RHD conversion 1965 C10
Hi,
I am new to this forum and have just purchased a 1965 C10 that I will be importing into Australia and i will be converting it to RHD so it can be a daily driver. I was wondering if there are RHD firewalls or dashboards available that would help with the conversion? Any help would be great. Regards BM |

Re: RHD conversion 1965 C10
Welcome from Texas!
I don't think there is a "kit", but I'm sure you can use some donor parts to convert. Good luck!!

Re: RHD conversion 1965 C10
I don't think they made RHD 1965 C10s from the factory so tracking a donor might be difficult unless I use another LHD and modify. Do you know if they make a power steering unit for RHD as the current LHD won't work?
Regards Bret |

Re: RHD conversion 1965 C10
Get a PS Gear for a car as they mount on the inside of the frame ( on RHD truck it would mount on the out side right) A gear like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cardone-27-6...5XOzyT&vxp=mtr

Re: RHD conversion 1965 C10
Hi Brett, why do you need to convert it? Here in Vic my 64 left hook is a daily with full reg. In most states a vehicle doesn't need to be converted if its 30 years older or older.

Re: RHD conversion 1965 C10
Are you by chance getting a RHD dropmember made by porterbuilt?

Someone posted a pic on FB of a RHD Kneeknocker that was in South Africa.
