Postal Carrier Brake and Gas Installed in 2017 Ford F150 4x4
Steering stick and blinker rod installed
I drive about 90 miles on the my route daily
I’ve been a rural carrier for 27 years, I started out sitting in the middle of a bench seat and delivered the mail that way for about 20 years, this resulted in both of my shoulders being injured by the repetitive reaching, after recovering from surgery I needed to have a right hand drive, I have driven a factory right hand drive jeep and a Chevy Colorado converted to right hand drive with an older two steering wheel and pedal setup.
This pedal and steering stick kit is easy to get used to and within a week I was driving very naturally.
My one worry was, if I needed to take sudden evasive action, would I be able to swerve and brake and control the vehicle. Just a few days in, a car started to pull out in front of me and I reacted just as I would have if I was behind the steering wheel, the road was snow covered, I was able to counter steer and regain control and fortunately the car stopped before pulling all the way out in front of me.
Although I did practice driving before the first day on the route, it took about two hours of driving on the route with concentrated attention to begin to feel comfortable, the first week I was considerably slower, and I purposely took my time defensively driving, however now after a few weeks I’m back to my usual pace of delivery.
The kit was easy to install and I took my time. The blinker rod was the only thing that really didn’t work as intended, it wouldn’t stay firmly in place and would slip off, I had to clamp and tape it to keep it from slipping off.
This kit allows me to have the vehicle I want instead of a high priced Jeep and to use the truck on the left hand side when not working. I really like it.
