scottwetzel Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 So over the years my original steps and brackets look like they have taken a beating. I'd just like to replace all the brackets and steps but last time I priced them out at Mack I could almost replace the truck!! Any suggestions?

Superdog Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I don't remember thecost,but I used the step brackets from a CH instead,they are heavier built,and the bottom one sticks out a little farther than the originals did,makes it a little nicer getting in and out of truck.

daveigou Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Depends on fuel tank diameter, I think the choices are 22" and 26". Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZB755V8 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Man, That is one small hacksaw to cut that tank in half, you are a master of hand tools, LOL I do have the newer steps on my RW and the tanks are 22" they look nicer and work better, best of all still have them at Mack but $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken you're right. That's what I was surprized of. And that small hacksaw was layed there just by chance. We used the lager one As for real my guy cut the tank with that small saw indeed because he was afraid a big BOOM using a grinder. He washed the tank with detergent 3 times but still preferred to be safe. It was good for the tank though. When he started on the other end he cut it off in a minute but almost together with the shoulder wich was welded inside. So 1 minute grinder cut turned out into 2 hours fixing.

bbigrig Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The last of the 90's Superdogs built used the CH fuel tank step brackets built out of Oakville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
