of the GMC letters.

Found these at Carlisle years back. Somewhere I've also got 72 South of the Border specs for a "C70" that's really a C40-C60 type.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-10-2004, 07:21 AM

Those could be cool looking street rod truck's.. Has anybody ever seen em with the funky rear body line???

cheyenne10 · 05-10-2004, 08:05 AM

Those top lines on the 3 burbs look a lot like the 6x-66 suburban lines that were used on the earlier models. I think they do or a least one shows sloped 67/68 hood on 72 (I WANT ONE OF THESE HOODS)

**CPNE** · 05-10-2004, 10:07 AM

The guy with the tie looks like Sadaam Hussien. I wonder if those are WMD's being loaded into that pickup?

grebus1 · 05-10-2004, 01:50 PM

I ran the text on the brochure through the Altavista.com translator. It's a little rough in spots as I couldn't read it correctly from the pictures. Here you go:

In any one of these versions.

A. Double cabin-3 doors with covered trunk “acquittal and pon” (removeable). Adaptable for passengers and load. As much in the rural life as in the city, their service and utility do not have competition.

B. Like rural-3 doors-9 passengers-2 doors luggage. Great resistance and capacity. Indispensable in the industrial sector and the establishments of fields. Ample visibility. Great maneuverability.

C. Rural 2 doors-2 doors, 6 passengers, 2 back doors for luggage. Amplitude and comfort. Strong and powerful, of smooth walking and great stability. Advanced design. Exceptional for city and field.

D. Integral-2 van doors. Back load. Special for delicate loads. Strongly reinforced in its steel walls. Agile, very maneuverable in the urban zones. For commerce, industry, transport of charges.

The quality is a single one!

Because the quality not to puedambiar: it comes from mark. And this elegant and dinamica esdas versions of brave.

hmm...I think the rearend of the panel and the burb is a total redesign. Notice how the roof flares up after the front doors, and the windows are shaped differently, but the gently sloping 67-72 body line is still present on the sides.

Also, notice the third door on the burb and the crew cab...it has a cutout for the wheel, meaning the wheelbase is shorter than what we're used to...weird.

Speaking of the crew cab, I bet it is hard to find a replacement rear door for it...the upper corner is rounded, unlike burb rear doors. Although that is how I think a 67-72 crew cab should look.

Also, the panel has the fuel filler in the regular pickup spot...not on the quarter panel.

And the truck in the last ad does not have the strange body line flare that all the other trucks have in the first ad.

**CPNE** · 05-10-2004, 02:43 PM

Looks to me like artist renderings coupled with some tequila fueled imagination.

I see proportions that aren't correct, hints of 60-66, 67-68, and 72 styling and things just plain wrong (like the gas filler location on the panel). It's almost as if the artist was given a photo of a cab and chassis and told to guess what the various configurations "might" look like.

If something like this was actually produced, some of our members from Texico

would have spotted them coming north in the dead of night.

I'm not from Missouri, but you still need to "show me" proof.
