Yeah we didn't get any column shifts, only 4sp on the floor or auto's
That truck looks very similar too mine :)
Im pretty sure they were built in the US and exported to Aus, not sure though.

It's in Lake County, right next to Clearlake. Lake County is just above Napa County if that helps.

Mine hasn't actually got a vin plate on the door, i think the previous owner took it off :s
This is the start of the vin:
AGIJNU

A USA
G Broadmeadows
1J F100
N 1973
U Feb

Im not sure if it was assembled or just complianced in Broadmeadows.. I know definitely that the dentsides were assembled in AUS due to some of the parts being from our falcons...

Interesting. I was curious if it'd show a US or AU plant on the plate.

They must have used very slow boats to get the trucks / parts to you guys those, took a whole year to get the 72 models over! :P
