Need a upper trailer fairing mount/support tube for 2006 Volvo 780

Recommended Posts

My left upper trailer fairing mount/support tube is badly rusted and in need of replacement. If anyone has or knows where I can find one of these, I would be most grateful.  There are no good wrecking yards near me. I will be at the ECR this year if anyone has an opportunity to pick up this part at their local yard. Thanks in advance.   Charlie Lord

Charlie, there is a HDT graveyard near RV's For Less in Knoxville. That is roughly an hour's ride away and I'm sure that Carl knows where it is. If not, I can get you there as well. The company is John Story Truck and Equipment.

Try giving them a call and see if they have what you need.

David and Carl, thanks for your leads. I will call John Story and B&B.   All you have to do is ask and you guys come through, pronto ! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the ECR.    Charlie:lol:

I was looking at the upper supports, as mine are rusty as well, I could tell that it is just tubing, bent, flattened on the ends and drilled.

I will be purchasing the appropriate tubing and just cut , form and drill my own using the original rusty ones as templates.

Hi Charlie,

Your repair just might fit into one of the seminars. A real show and tell. Maybe a how to also.
