Interesting info, how does the build sheet state that a top and doors were ordered? Just asking out of curiosity because it might be the only existing sheet out there still and not likely to ever see another one lol.
I have a few inches of paperwork, photos, etc. that came with the truck. Copies of the original import paperwork when it was shipped over in 1966, etc. It is all in Spanish which I don't read so I had someone read parts to me a few years ago.
It was originally yellow and it also had the full rear barn doors like Joe Cardi's that he brought over at the same time. Mine were cut down to half doors at a previous resto over there.
I cannot tell you where the rear door mods were done. Here, there, who knows...
One thing that I thought was cool was that the truck was we believe coming down the ford production line as a U13 with a 8 cylinder engine. At some point it was pulled for export and a low compression straight 6 was installed instead. They overstruck the 8 cylinder engine code with the straight 6 low compression number on the VIN.
We ran this by Marti and while now one can prove anything they concurred that is what it looked like.
I like the split tailgate and will keep it if we can.
