Brazil used to have a very different car market, with artesanal double-cab conversions which used to be more family-oriented holding some popularity for a while due to factors as diverse as road conditions and different levels of import restrictions rendering them a viable alternative to a full-size sedan. Also, the Brazilian preference for 2-door bodystyles dictated that most conversions had only a 2-door cabin, yet there were some with a curb-side rear door too.
That's the case of this '93 Bricknose Ford F-1000, remembering the production run of Ford trucks in Brazil often mismatched the evolution of their international counterparts so the Bricknose ran from the '93 to '96 model-years for instance, not to mention a different and more regionalized engine selection with a 4-cyl MWM Diesel which was available in either naturally-aspirated or turbocharged versions. The door handle of the rear curbside door sitting lower than the stock one from the front door was at such position to allow clearance from the rear window which extends further down, just like it used to be common on similar conversions which retained the 2-door layout.
