Yes the B Model and the LTL will be going to Alice Springs Next week. We're based just at the bottom of the blue Mountains just outside of Sydney. The LTL is a US spec unit fitted with a Big Cam Cummins,Quad box & Joey The B Model is an Aussie Spec with a 2V E6 and Quad Box. As to the shocks, Thanks for the info Guys. At this stage looks like they'll be staying off..

Hit another Snag yesterday evening. I've got one side fitted up with new links, Balls & Seals and works fine, however on the Left side, it seems the shock may have been assembled incorrectly sometime in the past. Looking at the shock perpendicular to the chassis rail, It's normal range of movement should be from 7:30 -10:30 (if you picture a clock face) However this unit is going 5:45 - 8:45 and is obviously wrong. So I need to either dissasemble the unit or remove the arm and refit, and I'm assuming here the arm is an interferance fit on the shaft. I havn't been able to get the top section of the housing to unscrew more than 1/6 of a turn so am really at a loss as how to proceed. Heading off to Alice Springs next week so havn't got the time to source another one. Good News though, our 51 LTL is finished, registered and ready to go

Thanks for that. Pretty much what we did last night anyhow. BUT, we had to to heat the shocks up to get the oil out as it was like tar. For now I've got SAE10 oil in them, as they're mainly only being fitted for asthetics

Ok, Got it all set up but the shocks are full of crud. Any idea of the correct way to dissasemble them ?

Thanks guys. We've got a 51 LTL and a 43 Mack as well. The Shock links on those are near vertical.

Hey Guys, I'm in the process of fitting a set of the rotary shocks to our B Model. it never had any on it when we restored it. Later this month the old girl is doing about a 5000 mile round trip so want to fit a set of shocks The problem is that using the exisiting holes in the chassis, the geometry seems all stuffed up. Anybody able to post some pics of how they should mount ?
