ARE THERE MANY PARTS AROUND THERE?
I AM LOOKING FOR THE PARTS TO MAKE MY
69 C-10 A RIGHT HAND DRIVE.
ALSO THE PARTS FOR THE WIPERS.
COULD YOU HELP?

All of the trucks I've seen over here have been imported left hand drive. My truck is standard US spec left hand drive.

I don't think that Chevrolet ever officially imported trucks into the UK. We don't really have the roads for them (too narrow and winding and parking lots are a nightmare for me!)

I buy most of my parts direct from the usual suppliers in the US. You just don't find these kind of trucks in junkyards here, even specialist ones. Most parts change hands by word of mouth.

I would think that your best bet for right hand drive parts may be Australia as American car companies had much more of a presence there in the 60's and 70's. They also drive on the left (legacy of their colonial past, wonder where we went wrong with you lot?! LOL) I saw quite a lot of American vehicles over there when I visited about 10 years ago.

Curious to know why you you want to do this?

I HAVE THE ASSEMBLY BOOK FOR THE THESE TRUCKS. IT SHOWS THAT CHEVY OFFERED A RIGHT HAND DRIVE OPTION.I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE SO MUCH DIFFERENT THEN ANY OTHER TRUCK.
I AM GOING TO CHANGE THE WIPERS SO THEY
OPEN OPPISET TO EACH OTHER.

THANKS FOR YOUR INFO
