those are cool, thanks for sharing.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-09-2012, 01:18 PM

I'm guessing those prices are in pesos?

jjzepplin · 08-09-2012, 01:30 PM

What is magna gasoline? Propane? Not much for those beds but the clusters look interesting. Tailgates are kinda kool too.

c1069 · 08-09-2012, 01:34 PM

palallin · 08-09-2012, 02:32 PM

Beds and tailgates look like F@rds.

budnikguy · 08-09-2012, 02:37 PM

dig them!!! Yo quiero uno

BlackedOut67shorty · 08-09-2012, 02:38 PM

Yeah those beds look pretty ugly lol, still cool though. I wonder if stepsideslook different too

Be nice to snag those propane regulaters

67chevy1series · 08-09-2012, 02:48 PM

Seems like almost all of these trucks were heater deletes.... I think in Mexico they treat heater cabs like we treat a/c cabs!

These trucks look alot like the tri-fives fleet option trucks.. These trucks were the absolute cheapest truck you could get, they were practically built just by using chevy and gmc's scraps and were modified and thrown together to make a truck... The beds look like modified 60 to 66 fleetsides.

I find it interesting all the Mexican trucks use the 67-8 dash cluster and steering wheel instead of changing in 69. I also find it interesting that they are all short beds, did they not make a long bed in Mexico. I do love the camper truck though.

There, in Mexico almost all people don't like long beds.
Thats why they are swb

Katrina/10 · 08-09-2012, 03:10 PM

Interesting to see these trucks as they were sold in other countries. I wonder why the Mexican versions had that odd bed that doesn't look like it really belongs on any generation truck. Ever see any Mexican stepsides?

c1069 · 08-09-2012, 03:29 PM

here is an vintage video from youtube. Enjoy it...

No, I don't.
But those beds were maid in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon.
Cab and chassis were from USA.

70K10Hunter · 08-09-2012, 03:43 PM

mgkgmc · 08-09-2012, 03:52 PM

Well, I think you have to travel south beyond the border.

Pues, creo que tienes que viajar al sur mas allá de la frontera.

I saw that truck is nice. But I don't like the new ls motor, I'm old school lover.

mgkgmc · 08-09-2012, 04:05 PM

Im not to fond of the interior job but I like the 5.3 lol.

l was wondering how they fit the modern column in the truck though. It would take some work I think someone could have a nice Mexican c10 custom.

The truck in the old ad has rounded rear wheel openings and the funky tailgate!

Yet another variant!
