Steering column change is on the left. Factory imported F250's had it on the right. These all came out of Mexico
Chrysler Voyagers are also on the right
All our turn signal stalks are on the right for local cars Euro imports (BMW Volvo etc) are on the left

My father's story makes more sense now. My folks rented a car in London. They drove all over and came back to the hotel after antiquing and started to unload in the circular drive. An impatient cabby honked at my father incessantly. He hopped into the rental car, put the car into what he thought was drive, hit the accelerator and slammed into the cab behind him. He thought he got hit, wanting to pull away from the angry man behind him he hit the accelerator again and smashed the cabby harder the second time. They took the car back to the rental agency and were told that 7 of 10 Americans wreck their cars, to some degree.
Luckily, my father is 6'6" as I think the cabby wanted to kick his ass.

No, I just figured you would get a laugh from that and I have worked with quite a few people over the years and picked up some pretty good slangs and sayings  As it is working in a mining environment I work with people from across Canada,and from different parts of the world.

Damn, that looks great. If you haven't already rebuilt the front suspension, now will be a perfect time to do it.
