  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 .

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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 .
