A mail delivery vehicle with a 429? I guess gas was a little cheaper

Did he modify it for right-hand drive? Out in the boonies where I live, I
have noticed that some of the rural carriers have factory RHD vehicles
(mostly Jeeps, but also some Subarus), but most have what seem to be
ingenious homemade conversions using bicycle sprockets and a chain to turn
the steering wheel.
