Those drivers on "Outback Truckers" can't all be leftys! Dunno about a truck, but I rented a Renault 1.5 td 5 spd in Ireland and it took some getting used to. I think it would have been easier if the shift pattern was reversed but of course it wasn't. Took a couple of days before I was really comfortable with it (that and driving on the other side). Would love to try it in a truck. BTW, Swishy, that FR is absolutely spectacular. Don't know that I've seen anything quite as nice. Thank for posting it.

This is Why Most aussie F models have the "FR" model designation.. What chassis was the earlier F models put on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayseed Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 3 hours ago, Jamaican Bulldog said: What chassis was the earlier F models put on? They used the American F model Chassis. That's why the Steering Box was Mounted on the LHS, & they used the Push bike chain & sprockets to get the Steering Wheel on the RHS.. I've got a Book on the History of Mack trucks Australia, with some good pictures. I'll dig It out & scan them for you..(but Not today) 1 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
