| Used truck body parts? Hey guys, my dad recently bought 4 2006 International 8600 daycabs. He's pretty happy with the trucks but they're long framed beasts (167") with over 4' between the back of the cab and the trailer. They have air shields on top but no fairing or cab extenders on the sides. He'd like to add fairing to them to cut down the gap some, but would perfer to avoid buying new at the dealership. Anyone know of truck salvage yards in the midwest that might have 4 sets of these for a decent price? Thanks  |

| Any luck finding your parts? Could you tell us a little bit about what your dad hauls with the trucks? How many he owns? |

They've got fairing for one 8600, he's gonna buy that one and keep hunting for 3 more sets. He's hoping this will improve fuel mileage. The 8600's so far have barely gotten 6mpg and we think its mostly due to the gap being too big. His previous trucks (2003 international 9200's) got 8mpg+ hauling the same loads. Dad's a US Mail Contractor, hauling mail for the USPS. He's got 2 9200 internationals and 4 8600s, all day cabs. The USPS supplies the trailers. My uncle and I are in the same business. My uncle has 11 trucks contracted to the USPS, I've just got one so far. I tried working for dad for awhile... but ya know how workin for family goes. I ended up buying one of his trucks and getting my own contract. |

| if anyone knows of anywhere else within a few hour drive of southern IL that might have side and top fairings for international 8600 please let me know. Preferably complete with brackets and hardware. The dealer wants close to 3 grand for new parts, and that doesnt include hardware. |

you happen to no the name of it, I didnt find much with google. Seems salvage isnt a industry that has made it to the internet yet, not many of these places have websites and the ones that do are just a phone number and address. |
