Oh my lord!!!! What have you done? That does not look like anything that belongs on the road let alone being leased to Landstar. Good luck, you're going to need it.
I still have my very first truck. It’s a ‘96 flat top FLD I bought in ‘98. I put 2.5 million on it myself. It was a great truck for me. It wouldn’t take a lot of cash, and you’re interior panels already need replaced. Do yourself a favor and do a lot of extra insulating on the interior. Mine is super quiet inside. We added sound deadening insulation everywhere and replaced the interior body panels. I also had spray insulation added to the firewall and the bottom of the truck. It stays warm in the winter. Cool in the summer and is super quiet going down the road. Mine is very comfortable to drive. It’s got a lot more leg room than any newer truck. Also, I’d recommend making sure the doors close properly. Mine required new door hinges and I added new door seals. Mine doesn’t leak air around the doors like most old FLD’s do. None of that cost me very much but it made the truck a lot nicer to drive.
Tell me more about that spray insulation. I have a 1999 century that needs interior work. Not as bad as some that I've seen, but for a $7K truck I can't complain 😂
@@vroor32 I wish I could. It was a mobile guy that I paid to do it. There were two tanks of liquid. It was mixed st the gun. He taped off everything we didn’t want covered. The underside of the truck and the firewall cost about $400 in 2000. I don’t remember the guys name, the name of the product or anything. A mechanic I used at the time told me about him and set it up. That mechanic has passed away, so I can’t even ask him. It sure did quiet the truck down, though. The insulation is pink. I thought about doing it to another truck I had, but didn’t have the contact info for the guy. I’d decided to just use something I could install myself. Then I sold that truck to my Dad and I never did it. I’m sure there something on line about insulating trucks better.
That truck looks so rough, but remember, the only thing standing between you and success is your own perseverance. Push forward one part at a time and a couple of hundred miles per day, and don't give up. Nothing is impossible, but giving up every time you start something sets you back further.
I knew it!!! This is easy to do. I owned one for 20 years miss that truck. If it’s has the legendary 12.7 Detroit . You have an ace in the hole with Tim Gentry…he knows everything about the Detroit.
I really like FLD s. But that thing is rough. The guy you bought it from was a HACK or whoever he got it from is. You really need to hunt down a parts truck. The grille and the stacks would be at the top of my list. Then I'd go after the interior hardcore. Like I said a parts truck might be your best option for dash/ interior parts. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. I think once you get it sorted out you will love it. The good news is you can make it exactly how you want it. I think it's gonna be tough for the first little while till you get back to where it needs to be. All in all I'm happy for you.
Don't get me wrong brother. I'm not bashing it all. I just think your gonna have to stay on it for a while. You seem motivated so I'm pretty sure you'll get that girl back tip top. Oh one last thing she needs a NAME!!!!! You can't drive a truck without a name. I always give mine a woman's name. LoL.
Takes a lot of courage to do what you’re doing. As long as your power train is good, the cosmetic stuff will work out slowly and you’ll have the show truck you want. Just take your time with the cosmetic stuff and best of luck with the new truck. 👍
You remember that scene when brian Oconner brought the POS toyota to dom toretto? They turned it into a super car. man forget these haters. All things are possible through Christ. Shalom shalom brother
That will be a great looking truck when you get it done. As long as it’s running good to get you up and down the road everything else will fall in place
I so respect your reality check decision. A very prudent decision. You have just empowered your new business to thrive. The bonus is you get to restore a great truck in your style.
Congratulations on your deal going through. That being said, this truck looks rough! I've seen others rebuild an entire truck but not while running it and trying to make money. Good luck and God bless.
Prayers on your new journey. God bless and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 It's admirable that you step out on faith to do what you feel is right for your family and business. Stay strong.
Dude, nice ride man! I can see the vision in it! That's gonna be one sweet ride! I got mad respect for anyone that actually puts on the parachute and jumps. Takes a lot of courage, I pray you don't hit to many rocks before the chute opens for you 🙏
Finally you are on your way. She is going to need a lot of work but you can do it. Take it one day at a time. Can't wait to see her after a the work is done so I can give her a name. Miss Black Beauty.
