umodelnut Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hey guys, got a question here. On my U, where my battery boxes hook to the frame, the bracket things that hook on the frame that hold the boxes on, would there have been something on them? Because both passenger side ones, something has been choped off, and one on the drivers side has been choped. Any ideas what would have been there? Maybe a platform to stand on so you could stand up there and get at your air hoses?The first picture is the drivers side, and the two others are from the passenger side.

joes mack Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 looks like the original ones have rotted off and someone has made a set out of thicker metal. if you look at the 1st pic one is thicker than the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 By the first pic,it appears the brackets are different size. May have been replaced with shop cut material.Second pic shows channel facing the same way, 1st shows opposite.Erego, i feel they have been replaced at some time Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Vinny, those aren't the battery box brackets, they are the kickstand brackets."Kickstand" if mounted on the left. "Counterbalance" if mounted on the right. One of the "Uranus Corporation's" innovations vendored to Mack Trucks in the 1975 model year.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
