my rhd ls1 build
Just got my 68 GMC swb... day after I got it the clutch went out... was saving this swap for later when I was ready and more informed, but no time better then the present .. pulled out the straight 6 with the 4speed floor shift.. if anybody wants it let me know... picked up my new ls and stripped it down ..

Re: my rhd ls1 build
Thanks.. honestly I found it on Craigslist ... I traded my 07 Honda cbr600rr for it.. its not original ..it was converted by the kid before me.. that was what got me hooked.. always wanted a Rhd.. my dad is a mail man.. was thinking of doing an old school mail truck them paint. .. it was very intrusting driving it home, shifting with my left hand

Re: my rhd ls1 build
I just came across this build. Pretty cool to see a RHD truck It would probably feel funny to be behind you on the road while driving

Believe it or not boog, you won't believe how fast you adapt and how much more natural it feels to steer with the right and shift with the left (well if your right handed anyways). When I moved back from living in Japan almost 10 years, it felt more awkward switchng back to the USA way.
