The pre-Excursion Slick. Anyone seen one in the United States?

What I understand is all were ordered from the US as partial cab chassis, then coach builders finished the conversion. Most were three door, earlier were often two door, the rear was finished to customer spec, (ie bronco tail gate style or side by side doors).. I've seen an image of one with a huge single swing door...
As far as interior finish, again customer spec... Seat, no seats. Windows down the side or panel, customer spec... Smooth roof, ribbed roof, stepped roof was specific to the coach builder... Argentina seams to have more ribbed roofs and very short beds behind the extension to the cab.

I can't find a definitive answer as to weather or not slicks were actually produced south of the border...
I can't believe they weren't.... And for several years after US production stopped.

Never thought about going back to just my short bed 65 F-100 BUT I'd part with the 65 F-250 8' for a Slick B-Series. That is what trialers are for I guess.
