Title: F&R shock part numbers/options please
Post by: willo on August 18, 2010, 10:41:12 AM

Hi all,
I am at the stage of fitting new shocks all round to my LWB Cab/Chassis camper and went to my local Repco and local parts shop asking about options.
They could not find a 1975 Bedford in their shock supplier books  ???  They offered to ring up and check numbers etc and see what they could find out so a solution was at hand :)
However, I am wondering what everyone else is doing for new shocks.  Given that I have a double bed over the cab and a heap of cladding and steel in the high caravan type body i want something pretty solid to stop as much body sway as I can.

The front shocks look like normal Holden front shocks to me.  Is that correct?  I'm not sure of the shock length though.
The back ones appear fairly normal with an eye on each end.

Does anyone have any suggestions of brands etc and if so, what part numbers are they?

Thanks in advance

Neil

I had the same trouble with Repco in NZ. Their catalogue misses information on CF shocks.
They kept trying though and found some. If you take in an old one they can match it.
