Its US$26,500 just for the conversion
They use a dummy box, which is good/bad, I don't like the idea, but it does mean that I can bolt on any front end part from a US truck.
I think the guy has a low volume import license, so could do imports for people not coming under the same scheme I am, but I know there is increased costs (and bs) involved.

The one advantage (price wise) is that you can buy a used truck over here and import it, so at the exchange rate at the time it was going cost me a similar amount as a good condition/lower km crew cab/4x4/7.3 in Aus.
Here is what she looks like at the moment.

AMAZING PHOTO!
I can see what a lot of work the conversion is!!
Can they put the firewall back with some hinges? That way you'll never be in a cab-off situation. Just 'unclip' the dash, open the firewall, and hey-presto, access to all those hard-to-access bits and pieces!
I would love to get my hands on a 6.7 one day. I think the refinements mentioned in this thread would win my better half over pretty quickly!

Removing the Dash to get to it (even with hinges) is a lot... lot more work than lifting the cab - although you do need a lift. Lifting the cab is about a 2hr operation to get it up and back down, so not too difficult. The 6.7 is better than the 6.0l/6.4l in that it doesn't need the cab to be lifted for most operations (like turbo swap) that the older motors did, but lifting the cab definitely provides easier access if you do it.
The 6.7 is appreciated more by my better half than by me I think. Apparently being able to hold a conversation while travelling is a good thing???
I miss the sound of the 7.3... and the manual transmission.
