It is a F-600, 1974+. |

Hood side emblem of a 1967-72 medium-duty F-Serie, maybe with a slightly offset model years range due to the Brazilian manufacturing. Medium-duty means any model from F-500 to F-750, so it's certainly better to keep it as generic F-Series. It doesn't have the US 1968+ side markers, but were they used in Brazil? |

Brazil doesn't uses sidemarker ruling there. They get what they have. Whatever bob dieck has in his point of view has his model year range ![]() |

I would not identify South American vehicles using the conventions of original US/EU models, it has lead to mistakes on IMCDB in the past. Quite often, older designs went on to have long production runs there. -- Last edit: 2015-08-11 02:10:13 |

I'm not sure of what you mean with this, but I'm sure that bob dieck confuses with another truck line: here is the 1972 Ford Brazil F-Series brochure, with this cab, and with F-500 to F-750 models mentioned. Here the 1973 one. That's why I talked about a possible "slightly offset" model year range ![]() After some quick researches, the Brazilian F-Series was clearly different in 1969, and as said above, I found at least a 1972 brochure with this cab and with the hood end logo. It seems to have had a name change in 1975 or 1976 (3-digit to 4-digit names. The linked brochure has a handwritten 1975 on the las page, but it could be August to December...), but the hood side logo disappeared in 1981 or 1982 only (here a 1980 brochure, here a 1982 one). And the cab was still used in 1990. Curious people will have to search by themselves for the rest of the production years, if any ![]() For the record, all these brochures are from a serious seller that I usually trust for the model years that are given. So a 1972+ model? -- Last edit: 2015-08-11 03:37:49 |