I’ve got a parts truck identical with a great interior we ain’t gonna do nothing with. The truck got hit on the drivers side but a lot of good parts left. It’s in western NC right off I-40
Good luck and definitely be careful of the choices you make when purchasing cash equipment FLD’s are some of the greatest Freightliners ever built when kept in pristine conditions. It’s truly hard to rebuild a truck at the same time as working it when your livelihood depends on the income. Possibly keep running the other unit and get it all sorted out while not having to work it especially if you’re otr and not home everyday
If ya gonna take the faring off slide the fuel tanks back and move batteries to step box like a classic. If you go back with a reg bed etc on bottom bunk.. just a idea I always kept 10 gal water under bed and extra hose and clamps incase ya blow a hose etc I learned after it happened to me and no water in site..
I’d say get the engine rebuilt, the transmission rebuilt and the diffs rebuilt before making it into a show/work truck to ensure mechanically she’ll be solid while you start dressing her up for the ball. Looking forward to seeing this new chapter of yours and I’m rooting for your future successes brother.
That's what I would say too. Get all the mechanical things done first along with lights, tires and wheels and so on. The air breathers on the outside would be great. Get the lighted ones. Some train horns would sound awesome too.
Hope you got a really good price on that truck. Hope the cost fixing it up works in your favor. Almost seems like it was in an accident the way all the front is worked on in some areas and not in others. Hope you don't get any static from DOT. I know you have the drive to succeed and this truck will be amazing in the end with your work and dedication to it.
Congrats bro. Make that truck your own. Since you live in Texas fixing that truck will be no problem! Looking forward to seeing that new bad ass paint job.
Definitely got some work ahead of you but congratulations! It’s yours and your dream so push it to the fullest. You never know if you never try! Positive vibes from Texas! Stay safe and continued blessings 🙏
I remember now, you was in the yard changing trailers and you walked around it. You said thats a ñice truck and the driver had done the grill. Then pointed out that stack saying still needs a bit doing to it yet 😁😁👌. Howard 🇬🇧
Definitely a Money Pit: you could’ve taken that money you put into that money pit and went to Wasatch Leasing and got you a much better deal on a used truck or brand new one…… good luck on making any money with that Jaloppy! Good Luck!
To be honest, when I saw that dash, I was kinda hoping you bought that FLB in the intro, and I got a little excited, there's not enough cabovers in the US. As for buying the truck, there is absolutely nothing wrong with buying old trucks mate, they just cost money to make nice. But they are also considerably easier to fix and maintain. Personally, I'd see about getting an XL hood for that FLD and in my opinion I'd swap out the detroit for a cat, especially if you don't like cummins, I have never met a detroit I've liked, but you do you. External breathers would look good I agree with you on that one, and a ton of lights everywhere. Colour will be a big choice too, especially with all that chrome I assume is coming. Before you paint it though, some advice here from an old mechanic, make sure you go through every inch of that cabin and properly seal and waterproof it, I don't know what they are like in the US, but over here they have a tendancy to leak pretty bad. That is quite the project though mate, it's going to be a lot of work! Good luck and I'm looking forward to watching the progress..
🎉 congratulations You will do great once you get the kinks out I’m excited for you and your family congratulations again. Thank you for your videos they are going to help me in my journey and landstar debut keep up the work.
I worked at a Petro in Elkton Md doing PM services and loved doing the Detroits oil filter (2) LF-3620 (1) FF-5206 (1) FF-5207 and (1) AF-1968 can remember the water filter
Happy for you Bro! It’s a bit of work but the gratification will come once you make it yours with everything you have planned 💪🏽 congratulations to you and your family alllll the way from NC!
You have a ton of work to do,God bless ya, are you planning on driving that to pull loads while you're fixing it? Whoever had that thing doesn't look like they took good care of it
Great Project Truck esp with the Detroit. Forget going home, straight to Blue Beacon acid the heck of that paint, SH Tube for some chrome, Timmy Gentry for once over then to Jacksonville to let AK Trucker help you with in interior 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats! I like it. Good choice. Pre emissions with no truck notes. You can find parts super easy for it and at decent prices. You should really get in contact with Chasing Andrew Jackson as well. He has plenty of contacts and info he can share with you from building the $15,000 flat top(I think his is a 2007 FLD) himself.
