I think they also sold those in South America. I saw photos the other day of a bumpside version made in 1979 in Brazil.

In the same thought of that dodge ram with a caravan rear end grafted onto it.

It's a 3 door Ford Suburban.  Weird and cool.

There was a pretty killer build for SEMA a year or two ago done by River City Rods of Iowa.  

More recent pics they changed the wheel color a bit more subtle.

Love em. Native to Mexico and South America. For a long time I was checking craigslist int he border states and northern Mexico for one. They come up in the US once in a while but tend to go fast and bring good money. I'd love to have one with a 4x4 drivetrain and big block.

Is this what you mean by bump side?

Sighted in Buenos Aires.. I also thought the 6 bolt hubs were interesting.

That red and white one looks like fiberglass.

I was actually referring to the earlier version. Bumpsides have the center seam poking out and in the US they reversed that in 1973 to be inset so they are referred to as dentsides. But in South America they stayed with the bumpside design through the 1970's.

Kinda reminds me of the John Lithgow's wood paneled Grand Wagoneer from Harry and the Henderson's.

I love these things. There's all manner of weird F-series variants in Brazil also, and I really want one or two or ten.
