Nice rig. Looks like your interior is backwards though.

[bdydrppedc10]

[bdydrppedc10]

[bdydrppedc10]

[LandonL]

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?

[bdydrppedc10]

[bdydrppedc10]

[bdydrppedc10]

also alot more stuff like art lower arms are in the mix an edelbrock endura shine manifold and polished holley carb and a new cab floor

[Jacfourteen]

Nice project! I have never seen anyone do the fender mod before, great idea.

[bdydrppedc10]

thanks alot btw the bed is sitting to high on the right side for some reason it actually is an inch to high in pic

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.

i build em one and have it shipped over

[bdydrppedc10]

if still following c10forum.com would be the site to follow this truck it takes to much to update both forums

[DZL1]

Awesome! cant wait to see it done. Keep up the good work.

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

[Longhorn Man]

wow... how did I mis this one?
Awesome!

[bdydrppedc10]

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!!!!

[bdydrppedc10]

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

[N2TRUX]

bdydrppedc10 we appreciate your bringing the build over here. Lets leave the drama to the other site and get on with your pics...

[Dano69c10]

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.

[bdydrppedc10]