Man Shymon, that thing is rougher than a night in a Tijuana jail. I hope the dude didn't rake you over the coals on it. Be prepared for DOT to stop you every chance they get until you get it looking better. I would start hitting up truck salvage yards and try to find a complete interior. They usually sell that stuff pretty reasonable. Good luck with the project!
FLD …. You reminded mine…. I used to call her “ always fixing small issue truck” … if you wanna drive FLD in 2024, you better be mechanically inclined and have snap-on tool in your truck… Pros 1 it’s cash and pre emissions truck 2 good first truck and learn how to replace things truck ( I can replace my turbo and injector kinda truck ) Cons You either driving or fixing some sort of leak.😅 good luck bro. We all been there.. Advise Start saving asap for your next 75k range cash truck.
Pittsburgh power is going to be your friend. Get a ops( oil bypass filter) asap. I’m super pumped for you! The fld and 60 series is one of the best trucks ever made. I wish I was closer so I could help build.
@docholiday1034 yea i hope not. I wouldnt have bought a truck in that condition to try n go make money with it right away. Id be clinching my wallet while i drive lol.. That needs to be parked up for a little while n gone thru before it sees the road.
Congratulations but sheesh that sucks man you couldn't catch a break at all... And I KNEW IT it was going to be that truck lol I would definitely love to own a fld myself
Best of luck. I know how you feel but you will need bank,credit etc to SCALE any business but I get what you saying. Hope the truck last a good month or two before you have to put money in it. Salute
PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON THE MECHANICAL REPAIRS BEFORE COSMETICS. that truck has clearly been in some sort of accident. SAFETY FIRST! CHECK THE BULL GEAR AND COVER. check oil pressure at idle with the engine over 180 degrees. Good luck bruh!
Find you a nice junk yard. And go to work that style truck parts are cheap and you don’t have to worry about the truck throwing crazy codes. Good Luck Land star see you on the road.
Hey congrats. My next truck is going to be the freight liner classic xlt. I am in Houston for a few days. What was the name of that parts store that’s helping you customize your new truck
I would put a cool one-arm chrome hood bug mirror on passenger side and remove the driver side bug mirror. You don't really need the driver side bug mirror
Congratulations on getting your own truck finally please give that thing a bath degrees it is white we don't want to be looking at handprints and Dot don't want to be looking at handprints that's just a way for you to get Dragged In get an inspection you're better than that brother brother please get her to Bath
Wished you would’ve bought hat will running the other truck for month and did a few things to it first. But you here now. Hood ya cheeks and pedal down bra. The first 5,10k you you get PUT in truck. Oil sample I’m sure you did already. It hey 9k dllr truck you’ll b GOOd. Just make it and dump it in truck so by summer you GOOD! Boss ish!
Congratulations on your new endeavor!!!! 🥳🤠 Possible names for the truck: 1) Deception; as in looking can be deceiving. 2) Living the dream: Ask Zeke Dawg about a truck with this, or a version of this name, in one of his videos. Now, about that ugly? I say unique grill. Keep a vision (small vision) of that grill as a reminder of where your dream of truck ownership started and where the truck is in a year, five years, ten years. OK 😮💨, it hurts me to say this buttttt check with JustRUclips, I mean JustTruckin, for design ideals for the new grill. I remember him saying that he used to make grills. I wish you and the family ALL the best wishing. You’ve got this. Stay safe.
I don’t see how that truck ever passed a landstar inspection. Good luck to u. You gonna need it. You could have bought a w9 or 389 for half what you gonna have in that one just to get it road worthy.
I hope you can make some money with it first before you start spending out. My opinion people do what they want, it would've been use as a local truck maybe pulling containers, logs home every day with my family not "OTR" at the end of the day good luck wishing you and your family nothing but blessings 😎💪🏾🙏🏾💰
How did you install your ELD on your FLD & which company do you use with landstar? Looking to lease on but I didn’t know if my 99 FLD would be able to use ELD
Hey to me I love your fld it got potential it sounds really good and you have no truck payment that good I would put the dot number on the tool door compartment but it is up to you 😊😊😊 enjoy your truck and probably know this used Stanley blade to paint on the sun roof enjoy your video😊
Nice purchase! Some ppl dnt see the vision & possibilities of an older truck..typically blinded by newer trucks. Get her done one project at a time.
