Right hand drive conversions, avoid?
Discussion
Hi All
Just after opinions. I'm currently on the hunt for another Ram. One has popped up this week and it is pretty much the perfect example, good colour, sensible miles, interior and exterior original and in good condition, loads of history and some very tasty mechanical upgrades.
The only thing I'm questioning is its right hand drive. From the pics it looks ok, but obviously cant tell fully until I see it in person.
Just wondering if there is any particular reason to avoid a converted truck? Advert says it was imported to the UK new and converted before sale in 2004, not sure who by.
Seller says he has had it 18months and its had no problems and with 50k miles on it I guess any significant problems would have made themselves known by now?
Are thee any knows converters I should avoid? I'll ask if he can say who converted it.
Thanks for any help.

Top pic is from the advert bottom pic is a standard LHD one.
From what I can easily see, the red starter button has moved from the centre pillar to down by the gear stick, and the bit of dash with I guess the airbag is a bit different. Silver trim panel there had the writing at the wrong end too so is probably the original piece relocated.
