Brazilian versions
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. After 1985, a redesigned pickup similar[vague] to the U.S. 1973–87 C/K truck was introduced as the C-20, powered with the 4.1 l (250 cu in) inline six of the U.S. Chevy II/Nova. Diesel and ethanol versions were also sold, labeled as D-20 and A-20 respectively (later models of the D-20 replaced the Perkins Q20B with a Maxion S4). The original version of the Veraneio was kept in production until 1988 (model year 1989), but it was eventually replaced with an updated version based on the C-20 family. In 1997 GM introduced in Brazil the then-current Silverado pickup, which lasted until 2001, and the Tahoe, which in Brazil was named the Grand Blazer. The 4.1 L (250 cu in) inline six engine with 138 hp (103 kW) was offered on both models with option for a MWM 4.2 L (260 cu in) turbo diesel engine producing 168 hp (125 kW). But the model earned a reputation for being a less capable work vehicle than its predecessor. After the Silverado was discontinued in Brazil, GM ceased offering any trucks in this sector in Brazil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevro...ilian_versions ![]() ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCElB9u_WNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4Rxd0j0rRs http://www.carvelho.com.br/loja/inde...123e635c62b128 63 chevy brasil http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=399861 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=4652319 ==================================================================================================== ============================================ ==================================================================================================== ============================================ Argentina versions In 1959, manufacturing plants are enlarged and set up to produce cars, pick ups and trucks. On January 25, 1960 the first Argentinean Chevrolet pick-up was introduced. The following year the national government approves the investment plan for 45 million dollars which included a plant of 12,000 m2. On March 12, 1962 the first Chevrolet 400 was made based on the North American Chevy II. The original plan considered a national integration of 50% during the first year of production; this amount had to be 90% in 1964 with a production of 15,000 units. By 1969, the Chevy line, derived from the American Chevy Nova, was presented. In the middle of the seventies, General Motors market share was reduced sharply from 9% in 1976 to 2% in 1978. Losses exceeded $30 million and the head company in the USA decided to halt production activities in Argentina. The Chevrolet trademark reappeared in 1985 for the production of the pick-up in its versions C-20 and D-20. In 1995, a plan for the manufacturing destined for export specially to Brazil and other countries of Mercosur materialized with the building of a new facility near Rosario, Santa Fe, for the production of the Opel-based Chevrolet Corsa and the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Grand Vitara 4x4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet#Argentina ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1960 Argentina Chevy truck double cabs trucks http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=6938743 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Post your Chevrolet Brasil & Argentina Version Pickup Trucks
Very interesting, have never heard of these.
I'm sinning for saying this but the pickups in the first photos look too much like `55 Fords with bad customizing. Right down to the beam front axles.

Block your view of the grille and headlights and the whole front is a dead ringer for the F100.

Re: Post your Chevrolet Brasil & Argentina Version Pickup Trucks
These are insanely cool.
That would be one to own here in the UK, where it would be the only one, for sure. Wonder how many made it to the USA.
