Just pitched a couple used ones I had laying around a few weeks ago don't know if they would have been any good anyway but I would have given them to you a few weeks back. About all I can suggest is to give Northwest Truck in Edmonton Alberta a call if anyone has a remaned cooler on the shelf they will if not they can re core your cooler for you. They aren't cheap but they stand behind their stuff I've got many 866 parts from them. Their number is 1-800-665-9248 ask for Harold he's one of the owners and knows his stuff on the older stuff.

Superdog, I've only made stuff for my Superliner and just kinda dreamed stuff up as I went. I usually have my sheet metal friend make me up about 4 sets of fender guards just to have on hand. They're patterned off an old bores set I had bout for mine years ago. I had made my rear light panel, recessed deck plate, bracket for light cord plug. I plan on closing the rear of the frame behind the fifth wheel in stainless to match my deck plate.

85snowdog it belongs to the guy from Zephyr Peat up east of Barrie. He's a fellow Great Lakes Truck Club member and HCEA member. He had it up at Clifford in June and said he had 2 and that one was the worse of the 2 . I think he has a lot of stuff I know he has a really sweet F700 with a 866 375HP V8 he pulls the float and brigs a Northwest Model41 dragline up to the HCEA events .

1 set of guards with all the hardware to fasten to your fenders is $100 shipping is extra

Sorry I ate those oranges last winter. Might be a good promotion though to throw in a free basket of oranges with every set of fender guards! Lol! Thanks for the idea!

Ch air tank is spoken for it's going along with a couple other things in a trade for a John Deere lawn mower the guys supposed to be bringing it down and getting the parts next weekend, but if he bails I'll let you know.

A bit of advice on storing that crankshaft. Stand it on end if it's not fastened in the block otherwise it will warp laying like that over time and be junk.

I think you might be right bbigrig that would be the right vintage for the Persian gulf war. 85snowdog that would be a good truck for you since it was built not far from you or me either. If my dam lottery numbers would come in I'd be on a plane with cash in one hand and a dealer plate in the other.

Yes I have 1 set left, I'll be getting more sets punched out with a bunch of other stuff soon if anyone else wants a set.

What are the odds! Too cool! Definitely better than a pot of gold.

I'm not into the purple fenders either but it does look like he's put a lot of bucks into a restoration on it not sure about 60k worth but it's a sharp looking truck. I'm guessing from the area code it's up in the Ottawa area.

A lot of variables on weights in Ontario all depends what type of configuration you have. An air ride tandem tandem configuration with a 53' trailer could be good for up to 89,949lbs gross weight, depending on the distance between axles we like our spreads up here.

They have a Cabover Kenworth at the T/A in Woodstock Ontario. Guess he does love all of them.

The U Joints you should be able to get anywhere you get your truck parts from. U joints for a steering shaft should be standard.

The # should be stamped on the box somewhere. Sometimes they're on the back side. My Superliner was stamped on the side facing the frame. You might be able to run the VIN and find out the info you need.

All depends how worn it is. You might be able to take up some slop by adjusting the screw on the worm. Don't touch the pressure screw. If it's too bad best to pull it off and get it rebuilt somewhere that rebuilds steering boxes you might be able to exchange for a remaned steering box. They can be pricey.

I believe Superdog is correct on using engine oil being what it originally called for.. I changed the pump on the 866 I had and ran power steering fluid with some Lucas power steering stop leak in it to condition seals in the box . I put a bit of the Lucas in all my old stuff whether it leaks or not. ATF probably would be ok too in that system. I f you don't find any major leaks when you top it up and run it back and forth and you have all the air worked out and the reservoir still goes down you might have a seal gone in the pump putting it into the engine oil. I've had that problem with the small Vickers pumps like that. I just pitched a box full of those pumps actually shells of those pumps all of them had broken shafts. Hopefully your problem is just a line.

Some insurance companies will want an appraisal on your truck. I had my Superliner appraised about a month ago. The guy appraised it at $33000.00 I was pleased with that but when the broker went to write me under Hagerty they filled out all the paperwork had me get it appraised and then told me it was too new for them it's an 89 and they won't do it unless it over 30 years old. So I guess I'll keep shopping. But when I was working the truck a couple times the insurance just asked me what u valued it at approximately. And I told them $20,000.00 and they went with that. But if the unthinkable happens you are best to have an appraisal and have it agreed upon in writing with the insurance that way you won't get bent over. They have to hold good to the appraised value of the truck.

Mack used Can/Am, Alumi-Bunk and Mik-Mak Bunks on Trucks sold in Canada.

Very nice! Lots of room to work. I love it I've almost always worked in cramped quarters or outside. That's my dream maybe someday to have a big shop. For now my little one works just fine.

I just have the 1 tank and it's a split primary/secondary tank. I'll measure it for you later but I can tell you it's about the same diameter as a Superliner 2 tank but shorter than the Superliner tank that's what I bought it for but found a set of Superliner aluminum tanks after. It will be a bit lwider and longer than you MH tank they're pretty short.

Sorry I only had the rear cut off from the truck and the pieces of the rails went to the scrap a long time ago, because I put the air ride under my Superluner and I fabricated 2 Crossmembers more like new way ones and went with the 2piece the rest of the way through the frame.thats why I still have the CH ones .
