Joe Ditchkus Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think they are from the same owner Mike Harbison bought his Cruiseliner from. Joe D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think you are correct. Brian Schwind out of Wi. Nice trucks. Im not sure about the "eastcoast" grills in the "westcoast" trucks.

Superdog Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why 3?Cause I wish he still had the 1 I bought from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Cause I wish he still had the 1 I bought from him.Uh oh. I wont ask anymore questions. Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Uh oh. I wont ask anymore questions.I'm not saying all his trucks were this way,but this one sure wasn't the cream puff he and his mechanic told us it was. I think they had it tore down and slapped it together in a hurry to move it. Soon as I get someone to fix the windshield frame so I can put the new used windshield in,it will be ok to take to shows,like to sell it but have way to much in it . But it looks good !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 That's a shame. Sorry to hear that. I had the frame on mine repaired. Its holding up well. There was a Schwind Cruiseliner for sale in Fl next town over from our place. My father followed it and said it looked sharp from a distance. I wondered what he ment, maybe it wasn't so nice up close Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 According to KS the cruiseliners comming out of Allentown were decent compared to the original west coast varieties. But they were quickly replaced by the MH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alsothe cab looks older like a 75 or 76 with those directionalsOur '78's had those front mounted directional lights. That truck musta had some serious modifying,the model # shows it should have a 6V92 Detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Were those front mounted directional an option? I was thinking that model didn't relate to a Cummins. The interior appears to be decent Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
