I was just looking at the rate exchange again...
This is how it breaks down...

1 Brazil real = $0.55145 U.S. dollars
100 reais = $55.145 US dollars
1000 reais = $551.45 US dollars
10,000 reais = $5514.50 US dollars

Hey ZOEGA...

No worries...
just a note... I figured that I got the '71 F-250 CS for right at 1000 reais with the taxes and title transfer..
It was in pretty rough shape.. the engine ran good, but leaked oil really bad... I think it had a bad rear main seal.
I'd have to put a quart of oil in just to start it...
The tranny (c-6 auto) also leaked tranny fluid and left a puddle every where I went... I had to buy ATF by the gallon.
It's no wonder that when I drilled the lock outta the underbed tool box and got it open, the only thing there was ATF and some wooden blocks.
I'm pretty sure that was from the front seal.
It would have taken alot to really get it road ready, even thought it did run good, it was really only good for parts.
I got a lot of good parts from it... well worth the price I paid for it.
Parts that came off of the '71 that are going on my '68

Power steering
Power disc brakes
Oil cooler
Front and rear stabilizers
Windshield
Rear window slider
Driver's side door (the main reason I bought the truck)
(The driver's door came with a spot-light)

Other parts
Running 390/HP with Edlebrock intake and Carter AFB carb
C-6 tranny (needs front seal and pan gasket)
Replacement radiator (I'm probably gonna use it)
I think it is a 4 core whereas the one in the '68 now is a 3 core.
All the factory nuts and bolts I need for repairs.
Spare wiring harness
Passenger side door (I might put it on the '68 as well, it looks to be in a little better condition than the one on it now.

Then of course, there's the Bump trailer that I'm making outta the bed and frame...
I could probably sell it for what I paid for the whole truck...
But have no plans to do that...
I wanna paint it to match the planned paint job for the '68 CS.
I'll probably practice the Rustoleum w/a roller technique on the trailer before trying it on the truck.

Eventually, The '68 CS, the bus and the trailer are all going to be painted the same.
Rustleum Harbor Blue with a white top...
Then, I wanna do a red spash job on the front so it fades back like flames...

I think that should look pretty cool...
