Hello everybody!
I am here to show my old truck, it is a F100 1975 (yes, down here this is the 1975 model), three on tree, Y-block 292 and power brakes (upgraded).
I am working with my father on it, we started last year a complete restoration and fordification schematics helped us a lot .
My Grandpa bought it in 1979 and replaced the y-block for a diesel engine. He worked with this truck for 20 years. In 2002 he got sick and he decided to sell it. In 2004 he passed away. Last year i went to the internet to search for this truck and i found it. And now, the truck is back and it is almost finished.
I have some questions about some differences from trucks made here in Brazil and the trucks made in US.
Sorry for the broken english.

I have just ordered a power steering kit and a a/c under dash unit from USA.
I took a look at your project, you are doing such a great job.

That body was produced from 72 until 1992 here in Brazil.
From 1972 until 1976 with y-block 272/292 and that grille,
after 1976 the v8 engine was replaced for a 4 cylinder (ethanol or gasoline)
And in 1981 Ford introduced the diesel engine that was produced until 1992
This is an advetisement from 1981:

Re: Hello from Brazil
First of all, that's a really nice looking truck.
Second, it's crazy to consider getting a bumpside truck new in 1992. It's like its an alternate universe.
Third, I can't imagine driving my truck with a four cylinder engine!
Fourth, I can't decide if it's easier or harder for you to get parts. Easier because these trucks are essentially "newer" harder because you're farther from US parts distributors.
Anyway, welcome!
Cheers,
Duane
