Mike Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I've been searching for a couple of air tanks for my B and every place I have called has gone brain dead on me. Have called Mack and they do not return calls. I went to an International truck dealer and no luck with them. I'd buy new tanks if people knew what an air tank was. I found a scrap yard for trucks and they want 75.00 a piece for them. Does this sound about right for used air tanks?THXmike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10655-air-tanks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure since we've gone INTERNATIONAL in this country on just about everything the ole B would forgive me eventually. Lately i've been treating it to some new bolts and nuts plus the g/f and I gave it a good bath and wax job. It's in its new garage with a bigger smile on its face this morning. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10655-air-tanks/#findComment-40957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Rider Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I think that air tanks are generic as far as who got what. I bought a "bad" tank for $9.00, that was the scap price. It had weld goober in the fittings. Ran a pipe tap in, painted it, and presto, new tank. Quote #1 on A-model registryIf I drink because of work, why can't I drink at work?
