Default little step

Got into the shed this afternoon and removed the driveshaft, steering and the remaining cab freeing the chassis for a good look.
Of the 4 shocks only one is 100% complete and the original radiator mounts have been cut off during the conversion to a holden set up.
My questions are:
Can the radiator mounts found on the F60 chassis be used on a F15 chassis?

And can the shocker arms (not the housings) found on F60/C60 be used to replace the missing arms and connections on my F15 chassis?

Hi Ryan
The radiator brackets are the same but I think the arms may be different on the shockers. They are shorter and have more of a crank in them.

Default shock arms

Thanks for that Keith, I do know of another F15 wreck that has them but its a bit of a hike. Better get my boots.

Hi Luke,
There has been a little progress, but small.
Spending time on the chassis. Cleaning, grinding and removing bits and pieces.

Did a little trip recently and came across this little beast of a Blitz. Very impressive gear on it. Later model Ford V8 in it too. Not for sale however.
