Does Ford make a right-hand drive version of the F150 for foreign/special service sales?

If so, the passenger side of a right-hand drive F150 would have a grab handle.

Purchase a trim piece with the grab handle for the passenger side of a right-hand drive F150 and install it on your left-hand drive truck!!

There's places that do conversion kits but they don't make the pillar in general

Probably England is the closest pace with RH drive. I don't know if Ford sells full size trucks there.

The 2015 parts are out! Now it is just a matter of if the hardware is there in our trucks for the handle. If I am right the part # is <02344 for both LH and RH Pilars.

Anyone have an idea on weather the hardware is being the pilar or how to take the pilar off?

You will need to fabricate a mount/attachment solution.

To remove the existing A-pillar trim - gently pull-out at the top to release the top clip (it's a 2-piece clip), work your way down to middle to release the other clip, and the trim will slide-out from the dash bracket groove.

Sorry to have thread jacked this but, I bought the 2015 LH Pillar (Moulding) with the handle, it came with a speaker in it so I have "adjusted' the sony speaker to fit it.

The mounting tabs are not the same (As one would suspect) so I have cut them off, Now here is where the hard part has come in to play for the moment. There are 2 pre drilled holes in the pillar BUT they do not line up with the 2015 part. SO, I have drilled out two holes to add screws to the pillar on the truck.

I didnt mimic the passenger side yet, going to see how well this works. Pics to come when it is done.
