60 mph in a 1951 chevy 1 ton, at night, with a couple of beer in ya? darn, you aussies are crazier than i thought. must have been going down hill the whole way home to get that old bolt up to that speed?!?
do it! restore that thing!
even if it takes you the rest of your life. way too much history and definitely not beyond salvaging.
fumblin, the "crotch cooler" was located on the left side in 50, but taking into consideration what brian mentioned about us/australian assemblies, it's very possible that they only changed what they needed to in order to achieve the right hand drive.
i am curious to know how they managed to get the battery box and the brake master cylinder on the same side??? is there really enough room over there or did they link it to a remote location?
