G'day Frank, I went to Performance West here in Perth, a company that sells Chev, Ford & Dodge trucks fully converted inc. wind screen wiper direction, licensed and ready to roll. I enquired about bringing my own truck back & they do conversions from $30,000 to $35,000 depending on truck. I have heard of someone doing conversions in Mundaring, I will enquire.
