Look around the windshield and the tops of the doors. They are the same as the 73-87 trucks. My guess is that it's based on the K5 blazer platform. The red four door is suburban based.

When imports were banned from brazilian market between '76 and '90 there were a lot of pickups converted into those things, as there was a very limited offer of luxury vehicles.

This is the Chevrolet Veraneio. Was widely used by police departments, then it's still known popularly as "camburão" (something like "paddywagon"). Currently the Blazer (still made in Brazil, but now only with a 4cyl flexfuel engine, RWD, and only with manual transmission) is used by police.

Probably this one was factory-fitted with the 250cu.in. straight-6 gasser and then retrofitted with a Nissan diesel, possibly a TD27 out of a D21 Hardbody.
