Re: Ebay find....Thailand
Yeah the shipping would kill you. Plus, it's right-hand drive!!! That would look weird on a cruise night. Putting that Nissan engine in is sacrilege in my opinion.

Re: Ebay find....Thailand
I was thinking it was probably ex-military leftover from the war 'till I saw the right side drive. I guess them Thai '68's came with the later grill and front clip.
The Nissan engine is one thing, but it's a diesel, so that's not quite so bad.

Re: Ebay find....Thailand
International sales or trucks built in factorys overseas had a right hand drive option RPO code YE8.

Re: Ebay find....Thailand
That Nissan diesel is one good engine. Messed with them when I lived in Japan. It is definitely an interesting mix. I think it would be cool to have the right-hand drive and the 6 banger diesel. The yellow has got to go though.

Re: Ebay find....Thailand
Next time I go back,I'll check it out. Chang Mai is really beautiful. You see all kinds of American vehicles from the sixties and seventies over there. My brother-in-law has a GMC Canyon with an Isuzu diesel in it and right hand drive. Vietnam also has some great 60's and early seventies trucks running around.

Thailand stepside on e-bay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...5fTrucks#v4-35
Has it listed as a 68, but it looks like a 69/70 to me. I wonder if the tail lights are original or added, they look like military units... a couple things make me wonder if it was a normal left hand drive truck then converted... notice, it has the left hand drive wipers... and the underhood shot with the steering column looks kinda funny too... still a neat thing to see. |

Re: Thailand stepside on e-bay
Very interesting to see these trucks abroad, and how different cultures change them up.

Re: Thailand stepside on e-bay
sinister.... thanks...had no idea
Carl, the funny part was the tokyo drift mustang, they had to remove the twin turbo and go to a single turbo due to lack of space, and they couldn't get it to drift at all. All the non CG shots of the mustang drifting was done with a few 351 cars |

Re: Thailand stepside on e-bay
Almost fell on my A$$ laughing at the "English" description! I knew that these trucks had a lot of configurations but I never thought of right hand drive. Anyone want to pay shipping from Thailand to the U.S.?

Re: Thailand stepside on e-bay
It would make a good mail truck with the right hand drive.

Re: Ebay find....Thailand
Not known why sell truck so rare to be Thailand.I keep such rare truck if it mine.If live Thailand I want drive that truck,feel like home.Diesel motor make more practical to drive for Thailand.
I like it.I have a hunch shipping may just kill that deal.An Aussie or Kiwi member should hop on that one.
