Ben,
Nice truck and welcome. I was married to an Australian woman for a brief period of time. She and her friends were fun gals but could say some brutal things. Wondered if that was typical.

nice to meet you
Very cool video. 7 seconds........Spooky fast. One car blew off its hood and fender......Ha!

I was an awful driver in that car. Swing around corners on two wheels, 145 MPH @ night. Probably saved my life by rolling it on a dirt road & 35 MPH.

Re: Hello from Australia, new owner C10 1970
I always thought that when a vehicle was imported to australia it had to be modified for steering on the right side? is thata myth or are there exceptions?

Very nice truck.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
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.

Very nice truck.
Thanks, any car over 30 years old can stay left hand drive. Younger than that they must be converted.

I get all my parts from the US. These trucks weren't released here, so very few parts specific to them are available locally.

What exactly are you after?
