Australian ute in the USA GMH in AUS have the pontiac left hand drive floor pan which they put our statesman,long wheel base luxury sedan. GMH used it for the US police as it has more rear seat room for protection barrier and large boot for all police stuff and rear wheel drive. The ute would be...

They do the same mods to them as you do, twin turbos or super charger but they are a light vehicle compared to US pick ups. The GM version the commodore R8 maloo ute uses the same floor pan as your pontiac gto with 6.2ltr ls2. We have a thing for high performance utes in Australia and the car...

Ford have always made right hand drive pickups, i know of factory right hand drive 56 pickups.From what i can gather right hand drives were made in Canada, my cab was made in Canada and built in Sydney. Earlier ones were built in Australia and South Africa. On mine you can see on the fire wall...

new xr8

If you want to see a cool utes look up HSV R8 Maloo ute and FPV super pursuit ute.

My engine uses a GT supercar alloy block and heads but was built in Australia for GT production car racing.The USA GT supercar is the same as the Aus boss engine with out the blower, our production car 5.4 quad cams have a cast iron block.We never got the 4.6 in any factory ford here only 5.4...

driverGoing to be a driver, replacing the chassis at the moment for a purpose built chassis with c6 front suspension and after thats done will be dropping the comp on the engine from current 11.5 to 1 to 9.8 to 1 for a kenny bell 2.8 or 3.6 blower. After 700 to 800 hp at the fly wheel.Will...

KW to HP It states the power out put of the engine in kilowatts instead of hourse power. It's an Aus boss engine, the same as Ford US used in thier GT but we use it in our sedans and utes. its 290 which is 400hp however this engine is about 550hp.

some pictures

I had thought of that , ever heard of it beeing done.

Yep 67 to 72 f100s are very rare here, 73 onwards have large numbers of parts. Most parts i want need to import from US , mainly air freight, which is a hassle bit when finished will be rare as.As a result your skill level improves as you need to learn to repair everything. if you look in my...

Give me a hoy,i have an aluminum 5.4 quad engine 11.5 to 1 comp scat internals motec m800 ecu. Engine was out of gt production racing car. engine make 547hp on pump grade 98 octane or 564hp on pump grade 110 octane. There are pros and cons for both engine block materials, use and cost. Top fuel...

Yep there economy and infrastructure growth is on a massive scale,road,power,drains,tens of thousands of bridges all the things we take for granted they have to build from nothing. Still if AUS dosn't invest in life beyond selling raw materials our day will come to. still love ya truck lol gotta...

I am sorry to hear how bad things are in the US,hope you can get your self back up and running soon!. We didn't get overly affected by the GFC in AUS i think because we export so much to China, if there economy or growth slows we could be in trouble. Our police and other services are controlled...

Thats good to hear Roger, media seems to doom and gloom the USA at the moment.Central Midwest is that nascar country? or is that more southern states.

how do i upload photos to my threads,

Hello mustangtoby,only thought about doing it because all i could save from my tub was the sides,needs new back panel and floor. check my gallery

Sorry didn't know sh-- was a banned word. I do remember word being beebed out on shows like occ that are acceptable here we get the f word on tv. apologies !

The purchase of a new truck will help stimulate the economy,keep workers working. We had a goverment tax break on any new work gear a couple of years ago.Helped get us out of the ****.

How is work in USA at the moment,what i hear on tv is not good but can't really trust what you see on tele. Hope its not as bad as there reporting. At least it's cheaper for me to import parts at the moment as long as suppliers have stock!

Very interesting, f pickups were only sold as basic work trucks here, low trim level, early factory power steering is very rare i had a 82 swb 351c auto but no pwr str or air, got it from original owner with service books, very basic.It had been converted to duel fuel, lpg and petrol. Any f...

Ok,all that was avaliable through our ford dealers was short or long wheel base 4x2 until 73 were 4x4 became avaliable but only short or long wheel base but only as a single cab.Bronocs were sold later in the 70s i think.

Happy Birthday
