This one was really though! After my hints the first answer came in. What is this pickup. 

The IAME Rastrojero Diesel was build in Argentina from 1968 - 1979. IAME  (Industrias Aeronáuticas y Mecánicas del Estado, Spanish for State Aeronautical and Mechanical Industries) was a state entity and autarchic conglomerate of factories of Argentina. It was powered by either by a 1.8l Borgward or 2.0l Peugeot diesel engine. The transmission came from Borgward. It seems that after the closing of Borgward in Germany 1961 some of the trnasmissions and engines made it to South America.
