Vladislav Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 A real unreal beauty! And nice color. The cabinet is a no comments object. That whole fiberglass cab shows some differences in shape along the back wall relating to the US version. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51653-truck-sho/#findComment-384823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Swishy In your picture of the drivers side foot well, it shows the steering shaft coming straight down thru the floor real near the clutch peddle.. It looks like it would be in the way of your left foot both getting on the clutch or resting on the floor??? My mate says on his American F model the steering shaft continues the line of the steering wheel and goes thru the floor a lot closer to the front of the foot well. Was this an Aussie thing???? Or a difference in the Fiberglass cab??? Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51653-truck-sho/#findComment-384986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a difference in the Fiberglass cab??? Brocky, The first batch of F models here in Australia still had the steering Box on the LHS & a Complicated arrangement involving Push bike Chain to get the Steering Wheel to the Other side.. later Models They put the "F" cab on a "R" model Chassis Hence the different Steering arrangement you noticed.. This is Why Most aussie F models have the "FR" model designation..

BillyT Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm in awe at the quality work on that F model! Is it difficult for a right handed driver to learn to shift left handed?
