I'm in love!  That's a sweet looking truck.  I would move the fog lamps to the bumper, but other than that I wouldn't change a thing.

I made a comment about moving the fog lamps to the bumper, but now I look at the first pic and see that they are recessed into the grill.  Thats not factory, is it?

Good looking truck you have there.  Keep up the good work!  I like the recessed fog lights.

Question, is the steering wheel on the right hand side, or am I seeing things???? ???

Wow, I'd love to see the conversion to right-hand drive. The dash looks shaped correctly too. I have heard those conversions are crazy expensive. I saw a quote to convert a 59 Caddy over to RHD and it was $25k  :o

I saw a pic of an 81 Trans Am that was in Hong Kong, had RHD and it was a factory conversion apparently. Dash looked just like it would from the factory. Talk about low production!

HI ALL THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVELY COMMENTS, IL PUT UP INTERIOR PICS LATER TONIGHT IF I GET A CHANCE

SHE WAS CONVERTED AS SOON AS SHE CAME INTO THE COUNTRY

THE RULES ARE IF YOU OWN IT IN THE STAES FOR TWO YEARS OR MORE YOU DONT NEED TO CONVERT AS ITS OBVIOUS YOU ARENOT A IMPORTER LOOKING TO MAKE SOME QUCIK BUCKS, ALSO NOW IF YOU IMPORT A TRUCK ORDER THAN 20 YEARS YOU DONT NEED TOO BUUT IT MUST ADHERE TO A STRICT HIGH STANDAR, NO RUST, OIL LEAKS, EMISSIONS ECT WHICH COUNTED MINE OUT AS IT WAS LOOKING AS GOOD AS SHE DOES NOW BACK THEN, SO IT WAS TEN GRAND TO CONVERT

BRAND NEW CHEVS COST ABPUT 25 TO 30 GRAND TO CONVERT DUE TO THE INTERIOR AND OPTIONAL EXTRAS...WAAAY OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE

IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PRICE OF TRUCKS OR CARS CHECK OUT

WWW.TRADEME.CO.NZ

CICK ON CARS
THEN SELCT YOUR CAR MAKE AND TART BROWSING, YOUL BE AMAZED WHAT WE PAY FOR A NICE TRUCK OVER HERE

BRAND NEW CONVERTED SILVERADOS ARE IN THE 150GRND MARK

ANYWAY JUST WAT TO SAY THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE  COMMENTS AND THE FOG LIGHTS WERE INSERTED INTO THE GRILL BY ME AND MY OLD MAN, I LIKE THE CLEAN LOOK OF TH BUMPER AND FIGURED ID TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND PUT IN THE GRILL
