Attached is our Chev Truck, it has been well looked after and is maintained regardless of cost.It was bought to tow our race car around the country but after only a few rounds the GFC hit and the series was cancelled.

In anticipation of travelling all over the country we replaced anything we thought may cause us dramas whilst on the road so it has new steering linkages, rear drums, wheel bearings, linings, alternator, CVR hi-torque starter and new headlights with HID globes and ballasts (awesome light).

It has a Alpine CD player with decent alpine speakers and is plenty loud enough without having to modify the truck to much to fit it.

The Truck has a 454 and T400 both were rebuilt by the previous owner and have been faultless, i fitted a dominator tow converter to improve towing large loads off the line and to increase capacity and it tows our race trailer with ease. It has a high capacity tow pack and a ute liner so can be used without fear of damaging the tray.

It is straight gas and has 200litres on hand and gets great mileage for interstate trips. (tanks have just been certified)

It has power steering and power brakes so can be driven by just about anyone. A/C has a leaky hose (hp off compressor) and is all that is required to get it up and running, i was qouted $150 including hose and hi-chill gas.

The interior is actually one of the best parts of this truck, usually these trucks have a terrible dash (much like hq to hz holdens) but this truck has had a full right hand drive conversion done using a late model electronic dash (see pictures).

It will need a few things for road worthy namely tyres and a windscreeen. There is a bit of rust in each back door and a little bit on the firewall, it is nothing to worry about and was there when we bought the car, it has been treated and was going to be fixed when the truck was to be painted in team colours which never happened due to the race series cancellation.

(INCLUDES A FULL COLOR CODED FIBREGLASS CANOPY)

We are happy for test drives and inspections so please get in contact.

interesting. a chev with a ford xf dash and fairmont guages.

nice touch

yup and all the heater and a/c gear out of a XG so its all late model, cheap and easy to work on, replace and far better looking than the original chev and GM gear. the GM a/c compressor was about 45kilos :)

Hello,

I've just come across this and that dash looks fantastic. I've got a F100 and i've been thinking about doing something very similar for ages.

Did you do the conversion yourself? and is there any chance you have more pictures?

I have about a squillion questions lol

Nice work

Ben

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
