Goliath/Siege Tank animation tweak

Here's how it goes, I need to use either the Terran Goliath or the Siege Tank Tankmode model in one of my maps. Both of these models are available from wc3sear.ch. Thing is, both lack that certain something that allows you to lock the chest facing to face a particular unit. The Goliath has a head bone so I can lock the head to face the position, but I need the body to swivel.

Is anyone out there willing to help me add a chest bone (or whatever is required) to allow me to use the "Animation- lock body part facing" trigger action with either of these models?

The links to both models as follows:

Siege Tank

Kudos to killst4r for his excellent work, but I need to take it a step further.

For an example of what that trigger action does in game, please refer to the attached screenshot. In this screenshot, you can see that the marine's legs and weapon are facing us but his chest is facing the opposite direction.

I want to be able to do the same thing with the Goliath with the entire Goliath upper body (including weapon arms) twisting like the marine in the screenshot. I don't much care if it messes up the unit's attack animation, I just need it to be able to swivel.
