I have just got a trekker project and the chassis number starts with 182 but its a LHD. I thought all 182 models were RHD. I'm new to trekkers so only starting to get into the details. anyone know is this is correct?

182 The "2" is for 1972.

181 designation is LHD (left hand drive)
182 designation is RHD (right hand drive)
The original poster was mixing up the VIN with the model #.

Yes, that's what I meant. I guess I just threw 183 in there to confuse things.
