Added a 1915 RHD (right hand drive) hogshead to Chickasha load

A little late to be adding this to the load as we leave tomorrow morning. I have a 1915 right hand drive hogs head that is in nice condition. It is cast iron and has the ribbed pedals. I believe cast iron is correct for late 15 in US and probably for Canada and Europe. This is the major component to having a RHD car here in the US. Would be neat to use on a speedster build. If anyone wants photos I can try to post some this evening or just ask. Will be at spaces SL12-13 and 14 in south building. Look for the rooftop tent on a Tacoma. See ya'll there. (I'm from Arkansas so I can legally say ya'll) :)

Donnie, presumably you dated it for 1915 on the basis that the pedals are ribbed. On or Canadian cars the pedals were ribbed right up to 1925, so your hogshead would suit 1915-1919 cars prior to the introduction of the starter motor.

Allan. Thanks, there are so many difference in USA vs Canadian. I was just going by ribbed pedals are 1915 only in the US.
