South African spec C10

[Paul C10]

Hi All,

I am from SA and have visited the site occasionally. I have attached a few pics of my SA spec 1975 C10. The rear taillights is different to the US spec. The dashboard is also different, I would like your comments.

Thanks

I'd love to do one of these right hand drive, I've done a few VW's and the looks you get are awesome, even more-so with a full sized square.

That is pretty cool. Not something you see everyday around here!

[VileZambonie]

That's awesome! Take as many pix and provide us with all the detail you can about this truck. We don't see a lot on here as you can tell.

It is so weird to look at the interior with that right hand drive.  I keep wanting to turn my head to get the steering wheel on the other side.  I would love to see more pictures.  What factory was that built in?

Notice the wiper direction.....just the complete opposite of ours....cool!

I love it, 3 on the tree and all.  I have seen several right hand drive from down under when I did the power tour and when I spent time in Japan for work but never a square body.  Very cool!!!  Be neat to see under the hood as well.

What is the motor?

Will take more pictures tonight. This trucks was build in SA by GMSA from 1974 - 1980. (A lot of the parts indicate GM of Canada.)
It has the standard 4.1 L (250) straight six motor, with 3Spd colom shift. Like I said before the most noticeable difference is the rear taillights as well as a different type of tailgate. The 250 & 292 straight six was the only available engine options in SA, only the following models were available here : Mostly C10, also few C20 & C30's as well as a few K10 & K20's.
No Crew Cab & only Custom/Custom Deluxe spec, no Silverado etc.

Will post more info tomorrow.

i think its kind of funny that gm did the dash for a right hand but kept the same dash bezels for a left hand

[Laderhosen]

Very cool. I almost bought a right hand drive Suburban a few months ago, I actually prefer driving left hand drive for these trucks tho, the only times its a pain is if you're pulling out a parking spot from behind a van etc.
 I'd love to see more pics also, the tail lights look like Ford ones!!!

Heres a pic of the RHD dash in that Suburban.
