Thread: importing stonking great truck into Southampton

Not sure if it needs an SVA or IVA test, but the conversion can take time and also they run many tests, like angle of the lights, and holes a child can get caught on as they fly over the hood, the visibility of the rear view mirrors. It will pass this test with bauld tyres, as long as the truck cannot exceed the speed rating of the tyres.

Due to the age of the truck you may not to do this test, hopefully someone will give you a definate answer.

If you can get a book on the truck, like a wiring diagram, then any electrical mechanic could tackle it.

Hope all goes well with your truck, and good luck.

There is a chap fairly local to here, he imports trucks from the states and sell them on. There is a chance he could do the work for you. Stumpys Toy Town - used American car sale Just say Dan from the Renegades sent you, he should see you okay.
