rhasler Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I wonder if any of you collectors in the US have any Australian right hand drive trucks in your collections. Seems like those would be kind of rare in the States. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

Terry T Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I cannot say that I have ever seen any right hand drive trucks @ any shows. But I always thought that a bit of a novelty on the truck pulling circuit would be a right hand drive Superliner....

Would be great if you bought it to Macungie. You would probably be the first to import an Australian Mackt to the USA. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

I don't know that a truck would be any different in that respect. Weight and length limits would probably be the biggest problems. Maybe emissions too, if the engine is set to Australian emissions levels. It would be really neat to see it though because apparently there aren't (m)any here.

I have sent a few cars to the USA that we have built here, and I all ready have my red coupe in Chicago, pic is in road train gallery, thats been in the USA since i lived there in 2005. its hard to over take tho.I doubt the emissions would be an issue as it will be compliant as the 1969 chassis, and engine is an 866.Grant Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14882-just-wondering/#findComment-59936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
