Neither Ford or Chevrolet Cheyenne, although it resembles the Chevrolet.

Looks pretty much like this Mexican-made Chevrolet C-15.

Yes, it does, but that's not exactly it.  Try earlier.

Yes!  Can you give me an approximate year and the actual model number?  Locked for oko94.

Dina 1000 ?

Chevrolet C10 circa 1978-1982

Taken together, I'll grant the point.  This is a DINA D-1000 from about 1978-79.  DINA stands for Diesel Nacional S.A., which is a Mexican company that at that time assembled mostly heavy trucks using GM and International body parts and their own domestically-manufactured diesel engines.  The one-ton D-1000 and 3-ton D-3000 were, I believe, their first foray into lighter trucks.  As you point out, soon after, Chevrolet began competing in that market with their own trucks.  But the D-1000 is a compelling mystery, with its GM front and International-copy locally-manufactured bed and tailgate, with International taillights.  Some versions had a DINA or Perkins diesel or an AMC-designed six from the Mexican AMC affiliate.
