Looks like you guys get a dead pedal as well.
Yes we do.

RAM need to bring them to Australia factory made. The company that does the conversion has only been doing them for 5years now and still can't do agood job. Lots of issues which is making a bad name for RAM here.

That's a pretty good looking conversion, but why not just leave it as a left side drive? It would be much cheaper, right?
If you left it left hand drive, how to you go through drive through coffee, fast food etc. Plus if you think just get out of the truck, you can't when it's raining or you are in a rush.oh plus carpark station when paying is a big one.

I didn't think about that, but I rarely go through drive thru's. When I was a kid, my buddy wanted to get food but I wasn't hungry. I backed into the Burger King drive thru, so he could order and pay for his own food. 😁

Is it actually legal to have a left hand drive vehicle there? I was thinking it was required to be swapped to RHD to be able to registered and driven on the roads.

We can drive RHD vehicles here, I don't see why they couldn't have LHD there.

Yes we can have lefthand drive cars, but it has to be a certain age. More your classic old cars. All new cars need to be converted.

The guys that do the RAM have done a great job with the dash, but are **** with the steering, wiper blades and electric side of things.

RAM need to bring them factory made. We pay a huge price tag to gethem converted.

I went through an independent conversion shop and got a good conversion done. Plus I got a diesel motor and the importer for RAM Australia don't bring them in. Only hemi etorque.

How does the steering go thru the a/c area? Opposite rack, brake booster?

I can only speak for mine.
So the AC unit is stripped and rebuilt and placed on the left-hand side.
Steering rack is made of billet and designed for right hand side, the main steering shaft is relocate to the righthand side.
Brake booster is swapped over to right hand side.
Wiper blades are swapped also to work opposite way to left-hand drive vehicles.
The whole dash is mirror to left-hand drive.
The side view mirrors have re adjusted for the angle for the righthand side driver to see.
