YouTube - HORSPWR Profiled: 52 Ford Pickup

I know this truck is overseas, and they said it has a jag front end, but wouldn't the dash have to be reworked as well? looks like a really cool truck ether way.

The trucks produced overseas were right hand drive with the dash reversed. Pretty cool truck!

If you check out the frame on these truck you notice they're set up to be either left or right hand drive. They have matching mounting holes in the frame. The bodies are very symmetrical so it wouldn't be that hard to swap driving sides. There was a '48-50 a few years back on eBay from South Africa:
