:eek: Wow darn you were really close to my neck of the woods, as they would call it. I go off roading with friends around out in Santa Teresa. If I walk out of my house and down to my street I have a clear view of Santa Teresa. You proabaly went I-10 West to Artcraft Road and followed it that way past some cotton feilds and alot of desert. If you went that way you drove past my house I actually can throw a rock onto I-10. Well if you have to come this way again sometime soon I be sure to be listening. Any questions about the town just ask away.

That is exactly the way we took to the border. Had no idea I was that close.
Anyway, here are a couple of 'bump-pics' I snapped while in Mexico.
The picture was taken while driving by. Can't really tell but the one on the far side was a DRW without a box.
Image
Here is another one. Looks like a 67. Most of the trucks where well used (beat up) work trucks.
Image
And here are 2 more parked on the street that I snapped while driving by.

Here are a couple more trucks I saw in Mexico. First a multi-color short box with a smooth tailgate and rollpan.
Image
And tow more I snapped while driving down the highway. Both have seen better days by the looks of things.

I must have seen at least 40 bumps and only 2 of the other brand of the 67-72 year period. What does that tell you?

Saw this lot there with 4 dents (79s) and 2 bumps for sale. This was my favorite.
Image
Same mirrors I have on mine. Check out the price tag, and that is USD. I guess it's on sale. Don't really like the wheels though.
Image
Young guy I talked to said it was a 67 but according to the doorhandles and heater controls it's not. Am I correct? Nice seat though.
Image
Nice headliner, matches with the seat.
Image
Dusty FE, not sure what size. Notice the newer model Master Cylinder.

Looks like you are correct, other give aways: the grille, hood emblems, later style widow visor clips without integrated rear view mirror, and heater controls.
