Title: Need Eagle Parts Info New or Used
Post by: Bus Busted on May 30, 2012, 11:52:23 AM
I know the best place to get this info is on the Eagle site, but I know this one far better so I'll start here. When I started with my 1st bus I just ordered the parts straight from MCI as I was told by this board (Good price and fast shipping I was happy). But now that I'm in an Eagle I need to ask again. So lets start with what I need. The little strut things that keep the side doors up, the ones that keep the rear engine door up, Side reflector hooked to bumper, side running light with plug and glass cap (red). Lug nut covers (the ones from the truckstop are not the same and look cheap).

Now for an after market part ~ I read somewhere on here that there is a side window that fits into the area left by that factory window with almost no modification. If I'm right it has a sliding glass and a screen. I think I need one for an Eagle Model 10, but have been told my Eagle is not totally stock by those on this board so I'll include a picture, but from web searching it looks like my side windows are the same.

I make a few runs (10 this year) between Indianapolis and Nashville. So if this puts me close to someone or someplace with parts that would be great. Thanks, Jon

Bus Services in Sharon KS (John) and Jefferson Bus (Ed) in Ok City will have the lights if just the center is broke in the reflectors buy the center from a auto parts those are a 2 piece reflector the square piece you will buy from the above mentioned.

The window you will need to have made from Peninsula in WA $$ he won't have one for your Eagle they are not the same as the regular model 10 Eagle, the lug nut covers I never saw any made or for sale just for a Eagle check at a truck chrome shop not a fuel stop

good luck

   Check the eagles site for the door struts. I know I read about them in a post so you might pull it up on a search. I just ran a search on eagles & there's plenty of info. available. Suspra is mentioned quite a bit.

go to spd hardware for your struts and a lot of other stuff you might need. They will get what you need for about half the price of the guy on e-bay

hope this helps
