Unicorn saddle sighted down under

Hi Guys,

I just had to mention that out on the road yesterday, in South East Melbourne, Australia, I saw what appeared to be an original red paint, RHD, Dual Cab bumpside driving down the road.

If the owner happens to be a member here, by all means please post photos of this very rare beast!!

"RARE" is an understatement.

I was just wondering what makes this truck so rare? RHD or the whole package? I owned a '69 F250 Dual Cab 4x4 flareside from '73 to '85 when I sold it -along with 5 other Bumps and Dents. Do I have yet another reason to be massively depressed? BTW- red with white top.

He's talking about a right hand drive truck in Australia.

thx! Only reason I wondered was because I read sometime back that crew cab 4x4's were not common in the 60's.

They certainly seem to be in demand now, at least in our little corner of the collector's market. As for the regret, forget about it. When I start to think about all the cool cars I let slip through my fingers, I just focus on the one I have now. There's really no sense in living in the past anyway.
