Nice rig. Looks like your interior is backwards though.

Re: 1968 c20 right hand drive build thread
I had the right hand drive idea running in my head, I'm happy to see someone actually do it. Looks great! Have you driven it any?

Re: 1968 c20 right hand drive build thread
That's pretty amazing. We have several members here from the UK, and I don't recall seeing even any of them attempting to do a RHD conversion. I'll bet some of them might be interested in learning more about yours though.

Re: 1968 c20 right hand drive build thread
Nice job on the truck, Don't mean to be critical but I noticed the steering D shaft is welded, Just making you aware that the reason it telescopes is so on an impact it colapses rather than the steering shaft impaling the driver
Would hate to see someone get hurt |

Re: 1968 c20 right hand drive build thread
since c10forum has a jerk off for a moderater I convert to this site for a build thread easy for them to delete a 3 year build thread. Why because I sold a pair of lower control arms for 50shipped right around the time.I was going through a bad family deal lost almost everything. So people can judge me for 50 bucks but I pm the guy a few days ago and got his address for payment and he will receive. Back to another build thread. BTW c10forum is so mature that the moderator says banned because i am a douce bag. He dont even know me ****ing jerkoff!!!!

Re: 1968 c20 right hand drive build thread
There will be no more pictures of this truck every one can go screw off if they wanna see it then come to a north east car show. Since a few years of my life is now lost on there dont have half the pictures and lots of info lost because no reason at all. I'm getting jacked on someones for sale thread, I come in and say "hey everyone quit posting on this thread for bull **** and start posting if your serious" that all i say

Re: 1968 c20 right hand drive build thread
I think you'll find this site's attitude different than that other site.
I would just like to see any new pics of your truck. I'd also like to see some pics of the front suspension, if you have a chance to get some new pics.
