It may be a front wheel limit valve Is there a limit switch on the dash? does it go to the front brakes?

It does appear to be a front axle limiting valve. I found there is at least one 80150 valve available on eBay.

Where are the parts located?

Ordered mine!!!

I don't think an MH drop visor has ever been mass produced in the US.  I imagine the vti visor was custom made by whoever built that truck.

I was thinking about doing one for mine in the past but have decided to keep the oe style.

• Chassis numbers (GVW Rating):
  • 4xx -
  • 6xx -
  • 7xx -
  • 8xx -

Note: the xx is the place holder for the engine code. 

Examples

R607 END673

R609 END711

R611 ENDT673C

R612 ETAZ673 (300+)

R615 END864 V8

R626 6v92 Detroit

R685 ENDT675 (237 Maxidyne)

R686 ENDT676 (300 Maxidyne)

R688 E6350

R719 ENDT864 V6

R795 ENDT865 V8

R797 ENDT866 V8

R747 290 Cummins

R763 335 Cummins

R767 350 Cummins

•  

• • T - Tractor
  • S - Six wheel chassis
  • L - Light weight components
•  
• RS7xxLS as our example:

  • R = R model

    S = an S after the R indicates it has a steel frame. This was a western Hayward thing i believe.

    7 = has to do with the chassis GW rating. 800/900 series were extra and super heavy duty chassis.

    XX = these two numbers are engine codes.

    L = Hayward models had this letter to denote the cab used light weight components like aluminum doors.

    S = six wheel tandem chassis. so essentially it is a 6x4 chassis.

    Another example RW613:

    The W stands for Western and together with the R means a superliner or RW. 13 is a Cummins NTC engine.

    If there is an SX after the number code like R600SX it means you have a heavy duty tandem

    X - Extreme duty

 

 

This was the first thing I found to help you

It took me a while to find it on the map this time.  It's at the end of Amstel Blvd, Arverne, Queens NY.

It looks like it probably crossed Jamaica Bay on a barge from JFK.

And it does appear to have been previously used with this trailer in conjunction with a jeep in one photo I found.

I read somewhere quite a few years back that this wasn't the trailer this truck was first put into service with. It might have only been used for the JFK job.  If that's the case it's not a tremendous loss in my eyes if it doesn't get saved.

I can't imagine the logistics involved with getting the truck out of there on the streets.  I'd think the only way to get the trailer out of there in one piece would be on the river.

I was hoping to get a chance to see it someday. Now there's a good chance I will

Does Rest Rite sound familiar? They were very popular on with operators of Mack trucks before Mack produced their own integral unit. They were manufactured not far from me. I have an interest in them and own two of them. I'm actually just curious. I can't tell for sure but it closely resembles one. The black paint and picture resolution make it hard to pick up on any fine details. Thanks.

It's definitely not a rest-rite. We had a couple of them. They had flush doors with keyed latches. Not the paddle latches. They also had the emblem on the side of the little man laying on a flatbed. We even had a superliner with a loungeliner rest-rite bunk. I'd love to find another one of them 

After some searching I think Vlad is correct about it being an Able Body.

Seems be back online at the $30k price.  
 

There were comments on another forum that the bunk hole was enlarged but not finished.  

I haven't seen it again. I think that bunk opening was original to the manufacturer. It did appear to be missing the headliner in the cab though. My family had a couple of that brand sleeper in the 90's but I don't recall the name 

And....it's gone, likely sold.

Price drop....$22500

And that drilling in the left knuckle for the steering lever must be empty on the 1st gen RW and WS. As on the pictures.

Nice looking dog. I have no idea on what they're asking but suppose it will find a new home soon.

Thanks for posting.

They are asking $30k, it's too high for me but the market here hasn't fallen back to reality here yet. If it was mine I'd probably ask that much too.

Yeah something doesn't look right about this pic of the front end either. 

Shouldn't there be some sort of upper control arm? 

The Superliner 1's and possibly cruiseliners too ran the drag link to the passenger side. Not really a great setup.

If you look through the pics you'll see it is missing the rear transverse torque rod. The mount is broken on the frame

The bulldog I bought has legs 1” apart and has a part #87931.

This bracket on my truck has two holes about 1.25” apart. Your saying no in between base needed just a bulldog with wider feet. Anyone know a part number of bulldog that bolts onto my mount? 

87931 is the patent number they all had. More than likely you have a smaller bumper guide dog. Easiest way to know you're buying the right size without a part number is if it has cropped ears. The smaller ones only had sharp pointed ears.

Where are the parts located?

There is one at gerhart's that's complete. The shows in a few weeks. Can look at it then.

I wonder if those ever came with a dual speed governor. I have a 285 with an ambac that's got a dual speed and we just supplied it with constant air pressure to run at the higher speed.

I think your biggest concerns will be that the '07 cab probably relies on a j1939 data link for diagnostics and instrumentation that wasn't likely present on the '00 chassis. The closest experience I've had was putting an '02 cab on an '07 Peterbilt. I spent a lot of time altering wiring harnesses to make it work.

The 2 model years you're dealing with had completely different instrument panels so I'd expect you'll run into trouble wiring it.

Yeah @DavCut that was me exploring the backyard as I've done many times before. It's a bit less occupied than the first time I was back there but there are still new things to discover every time.  Roger believes he bought this truck as a package deal along with the Rosenkraus B model he used to have back there. I'd love to own half the trucks he's forgotten to have owned currently or at one time.  I just talked to him yesterday about some Mack and Euclid haul trucks he might be interested in purchasing near me.

The front of that is in pretty nice shape.  That has an equally impressive stretch job on the frame. 

I saw that after posting. It took a while to look through all the pictures and then be disappointed.
