Okay I found the build thread for the other one, it is this one! duh.
That truck is super cool by the way!

Lippyp · 06-01-2012, 01:10 PM

Yep we've always used mph although most cars for a long time also have a KPH scale on the speedo as well in case you nip across the channel. I've had british cars from the 1960's that had both but never one that had just KPH. I'm guessing that your jag and TR3 may have been exported to europe at some time in their life and ended up back in the UK, not uncommon.

..another cranky caller today

(didnt even have a chance to say...sorry dude.. you wont be my first call)

well..gotta say ...starting to get pretty entertaining around here lately

(thanks for the links.. (i had no idea there was that many RHD countries out there)

**FirstOwner69** · 06-01-2012, 03:34 PM

For what it's worth, I recall seeing several pages showing the RHD in the Assembly Manual.

Lippyp · 06-01-2012, 04:05 PM

From my experience of travelling in a a fair few of those countries driving on a certain side of the road is a fairly idealistic concept, most people seem to drive on whichever side of the road has the least huge holes or the shallowest mud depending on the time of year.

You're absolutely right. Several pages through the Assembly Manual showing conversion work. But here's the weird thing then. As has been stated cowl is punched for LHD and RHD. Assembly Manual shows all the required linkages etc, but this truck gets LHD wipers. Weird huh.
Very cool to see!

**68ls1** · 06-09-2012, 03:42 AM

Hi Leadfoot Vanner, any chance you could post some pics of steering box and mounting?

Does it use same centrelink as LHD models?

thanks

leadfoot-vanner · 06-09-2012, 08:05 AM

i have it up on the lift this morning and will take some steering pics
here is the best one i have in photobucket for now

**68ls1** · 06-09-2012, 08:19 AM

Thanks, look forward to other pics. As an Aussie with RHD interested to see how factory did it.

Any chance of steering box part no.

cheers

leadfoot-vanner · 06-09-2012, 02:49 PM

adding more pics to photobucket now, sorry - i looked for it and couldnt find a part number on the steering box, only "check and lube" stamped into the top of it
part number may be on the mounting face of the box

71swb4x4 · 06-09-2012, 07:10 PM

leadfoot-vanner, the truck is very cool being a factory RHD. IMO you should either name a price that you feel is a tad high, and then lower it as time goes if no one bites, or put it on an auction. I am afraid you are turning away legitmate buyers with your attempts of having them name the price.

leadfoot-vanner · 06-09-2012, 07:24 PM

i have been trying to find a reference for some sort of value
and been unable to find any other "legit" factory made rhd chevy truck from anytime in the 1960's for sale, sold or valued
so what i base my price on is.. what a "normal lhd" c-10 in comparable condition has sold for and are asking for...
then the oddity of the RHD in any american vehicle in the usa..
(there are the jeeps, lots of em.. and i have seen the chevy II wagon postal car that was asking 80k and sold for an undisclosed amount)
i know if i ebay this truck, there could be some international interest because of the cost
to "convert" for those who desire RHD
the price i have into it, and 4+ weeks of around 400 or so hours i have spent on it
materials,parts, ect..
and what classic vehciles average in comparable condition
i am far from greedy.. but also have this feeling no matter what price i sell this truck for..
someone may double.. or even triple their money if they can afford to "grade A restore" or trim it out further than i have been able and be able to afford to wait for the right buyer ect..
this truck at a rumblers show.. or east coast hot rod nationals (next weekend in west springfield mass)
could be a couple examples of a venue that could find a couple guys who would fight over it
...so... all this under consideration.. and to attempt to be fair in it's current condition and rarity
the magic number is.... 12,000 or best CASH offer
too low? too high? as time goes on.. these shows like the ones above are scheduled not far away from here.. and price may change higher not much lower ,the longer i have it and do more to it)

so..

GMC Canuck · 06-09-2012, 08:33 PM

I would love to have a KPH speedo. I never knew there was such thing. I'm not sure what year Canada switched to kilometers but all the trucks I have seen have been mph. I'm quite used to doing the math even with my speedo being about 5 mph out at 60. It would be something cool and different.

Sicklajoie · 06-21-2012, 08:53 PM

Here's some pics I took from the most recent Mark's Classic Cruise in East Granby, CT

Taken by yours truly

Thanks Tim. Firstly I have great news, I have secured the truck and completed final payment today. yipeeeee

The owners wife also passed on recently and the bank needed to wrap things up so the truck will be with me very soon....

Furthermore what I have learned on this truck of mine is that they were imported into South Africa through GMSA (General Motors South Africa) and were original LHD, I will take pics of the engine bay to show you guys they used links for the gears that run from the RHS to the LHS.

There are plenty of RHD GM trucks in SA and recently Leon has also joined the forum and he has a 69 C10 RHD also.....

If you guys need further information on the RHD trucks hit me up and I will try and get as much info as I can.....

leadfoot-vanner · 10-04-2012, 08:08 PM

this truck is in transport to Australia..
thanks!

That's a reversed photo. You're actually looking at her left boob and l-l-l-leg. Belly button is dead center,either way.

Congrats Russ. Have you received the truck, how long did it take to ship from USA to AU ?

When will you be starting a rides thread ?

Any RHD info you need let me know.
