Right hand drive pictures

[GrimsterGMC]

Hi, in New Zealand we drive on the left so our vehicles are RHD so I thought I would post some pictures for any of you that are curious to see what our trucks look like with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

So does the steering gear move? or is there a weird system of ujoints and stuff.

That's interesting. I have always wondered, on the suburban the middle seat, it is also inverted, as the front seat? The front is 70/30, the middle is 80/20.
Are the portions reversed so that the small portion is on the left instead of the NA right side?

Yeah, underhood shots would be great. Strange seeing the gear shift so close to the door like that.

Yeah, I gotta see how the 88-94 linkage worked. The 95+ are cable shift, so it's just looped up and over, I'd imagine.
Stereo has to be strange too... Right hand turns it on, changes channels, left hand puts in cassettes or adjusts the equalizer.

Looks like the passenger has to put it 4WD, haha.

Just to be clear, I don't own these trucks, mine is still LHD. I got the pictures from the local cars for sale website. I went back and found a couple of engine bay pics for you.

You will notice that even the windscreen wipers have to be reversed so there is a huge amount of work to convert one over.

The steering box gets moved over to the other side.

They are hard enough to reach with the seatbelt on in the normal position so would be a real stretch like this.

Speaking of the radio/stereo, I noticed that the early style dashboard cluster and HVAC/stereo isn't flipped; it's the LHD part, just on the opposite side. The '95-up is actually flipped.
And that '95, with a RHD dashboard/conversion setup, has GOT TO BE a rare bird indeed!
