Av8r3400 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'd like to find a square or two of the OEM Volvo frame cover grate material. Does anyone have any of these squares laying around unused after building a bed?

Sculptor Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just for comparison, maybe too pricey. A local salvage yard would be cheaper I bet. http://www.frontiertruckparts.com/parts/search?partType=651&condition=&make=&model=&keywords=&page=6 Kevin and June 2013 Volvo VNL 730 D13 Eco-Torque @ 425 Ratio 2.47 2014 DRV 36TKSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8r3400 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Wow, Kevin. That's absolutely insane. For that kind of money I can buy a sheet of diamond plate and make my own cover.

Hmmm, Makes me wonder what other goodies you have laying around. For that kind of money I can buy a sheet of diamond plate and make my own cover. LOL, diamond plate - with real diamonds. I gues "maybe too pricey" was understated a bit. Kevin and June 2013 Volvo VNL 730 D13 Eco-Torque @ 425 Ratio 2.47 2014 DRV 36TKSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad died in '06, and we bought the shop and surrounding buildings from Mom. All those buildings had become the depository for the whole family (8 kids) for a long time, because things were too good to pitch. Now I'm making regular trips to the recycling yard with trailer loads of steel, stainless, aluminum, etc, not to mention the roll-off dumpsters for other stuff. For instance, there were 6 used tune-up kits for a 1980 pick up, that dad sold in '87. A five gallon bucket of used spark plugs. A full pickup load of scraps of wire. So yes, there are a few gems hiding in the weeds..................

I could use a few generic truck parts like rear fenders, but actually shipping them is always bad news. We don't get to Cincinnati ever, but I might have a friend coming thru for the holidays. It was just a random thought. Kevin and June 2013 Volvo VNL 730 D13 Eco-Torque @ 425 Ratio 2.47 2014 DRV 36TKSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a reason to get away from the in-laws. I'm a Nebraska farm boy I cant stand just sitting around all the time. You can buy deck plates online. They are fairly cheap. Ebay. Heck you can even get them on Amazon. Farmer, Trucker, Equipment operator, Mechanic Quando omni flunkus moritati-When all else fails, play dead I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
