Weird things occur in Mexico. There is a 2005 or so Dodge 2500 here in town that is a regular cab short bed 5-lug truck. I know for a fact the truck is from Mexico.

Re: Mexican Chevy Truck

Those are some great ads. Strange combo of 60`s-80`s Chevy trucks, tailgate chains, hubcaps, filler caps, Bias ply`s??? Cool interiors, look like Burbs.

Re: Mexican Chevy Truck

some of this truck are dead beaten in mexico,, but you guys would be surprise how many excellent shape trucks are down there, because most peeps dont have/make enough to buy a new truck so they really take care of what day have, my uncle has a chevy "apache" other then the faded original paint, the truck runs smooth and excellent on the original engine.. I might try to take him a "newer" 90's truck and trade him for it. actually I already tried and he said for me to keep my Sh*t lol.

by the way fer, everytime I see a post from you, i remember the barbacoa tacos from the mercado

Re: Mexican Chevy Truck

Nope,,,this particular model didnt have the custom seat. It has the bench, but has the tilt steering.
My friend did update the seat belts thou

Id like to get ahold of a bed like this too, covert the taillights and tail gate.
But too many projects, maybe later, later
But from what i hear there are some decent truck beds across the border in Juarez, but right now with the violence forget about it

Re: Mexican Chevy Truck

I still see one or two of those a year roll through town on I-25. Odd looking beds that is for sure. The body lines didn’t line up or flow very well.

Think those are odd…check out these Brazilian square body’s. The outer skin looks a like an over grown S-10 or a late 80’s Ford F-series. You can find pictures of these on the Brazilian ebay site all the time.

Re: Mexican Chevy Truck

I have seen alot of these in Mexico, looked odd next to my pops 86 GMC Sierra Classic.
I always wondered why they had a big tank in bed. I found out later that converting it over to propane is a popular choice. Pretty cheap fuel down south.
