Re: "Wrongside" - 1967 Right-hand Drive C10

Fascinating how they converted a LHD truck into RHD from the factory with all those linkages! Would love to see what the original shifter setup looked like, must have been very complex. Thanks for the update.

Yeah I have that manual. Handy to have, when you can find anything in it.

Actually the front suspension system in these trucks is fairly simple. It's pretty much a parallel system. By the looks of it all they had to do was switch around the Pitman Arm & Idler arm with its mounting bracket.

Haven't had the chance to have a proper look under there yet, but as I see it that's all that they've really done. The idler arm mimics the position of the Pitman arm on the other side, in relation to the frame etc - so everything else is still the same.
