Yes i will put more pictures up here in a day or two i belive i got all of them from begining to now of how me and my dad built her so if u all would like to see all i shall show also the 350 is a tight fit espicially with the headers on their just barely enough room to change spark plugs on the thing btw do you all have these little trucks where u all are at if u do i would like to talk to u i need some parts bad

They are called a holden rodeo here in Australia
When you post more pictures could you keep them under 200kb each some people have very slow Internet and it makes the thread too slow to load

[geeves]

We can still get most parts for those but freight to USA could cost a bit. Most of ours are 4wd and we dont have many of the utes but the MU/Amigo is based on a shortened ute

[v8pupjr]

i think most of the 4x4 stuff will enter change for the most part but the main things i'm looking for is all the stuff to make my truck right hand drive instead of left hand drive for either the chevy luv's (1975 to 1980) or my isuzu but i would need basically everything for the isuzu the entire dash, (power) stearing gear box, idler arm and some other items to complete the conversion but for the luv i just need the manual gear box for the right hand drive if some one has the right hand drive set-up and would like the left hand set-up i can do some trading on parts on either/or truck if u have any questions or advice let me know its well apreciated here

thanks Rodney

Id love to know how you got that in there

[geeves]

I think the steering box and idler are the same Its just the locartion of the pitman arm that has to be adjusted so it should only be the dash.
Why do you want right hand drive? Ive driven a left hand drive car over here and trying to see round other cars to overtake is a right pain. Also parking buildings and toll bridgees are set up for most drivers. You would have to get out of the truck and walk to the other side to swipe your card or pay the attendant.

[v8pupjr]

for the most part i can just switch the box to the other side but for the clearce i need for the v8 in it i need the right hand box bcuz it bolts on differant just like the left hand but oppisite it keeps the stearing column closer to the side of the truck so i don't hit anything and as for the tolls and stuff like u were talking about geeves i'll manage i want to make my truck unique and their isn't many right hand drive vehicles here in the USA just somethin i would like to do and to answer ur slightlydodgy it was kinda tuff to make enough room to make everything clear properaly took about 3 months but thats school and work and just basicly doing it when me and dad had time to work on it but this afternoon i will put the pic up of how dad and i built her so let me knonw what u all think

[v8pupjr]

hey their i wanted to apoligize for not getting the pictures up and on here my computer messed up and i had to get it fixed and had everything to off it and put on a memory stick and the military is keeping me busy here so i will get them up here as soon as i can

[KrankY]

350cui would be my choice of engine that v is so tight it fits into just about anything

[v8pupjr]

Ok i finally got some time to do what i need to so heres the pic i promised i seen that some one (my dad) put the other site that we use to try to get some parts and theres a bunch of good people thats on there that knows a lot about these little truck and just so u all know the blue one is my dads truck he gave it to me when i graduated high school and i found a nicer isuzu pup and i took the moter and trans out of the blue one and put in the red one and gave the blue one back to my dad (its a bit more complicated then that but yeah) well here's all of my pics this is a truck that me and my dad built from the ground up i'm not taking full credit for building the truck cuz my dad taught me how to do it with this truck cuz i wanted to learn how to do it some of the thing he thought of to build and use i would have never thought of my first time but this is the first for me and hopefully i can build one on my own one day soon
thanks Rodney