Oh my lord!!!! What have you done? That does not look like anything that belongs on the road let alone being leased to Landstar. Good luck, you're going to need it.

You will have to get a couple of big orange cones so don’t get creamed while parked on the shoulder Write genius at work on them.

Great project will be fun watching you build it.
I’m definitely interested to see how this works out for you man, cause they didn’t treat that truck nice at all

Godspeed! And
Happy Shifting!
Thanks for joining brotha 💪🏾
Congratulations on your new adventure with different truck. I've been looking at some freightliner fld trucks.
I wish you the best of luck on the new journey.
You wanted to build a truck up yourself and you sure got one. Gentry will get that engine tuned up, let SHQ fix up the outside.....lights, grill....
You have a ton of work to do,God bless ya, are you planning on driving that to pull loads while you're fixing it? Whoever had that thing doesn't look like they took good care of it
YES
I LIKE IT BRO SOME PEOPLE DONT KNOW WHAT YOU TRYING TO DO KEEP MOVE TO Greatness all your Rangers and rangerettes do be bless congratulations🎉🎉
Ain't nothing like a old truck. It just needs some love that's all. It will come out nice I'm sure.
Great Project Truck esp with the Detroit. Forget going home, straight to Blue Beacon acid the heck of that paint, SH Tube for some chrome, Timmy Gentry for once over then to Jacksonville to let AK Trucker help you with in interior 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats! I like it. Good choice. Pre emissions with no truck notes. You can find parts super easy for it and at decent prices. You should really get in contact with Chasing Andrew Jackson as well. He has plenty of contacts and info he can share with you from building the $15,000 flat top(I think his is a 2007 FLD) himself.
Glad you got your truck. Can't wait to see all the work you will do on it
I like the white steering wheel
This would be a could time to wire in some lights on the back of the sleeper to light up the trailer at night before enclosing the inside.
Definitely a good move. It will cost money just to get it running like you want but better in the long run
I knew it it sounds like it runs real good can’t wait to see the journey ✌️
Man Shymon, that thing is rougher than a night in a Tijuana jail. I hope the dude didn't rake you over the coals on it. Be prepared for DOT to stop you every chance they get until you get it looking better. I would start hitting up truck salvage yards and try to find a complete interior. They usually sell that stuff pretty reasonable. Good luck with the project!
FLD …. You reminded mine…. I used to call her “ always fixing small issue truck” … if you wanna drive FLD in 2024, you better be mechanically inclined and have snap-on tool in your truck…
Pros
1 it’s cash and pre emissions truck
2 good first truck and learn how to replace things truck ( I can replace my turbo and injector kinda truck )
Cons
You either driving or fixing some sort of leak.😅 good luck bro. We all been there..
Advise
Start saving asap for your next 75k range cash truck.
New here and it's going to be a nice ride when your done. Good ol fld has plenty of room and ol gentry he will make that Detroit run lol
Pittsburgh power is going to be your friend. Get a ops( oil bypass filter) asap. I’m super pumped for you! The fld and 60 series is one of the best trucks ever made. I wish I was closer so I could help build.
Look like You done bought you a money pit my boy😮
U don't know about truckin 😅
@Super29Vegas oh trust me i know about trucking.
Yep
@docholiday1034 yea i hope not. I wouldnt have bought a truck in that condition to try n go make money with it right away. Id be clinching my wallet while i drive lol.. That needs to be parked up for a little while n gone thru before it sees the road.
This guy has a lot to learn about trucking, but I guess he will learn all about it in real time, I wish him best.
Let me say this, it takes alot of courage to step out on faith and make a huge decision. I pray that everything works out for you.
Congratulations but sheesh that sucks man you couldn't catch a break at all... And I KNEW IT it was going to be that truck lol I would definitely love to own a fld myself
Cash is king. You got some work to do on the old girl; but I'm sure it'll be fantastic when it's done
Definitely a truck to build up. I'm sure it will be a great show truck after you put a lot of money and hard work into it.
