Re: New member from Australia says Gday
Welcome to the board. That is a great looking truck. And yes, we Americans make some nice trucks and we used to make some nice cars too. I hope we will again some day.

Re: New member from Australia says Gday
Welcome from Washington state. Don't worry about posting in the wrong forum. I will be happy to move this over to the pickup forum.
Very nice looking pickup I like the color combo.

Re: New member from Australia says Gday
Nice truck. That A/C should make it nice for summer cursing. I'm curious as to why the A/C is on the drivers side though and the alternator is on the passenger side. Most of the time they are oppisite of this. The wiring comes out of the cab from the drivers side and A/C hoses go through on passenger side.
Nice though just the same!

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. Last edited by Andy4639; 01-20-2009 at 09:05 AM. |

Re: New member from Australia says Gday
I hate to mention it, but will you have to change the steering to the other side? Or have the laws changed. I spent a year and a half there, a year of the time in Busselton, WA. working at the Busselton Beach Resort, I am sure you are familiar. It was strange to see Corvettes with right side steering.
