Hi guy's , I'm keen on bringing back an F250 idi to New Zealand and ideally will wind up with a super cab 4x4 '87 - '94 ZF5. My problem is that as we are RHD over here once you bring something in that is over 7700lb in glw , you have to convert it to RHD ..... my f150 is ok but the 250 will pose a problem.
One possible solution would be (maybe) to buy a running complete 250 and then buy a 150 cab of the same year from the wreckers (salvage yard?) , swap cabs over and use this form https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/c...91a-8daf-db19a06ca226/reg5036.pdf?MOD=AJPERES to line everything up vin number wise and then use this form to have the title reissued as a f150 https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/c...44f6-853b-eabd471afdaa/reg343.pdf?MOD=AJPERES . I've been over twice before to buy cars and parts for shipping home and reselling , luckily for me i made a very good friend who lives in Yuba City CA , he has a small acreage so i'd have somewhere to do the swap. Does this sound like a viable thing or would i be better forgetting the versatility of the supercab and just converting the truck i have ?
Cheers Mark
