Thats a new one Brad - i hadn't noticed that one yet.
Ken those style trucks are really pricey out here even though we had them sold brand new and in RHD format ( i think they were assembled in Canada) although it used to take over twelve months to get one and that was only if you were approved by the NZ motor registry and could prove that you had access to foreign currency ..... funny laws back then .
All those mods are old school custom out here Tim - you used to use a Holden HQ front end so you could get disc brakes and an independent front suspension - converting USA stuff to RHD is pretty common out here and in Aussie with most people just "mirror imaging" the dash components .
I'm not sure why they didn't just throw a mustang front end under as there are plenty of kits for that and leave it LHD as the truck would be perfectly legal like that as long as it was made before 1990 under our import laws.
A couple of things to keep in mind regarding foreign pricing; NZD's on exchange are about 75% of USD's, so that brings it down to about 18K right there. Then when you figure in how expensive stuff is in NZ and AUS compared to here, it's hard to say what is and is not too much. I agree, though, that truck anywhere around these parts would be real lucky to fetch 4 or 5 thousand bucks.
