Hi guys, here is my new projet that I picked up last week, The plan is to trick this old Girl up and use it as a daily driver. So Im going to convert it to Right Hand Drive with the help of a buddy of mine who has done them before in the past.
In Ausraila we drive on the Left so our Cars and Trucks are RH Drive, altho the Law dose alow us to keep Classic Cars and Trucks older than 1989 LH Drive if we like, but thats a pain driving the thing every day like that, so it's get swaped over.

In the 70's C20 and C30's where Build here RH Drive by GM ,but we didn't get the C10's. There are lots of C10's here but they have all been Imports. and lots of Parts if you know were to look.

This one came out of Sacramento. Im very happy with it, very clean, it's got 125,000 Miles Run's great only a small amount of Rust and No Bondo.
The Forum has been great so far, I have been able to find out heeps of info that I needed to know about these Trucks and how to do Mods to them .
Along the way I will post up Photo's and try to keep you all up to date and Im open to feed back ,good or bad, Im up for it.

Over the last week Iv'e Odering Parts to get me going. Got a Roll pan from Truck & Car and 4/6 Drop Kit off Preformance Supension. Also Ordered 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10 Ridler Wheels with Tyres from JD Wheels.

Iv'e also picked up a Small A/C Kit that is going to make the Conversion much easier.

The other thing that I have to do for the Conversion is fit Jeep Wrangler Tailights, Chev Light just dont cut it by the Laws we have here.

More comming soon
