Right Hand Drive Question

[MiltYergens]

I own several old Mopars both cars and trucks (from the 40's and early 50's), I always have noticed the "redundant" stampings in the floor and firewall and frame supports and holes to accommodate right hand drive steering clutch and brake pedal locations. I also note that the shift mechanism will be mounted on the left side of the steering shaft and the right. So here is my question, is the shift "H" pattern the same for reversed and does the linkage cross over to the left side of the transmission or are the transmissions different (controlled from the right side of their case)?

Thanks,

Milt

The RHD setup is basically mirror reversed to the US LHD as far as the shift H pattern, the steering box lives between the oil & fuel pumps, accelerator linkage is much simpler, clutch linkage is mirror reversed, we have never had a foot starter in cars as far as I know, its always been the key ignition then a starter button on the right hand side of the dash, also vaccum wipers have not been very common in Oz mopars,I had never seen one till I bought my 41 Plymouth Coupe which is supposedly a factory RHD Sth African car, Oz factory workshop manuals don't even mention vaccum wipers at all.........my car has the hood release still under the left side of the dash tho'.....andyd
