I love how the hood release was left allllllll the way over there like the US models... Seems a tad inconvenient.

Yeah after your advice earlier numberdummy
I pulled the wheel and the column plastics and immediate dash plastic to have a look at it. It appears to be a solid shaft column with no ability to tilt. The fella from work wasn't sure if there was a tilting version of this (on the tree) column so I'll have to trawl the Interweb to see..
If this was a LHD truck it'd be easy, sooo many options.
If any of you have any ideas I'd be interested in hearing them will study this for next month then it's going to be steering wheel options and seat mods I think...I'm not happy with doing anythin to permanently mod such an original truck..

It and the 4x4 transfer stick position are mildly inconvenient. I was adjusting the hood yesterday and I walked to the driver side to pull the hood at least 6times outta 7 during that process...Doh!!

I've made a desicion on plan of attack. I'm going to install a smaller(350mm)wheel an remove seat, chop 1"1/2 inches out of the bracket to lower seat height and see how we go.
I will keep looking for(as asking for) any info about a tilting column that'll fit an maybe buy a LHD tilter from USA and have a close look at if a conversion is possible..(convert LHD tilt column to replace/mod RHD non tilt Aussie column)
If anybody has any information or ideas in the meantime please let us know. Cheers G. I'll post pics as I go.
