Superliner step mounts

[leversole]

Are these factory step mounts? Or homemade? Were all superliners the same or are there many styles?

[2stacksuperdog]

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.

[Superdog]

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 .

[Vladislav]

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]

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]

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!

Leslie,

If you are talking round tanks like on my MH, the step brackets are:

32QM4133M - upper

32QM4134M - lower

32QM2511M - step anchor

85QM4192M13 - step (910mm x 116mm)

Ref. Fuel Tank Step Arrangement 29QM491P2

Thanks Ken...yours look just like mine...Based on the comments, the CH steps must be a little different....

[farmer52]

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.

I have 2 upper brackets Leslie, new never used for super liner, may have 4 I will ck if you want them, my # is 914 474-7383, Dominick my brackets are for the upper step that slide behind the strap and support the step.

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.

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

I often thought of getting Stainless ones made up and weldem right to the Straps

Thats how the superliner 1s are

[farmer52]

Are these brackets welded to the straps?

[gearhead204]

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

Leslie the VIN on my CH is 1M2AA12Y6LW005100

[rsb502]

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]

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.

[leversole]

Thanks for the VIN David!

[rsb502]

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.
