Am getting ready for new rear tires, figure good time to install new shocks, anyone have the shock bolt length required on the rear?
Do you mean eye to eye?
I posted the ebay link someplace with the measurements of replacements. Not OE size but very close.
just after the bolt length, I know the bottom bolts are 3/4x4-1/2 NC, it's the top one's you can't get to without removing the rims, be my luck they are rusted into a glob and will need to cut them off. For those of you tire shopping in the Northwest, I found Toyo's at the Les Schawb Burney Cal. store about $40 per tire cheaper than at the state line store in Oregon, some things just don't make sense.
Be aware there were several different chassis back then. Parts for an ORED will likely be very different from U280/300. So please make clear exactly what chassis you have. Both are still called Grand Villas.
Second, before "hanging your hat" on pin to pin dimensions, be sure that RIDE HEIGHT is set properly.
And if it IS an Oshkosh chassis, the chassis number should be visible by looking in over the driver's side front tire at the frame.
Our number, for example, is V-817.
When offered a "really good deal" on new tires, always verify the production date. Old tires from the back storeroom sell cheaper.
