Re: hello from western australia
Beautiful truck!! Its funny, I have seen my share of right side drive vehicles over the years, but that is the first time I have seen an engine compartment shot of one. I took a double take when I saw the brake booster on that side. Took me a sec to realize what was different...
By the way, I love the two tone job using the hood line as the divider. My favorite spot for the divide on the bump trucks!!

Re: hello from western australia
from choo-choo town. There about a half dozen or so of ya'll on here from down under-but you'd be the first DRW drive owner from there. And there are probably 15-20 of us DRW truck owners here on Fordification-but you'd definitely be the first DRW owner showing a pic doing a burnout!
Awesome looking truck, love the Alcoa's.

Re: hello from western australia
Welcome from Southern California. I love the truck. I don't imagine it's a daily driver with that monster motor. Do you know where the truck was originally built? I was unaware Ford had assembly plants in Australia.

welcome from Asheville NC. Very nice truck. I was noticing the front bumper. Is that off a later model ? Looks good on there.

Re: hello from western australia
thanks guys nice to meet ya all... yeah i like drw trucks i build this 10 years ago as a wrecker truck{tow truck} i,ll post a photo if i can find one and when
i stopped doing that i changed it to a well body and make my own glass dually fenders our drw trucks never came well body here and the diff is narrow. and as
for the burn out where was water down but it still will turn the tyres one one side..and as for the assembly plant not sure if it was assembled in australia going
to look into that but we allways called this model the canadian model? the front and rear bars are off a 90,s f150 i think. and the stroker motor is mild just
built to have torque and pull along a 2half ton truck..
