Is it me or does this truck appear to be a right-hand-drive model?

Nahh... Disregard. The booster and what appears to be the steering column is on the left side...

my67chevytruck · 12-23-2008, 09:41 AM

looks rt-hand to me!

69halfton · 12-23-2008, 09:49 AM

the one picture of the inside looks right hand drive. but your right, the booster and column are still on the left. if you look close i think you can see the steering wheel in the windsheild in the picture from the front.

notice- the picture of the interior was taken with the camera sideways. in flipping the picture around to make it stnad on end, and look right side up, the seller probably inverted the picture as well. (in other words, he flipped it the wrong way during his photo editing)

if the truck was right hand drive, im sure the seller would have made a comment.

Rhd!

drivethechevy · 12-23-2008, 10:29 AM

id say that truck is almost for sure not rhd, i agree with 69halfton the interior pic must have gotten edited wrong
i guess there is always the possiblity that somebody figured out a way to make it rhd while leaving the heater and the brake booster in the original place but that seems like a lot more work getting a setup like that to work right then to just convert it to rhd corectly
and if it was right hand drive it would most likely have been mentioned

Ol'Rover · 12-23-2008, 10:37 AM

its left hand drive, the picture got flipped, I still want it tho lol

Brad · 12-23-2008, 12:26 PM

It's RHD. You can see the steering shaft in the proper place. Someone just flipped the picture.

rambler · 12-23-2008, 12:37 PM

nice looking truck.. it sure looks RHD, maybe they fliped the engine picture?

good way to get some publicity out on your craig's list ad though...

*b-rad* · 12-23-2008, 01:16 PM

Lhd

Longhorn Man · 12-23-2008, 07:22 PM

it is left hand drive.
look at the under hood shots
Also, the wipers swipe in the left hand drive direction. They weren't like that on right hand drive

Brad · 12-24-2008, 12:31 AM

Oops, I meant to say LHD too above!

72armyswbtruck · 12-24-2008, 02:52 AM

Just takes a little picture editing mistake. Definitely a left hand drive.

bowtieboy93 · 12-24-2008, 04:16 AM

maybe hes just screwing with you

Can see him at home right now "hey guys look at this forum! someone believed it was a RHD! Man I love photoshop!" lol

**El Jay** · 12-24-2008, 04:31 AM

bowtieboy93 · 12-24-2008, 02:46 PM
