leversole Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Are these factory step mounts? Or homemade? Were all superliners the same or are there many styles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Our superliner and most others ive seen have this L shape looking bracket that goes behind trap and then the step sits on top of it and you bolt it to it. The superliner 1s had a different style that was a better design then the new style. Never seen yours. 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That looks homemade. Do yourself a favor and go with CH step mounts,not only are the stronger,the bottom step will stick out a little farther,making climbing out a little better,in my opinion. If your foots ever slipped on a wet bottom step and scraped your shin,you will understand . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Are CH ones similar with any Freightshaker or IH of the modern days?I want to fit something like that onto MH tanks, there's a lot of non-Mack branded stuff overhere.

BAD DOG Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yeah Superliner 2 step brackets are L shaped. And I believe Superliner 1 brackets are part of the stainless strap. I have to agree with Superdog and go with CH brackets. I put them on mine years ago only thing I had to do is trim about 3/4" off the bottom ones so they don't hang out too far past the wheels they work good and are much heavier.

leversole Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Anybody got a part number or serial number for a CH with the type you all are talking about? I hate to go to the "Mack" counterman with a serial number! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leversole Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Thanks Ken...yours look just like mine...Based on the comments, the CH steps must be a little different.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Leslie,The step mount you originally posted does not look like what is on the MH. I too would like to see the CH mounts. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah I concur, I'm planning to replace my straps,brackets and steps with those from a CH/Granite. I like the look of the old style but the new ones are nice and it keeps your boots further away from the tank so less scratches.

mack mhe9 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I bought new ones about 3 years age for the RW and black coating only lasted about a year then they looked just like the ones I took off. So strip and paint or coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back In Black Pulling Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I often thought of getting Stainless ones made up and weldem right to the Straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Are these brackets welded to the straps? Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 guys am I thinking right (now don't be that way!) didn't a R late 80's value liner have the same step arrangement, but with a welded bracket to the tank strap or am I thinking international or fright shaker?

My dads friends 81? RWS has brackets welded to the straps. Seems like a way better design then the new style 2 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Most of the stainless CH,Vision, Pinnacle, granite straps have brackets welded to them, some have them riveted but I rarely see that version. The newer stainless straps have a better connection where the t bolt fits in the end of the strap too.

mack mhe9 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Just asking. Are the frame brakets the same? Remember look at a newer mack for the stainless brakets and thinking that to use the newer staps you would have to change everything.

rsb502 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 there are p/n's for both t bolt style and pin on style for the new straps, jsut measure your length and get the corresponding strap style, (t bolt both ends or t bolt one end) and you should be golden.
