Any right hand drive trucks?????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know at one point someone was building one here on the board, but then faded out of sight. I know they were offered or at least planned from info in the build manual, but has anyone got one or seen one. I think this might be a cool project especially with the KPH speedo and some odd options.... Lets see what you have.

I wouldn't think the factory ones would have put the shift lever on the right hand side of the column. Unless he got the column from another truck...

Straight outa my factory! I'll put more pics up as we progress..... just need to get the summer rush behind me, then it's me time. (I hope!)

Now I have always heard of the rumored RHD 67-72 but has one ever been spotted. People talk about how the cowl was set up for it but I don't belive this was really the case with the third wipper location as it is not spaced right for the set up. Can any one conferm if they were in fact ever built by Chevy or GMC in their factory not one of ours?

I remember reading on here that someone had found a 'Postal" Blazer that was RHD. Pictures in the back of the Assembly Manual show the RHD wiper linkages etc. Mine came down here in '72 LHD. I have no idea if any were ever exported as RHD.
