Beautiful looking truck....good luck on the restoration.

One question, the crank guide on the front bumper looks like a re-bent Chev one (Ford are cast with a rib facing the rear). Is that maybe original or something Argentina did?

Congratulations Mariano; very nice and complete looking FGT!

I noticed the Argentine conversion on the rear panel, where they enlarged the lids/panels in the pictures you posted of the other FAT's in the scrapyard, but I hadn't noticed the side pins are also enlarged. Quite neatly done!
