The North American cabs all were punched for radio knobs and then, if not ordered a radio delete plate clipped in. Wiper, Lights and Choke are in the same positions as any other '67-'68s.
Nice truck, Mate.

If this truck didn't have the metric speedo, I would have instantly thought that being that it had been in Connecticut it was a rural postal vehicle, the metric speedo is a real perplexer. Still think the wipers ended up being replaced with more commonly available US parts given where it was, if the 3rd hole is not for RHD then why is it there at all?

You look at these trucks with the mirrored gauge cluster and glove box and think a LHD to RHD manufactured vehicle would just be a few simple parts swaps, but Russ's truck shows how not true that is.

68orange is correct, 67-68 dash bezels are different than 69-72 with the left side having wipers on top lights on bottom. Right side top position is the choke and manual throttle would be below that when optioned. Another oddity. Also the 67 dash is trimmed in argent silver paint rather than plasti-chrome. The 69+ version layout makes more sense. Last I checked no one is making a 67 bezel.
