There are a couple of them, the one I saw looked like it was shortly after color tv came out. For the way that the truck are rocking the one in the back about has to be made of fiberglass. I think it was in the daylight in a desert type enviroment.
Here is one from the late 80's.

The shot of the Ford hauling the small Chevy truck across the bed is something to be seen. Not to mention over a very rough rocky trail. I'm sure it was a 1/2 ton, short bed, 2wd chevy with a V6, probably with the engine and trans. removed but still very good marketing. Looks like the orginal ad appeared in the mid 80's some time.

Looks like a reg cab, 8' bed, and best i can tell the engine/trans has not been removed. Based on how the truck is balanced left to right. Also looks like shiny headers just behind the front tire. Kinda reminds me of the old "WT1500" trucks
Also the Ford is driving on flatened cars

Btw is it the same for anyone elses ford commercials, in the new "Have you driven a ford lately" commercials where they cycle through all the models, they show every new model, and an 05-07 superduty,
