Need Help Locating Middle Faring Piece


SuiteSuccess

Recommended Posts

As my truck was being towed to shop the passenger side middle chassis tank fairing blew off and got destroyed.  Looking for the piece shown by the arrow in the pic.  It is 65” visible, 69” with piece that tucks behind front step.  I’ve tried VanderHaag and others with no success yet.  Any help?9LYffnrl.jpg

Another question.  I found the piece by the highway and it was scuffed, had several cracks, and a small section missing.  Could a good paint and body shop plastic weld the cracks and fabricate a small piece to fill in the gap and plastic weld in place?  Alternatively I can buy a new 53” piece and could a shop cut out a piece of my old, insert, and plastic weld to get desired length?

The plastic is likely Metton or a similar type.    They can be bonded but, the labor to do that would exceed the cost of a replacement?    This stuff is not like car plastic that can be hot melt fused, you need bonding strips at the splice and the adhesive is over 200.00 a tube alone.

I know where there are a couple older Volvo trucks. Won't be the same color, but I'll take a look at them and see what they have. Yours is a Gen 2 right? 2006 I see in your signature.

Yes Gen 2.  Rod those panels come in two sizes 53” and 72”.  Mine is the extended 72” panel.  volvo part #824870084.  Should be labeled on back side of panel.

I didn't get to check today, but will call one person tomorrow if I'm not able to run there tonight.

Good, because I was going to have to say it was a 1999 760 so it probably wouldn't have worked. Glad you found one.
