Hi Mark I noticed your shock number (85734) is 1 lower than ours (85735). As you may already know these shock specs are identical except for their "Extended, Collapsed, and Stroke" numbers which I would assume is due to their different mounting positions on the chassis. Wonder if that is related to your drive train modification? Interesting.

Sorry I did order the 85735 ,didn't notice I hit the 4 instead of the five, thanks

Does anyone have suggestions for a 1982 MCI MC9? I am positive that all of mine need replaced. On a recent trip up north I ran into some bridges with a dip before and a dip after the bridge, seemed like about every 5 miles there was one, and my airbags got a heck of a work out, I never felt it completely bottom out, but it had to be close.

Bill62 these should be the numbers for Gabriells and should be able to cross reference them from there.

They'll be quite a few bus nuts at the Florida Flywheelers big show in February 2024. Maybe we'll see you there!
It's a stone's throw from Polk City. Check it out on Google. Really large venues on over 300 acres with one of the largest swap meet flea markets in the country.

Thanks for the info Dan. We go there every year usually in January. We have seen Jack and Paula Conrad with Jack pulling with a lawn tractor And John Vickery and wife. Maybe see you there. You and I have met and your wife showed me your bus down in Acadia just after you rebuilt your engine.

That's great Mark! I can't remember sheet. Remind me when we see each other at the Flywheelers. Jeff aka Ginos Garage will be hosting the Wanderlodge group there so buses plus more buses.

February will be here before we know it.
