Which would likely be a Holden Ute in that case.

South Africa,

All right hand drive ones there

Buy from inland, ie, not fro the coastal cities where the rust will be found in abundance.
many of the inland cities and towns will show examples of rust free even 30 = years old

Anyone on PH got one? My truck has a 454 Chevy in it and the only other stock car I can find that had one was the camino. I have some questions about it such as what is the normal oil pressure for it to be running at (mine is 25 PSI which seems a bit low), what oil should I use, etc.

What year /model truck/454 have you ? a 60's/70's 454 would probably take 20w50, a late 90's 454 would be something like 15w40 or even 10w30 ?
25 at idle when hot is ok, should be 50/60psi at higher revs
