    You are right. That Astro is made of many different parts. Cab lights dont match, Wrong grab handles for that vintage. Im not sure from the angle but i dont think thats the correct battery box. Intresting truck. Would like to walk around it and see just what they built.

    Yes that's me and my Cruiseliner's.

    I know that truck. 8Vp2, 9 Spd, came from Westmoreland, N.H.?

    A 320late cat. A 237 Maxidyne would stomp that with a half plugged fuel filter.

    I think the air ride cab was an option. Both of mine are owner installed. I bought one out of a junk yard 5 years ago. They defintely do help the ride but more importantly save the cab.

    WOW!!! Thats incredible. I have a 80 Cruiseliner also, good for parts. It does run and drive. Has P.S. and air ride cab. Both Cruiseliners have air ride cab. Nice find you have for sure. Take care of it and enjoy it.

    Yes and yes. The 83 Cruiseliner is kinds special. It is a true barn find, sat 25 years and had 196,00 miles. Level 3 interior, air ride, E9, dual exhaust

    If ya like Cruiseliners, check out You Tubes the Boston Trucker videos. He did a 2 part video on the Cabover Kings. 2 of my Cruiseliners are seen

    Movie Stroker Ace with Burt Reynolds use's a Cruiseliner to haul around their race cars. Nice looking truck. All Aluminum wheels and dual exhaust. Always like those scenes

    I too, was hopeing that someone with knowledge would chime in here and help out.

    Yes the MH is the Ultraliner, which came out in 82 or 83. The Cruiseliner came out in 76 and ran thru 83. The F model ceased production in 81. The Ultraliner replaced the F model. And yes the Cruiseliner is a WS model. The Cruiseliner is a westcoast design and built there until 81. The last 3 years of the WS Cruiseliner were built in Pa. Same cab but very different interior and had a Grilldenser off the Superliner. Where as the westcoast built Cruiseliners just had a stamped grill. IS that about as clear as mud? Hopefully that sheds some light on the subject

    How so? Cruiseliner came out in 76, Ultraliner came out in 82 or 83. I'm eager to learn so correct me if i am wrong.
  15. ws721
    The MH Ultraliner came out in 82, had round headlights. They replaced the F model which ended in 81. Prior to 84 the Ultraliner was a limited production truck

    Got into a discussion the other day with a friend who says that Superliners only had axle mounted steering boxes for 2 years. I always thought that All Superliners, not Superliner II square headlights and air ride cabs, had the axle mounted steering box. Wasnt until the Superliner II came out in 85 that they had the same front clip as a MH Ultraliner with frame mounted steering box. Where as the Superliner, round headlights and no air ride cab used a front clip from the Cruiseliner. Im sure there are those reading this who will enlighten me if i am incorrect.

    As mentioned earlier by others, check the U joints, thats the simpliest task. Then go into the box on shift tower. Chances are its worn in there. They get worn and then sloppy. I did tach weld the gear to the shaft as the the keyway would not stay tight. That is a last resort though. I've owned and run F models, Cruiseliners and MH's, they all had there good and bad points. I think the Cruiseliner shift linkage, when in good order, has the best feel to it when shifting. Just my opinion

    Completley different set up in a Cruiseliner
  19. ws721
    The more i think about it maybe the Cat powered MH's are a 653. Guess i should leave the facts to those who know.
  20. ws721
    If it was a Cummins it should be a MH 633 if memory serves correctly. I think the MH 643 was Cat powered. 603 was a glider and 623 was Detriot power. But i have been known to be wrong before

    I'd like to have both trucks. I have an addiction problem. Guess thats why between my brother and i we own 22 Cabovers. Maybe i should have taken up drinking instead😄

    Thank you. After more cleaning it needs a whole floor. So thats the next step.
  23. ws721
    Are the Floor sheet metal still available for RD?
  24. ws721
    Also could get the "Purple Monster" Allis Chalmers engine in a Mack
