Any YE8 trucks on the forum?

YE8 is the code for right hand drive (export). So, just curious if anybody has one and if their SPID sheet shows it.

Yeah, that was my thing, too. It looked to me to be that the only difference that I could see was the right side linkage because it makes the wipers move in sync, from side-to-side. What I mean is that the angles of the blades are the same when they are on, unlike the way the left-hand drive wipers work.

The link above isn't what I think is a true YE8. I think it's just a guy converting his to right hand drive. Otherwise, why would he have to build a mount for the steering box?

If you have a copy of the Assembly Manual, you can look in the back part and see what they have on the YE8.

I agree that is quite possible a converted left hand drive truck, at minimum it is a regular frame with a right hand drive cab. That is a crude steering box bracket IMHO.
