Welcome from South Dakota. Looks like some solid trucks, how much trouble is it finding parts there?

Hi. We have local rhd c10/20/30's but parts I don't find I import from the US. Had FedEx deliver some groceries yesterday. Cross over steering system for the 57 build. And rear LS oil pan. The LS1 motors we have available here have front oil pans. Come out of the rhd Chevy lumina SS.
Both my Chevy's are LHD. I also have a 1995 Tahoe LT 4door as a everyday driver.

Hi there. Never seen simex tyres. Maybe on special order. I'll ask a buddy of mine who does alot of wheeling.

Our trucks were pretty much just the base models. Very limited in options. Most just had manual steering. No Aircon. And fitted with inline 6 motors. Also had different taillights. I'll find a pic. No side trim

Dealerships imported your LHD vehicles on special orders.
I know Botswana and Namibia had the LHD military trucks. I have a buddy that bought 20 of these on auction in Botswana. Some have very low mileage. But due to our LHD policy here we cant register (had to be on the system prior 2000). So they are only good for parts.

Shot thanx. Love your avatar.
We fought long and hard to keep Rhodes falling to the communist terrorist. But the media will always mislead the world to the real truth.
Unfortunately South Africa is going the same route as Rhodesia.