I prefer the side skirts on for aerodynamics, plus it flows better. I’m looking forward to watching you transform it
Good model got a 97 myself 12.7 15 speed a great money maker trust me
Best of luck. I know how you feel but you will need bank,credit etc to SCALE any business but I get what you saying. Hope the truck last a good month or two before you have to put money in it. Salute
Negative minded people have fear of others strength because they are so weak! Faith and patience 🙏
That’s what’s up they paved the back. When I came through it was a dirt lot in the back.
Bummer! Best of luck! Buying any truck is like trying to find a good wife! Haha
hahahaha
PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON THE MECHANICAL REPAIRS BEFORE COSMETICS. that truck has clearly been in some sort of accident. SAFETY FIRST! CHECK THE BULL GEAR AND COVER. check oil pressure at idle with the engine over 180 degrees. Good luck bruh!
Find you a nice junk yard. And go to work that style truck parts are cheap and you don’t have to worry about the truck throwing crazy codes. Good Luck Land star see you on the road.
I like it I can hear the motor and Jake no more constant engine fan !
Good move...u have a growing Family...u need to be home more often...time flies...no truck payment
Hey congrats. My next truck is going to be the freight liner classic xlt. I am in Houston for a few days. What was the name of that parts store that’s helping you customize your new truck
Their link is in my description.
It’s EXpress Truck Parts and Chrome on N Wayside.
I would put a cool one-arm chrome hood bug mirror on passenger side and remove the driver side bug mirror. You don't really need the driver side bug mirror
Looks like a labor of love
Good luck it will be fine . Also when you have no payment each month it’s a huge bonus. You will start making proper wages 🚚🏴

Sh tube and gentry 😆 they can help get the grill off one of my favorite trucks i drive was a 92 fld 120 make it your own. You be all right .
Congratulations on your new endeavor!!!! 🥳🤠 Possible names for the truck: 1) Deception; as in looking can be deceiving. 2) Living the dream: Ask Zeke Dawg about a truck with this, or a version of this name, in one of his videos. Now, about that ugly? I say unique grill. Keep a vision (small vision) of that grill as a reminder of where your dream of truck ownership started and where the truck is in a year, five years, ten years. OK 😮💨, it hurts me to say this buttttt check with JustRUclips, I mean JustTruckin, for design ideals for the new grill. I remember him saying that he used to make grills. I wish you and the family ALL the best wishing. You’ve got this. Stay safe.
I worked for shaffer trucking in carlisle pa that blue under hood look like the color of their trucks or the parent company sunflower
When you got round to the grill and asked for ideas, Justin used to make them
Wink,wink😉😁
I don’t see how that truck ever passed a landstar inspection. Good luck to u. You gonna need it. You could have bought a w9 or 389 for half what you gonna have in that one just to get it road worthy.
with the new freight liner are you going to put in a 18 speed gearbox and a proper grill on the front of the truck.?
Yessir 💪🏾
Hi LoneStar Texas Ranger and family
I hope you can make some money with it first before you start spending out. My opinion people do what they want, it would've been use as a local truck maybe pulling containers, logs home every day with my family not "OTR" at the end of the day good luck wishing you and your family nothing but blessings 😎💪🏾🙏🏾💰
No eld for 2000 fld big dog, congrats on your new truck best of luck moving forward‼️
Tht truck told you from the beginning not to buy it why would you buy a truck to put your earnings back into it but good luck you are going to need it
How did you install your ELD on your FLD & which company do you use with landstar? Looking to lease on but I didn’t know if my 99 FLD would be able to use ELD
When you take your truck to orientation, they’ll install it for you. I’m using Motive.
Hey to me I love your fld it got potential it sounds really good and you have no truck payment that good I would put the dot number on the tool door compartment but it is up to you 😊😊😊 enjoy your truck and probably know this used Stanley blade to paint on the sun roof enjoy your video😊
Congratulations on your moving up and great looking truck
Same truck and same year best truck you could ever ask bro. Easy to fix and to deal with this truck
You REALLY have your work cut out for you this time, good luck and be safe!
Happy for you bro keep pushing
If you can find the pieces leave those 3/4 fairings on there they look good if they r fixed
God bless! And good luck!🙏

Dude polish and keep the grill. Just puts a new screen behind it. The grill has character
