Belive it or not, that truck is a real truck, the Ford Courriers ( sorta like ranger but older ), had the same frame and the exzact same engine and everything. The dashpad is the same cause the aftermarket peice which I belive is no longer in production said that it fit the mazda and the Ford. My dad had a 1978 Courrier and, the reverse stripped out a little so it would lung in reverse as it jumped teeth, the shift linkage was so screwed up that he pulled all of the linkage and stuck a crowbar in the hole and shifted it that way ( you had to pull the bar out after every shift ).
