Straight side molding

I've just watched two videos on YouTube with two different sweptlines that have straight molding down the side of the bed and small rectangular tail lights. Both videos done in Spanish. Has anyone else seen these trucks?

Most of them were made in Argentina and there were a smaller number from Brazil. There are examples on this site.

Thanks soopernaut. I made a comment on the video for the one truck. The poster just replied back saying that his truck was made in Buenos Aires Argentina in 1975. It's a pretty neat looking truck. If you go on YouTube, the posters handle is JM 74.

Some of the commenters seem confused on the year. In Argentina, this body style was built into the late 70s/early 80s and leftovers were sold new a couple years after production into the early 80s.
