    I understand shocks were standard on the workshop trailers.
    All workshops I have seen do have them - no doubt a feature to protect the occasional piece of less than robust equipment that they had the potential to be carrying.

    Most commerical single axle cargo trailers these days do not have 'em, but higher quality camper trailers seem to.

    Workshop trailers were fitted with shockers,same type as 2a GS from memory,also the few water tank trailers,modded GS,from memory the axle is solid on the early builds,1966-70,later trailers may have had thick walled tube 150-200 lb. steam tube,but I don't know when or at what contract No it changed.

    hope that is of help.

    Thanks so much. With that help I think I've worked out that the shocks are probably RTC4483 which superceeded RTC4484. They are about $42 each from Karcraft. Any further advice appreciated, otherwise an order will be placed Monday, with fingers crossed.
