Hello and thanks all of you for your comments. I got this truck a couple of weeks ago and I've been searching and reading all the info in :fr: so in the internet, but I couldn't find the correct info about it. All beacuse the code stamped in the VIN tag is totally different than the article decoding the VIN, also some details explained in the article identifying your 67-72 doesn't mach the year date. Several mechanics here in Mexico had told me that the engine is a 302, but nobody had seem this kind of truck, all think it is imported from US, but cheking the frame and the engine it seems to be made in Mexico, reason that makes me understand why the differences. In those years here in Mexico the rules for the VIN number used to be different and the evolution of the mexican models were always a little behind from US models. I found many Crew cabs with four doors, but only one "Crew" cab with two doors and it was called Extended Cab, so I'd prefer call her Extended Cab. However, the person who sold her to me, hasn't give me the original invoice to check what it says, as soon as I get it I'll let you know. I share the pic I found about the Extended Cab.

That is so awesome! You have a VERY unique truck. I wonder how many were made and or are still around? Maybe it it the only one. I just bought or am in the process of buying a '71 Crew. I am looking forward to owning a classic ford crew cab. Anyways welcome from San Antonio, Tx. :)
