That person we all know had no hand in fitting it, and not Finke river, much further south I seem to recollect.

You are quite right, Richard. I think that person did help in obtaining it and shipping it. Could have got the wrong river but the result was still the same.

I did help fit both the 6.354 Perkins, the air brakes and the transfer case but no-one thought that the front shaft turned the wrong way.


I put a GMC 6x6 transfer case into my Chev C60X and had the same problem. That fix was easy, we just pulled the axles and turned the diff assembly around 180 degrees. Problem solved. On the QL you can't turn the diff around so another transfer case from a Blitz was obtained, fitted and new tail shafts made to suit. All good now.

Regards Rick.
