    From Frightliner back to Freightliner. I love all those period bits like the wing mirrors and the air deflector.

    James, I love that tractor. She is beautiful. I am kind of afraid of cab overs. A friend of mine was killed in one. I am a conventional truck lover. I love the nice being out in front of me. Cab overs are scary. I love that freightliner. I was watching you give her a bath and the name phantom came to mind. I love watching your videos. Thank you showing them on you tub. From a friend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Keep on trucking and restoring the classics.....

    Fld120 without the doubt is one of the best truck models was ever built in US. Specially the one with detroit 60. I have a 97 model and i love it, still usjng it as an OTR truck.

  • @charlesferebee263
    @charlesferebee263 Год назад +1

    Damn. 12 turned out really well. Another project that might not be really high dollar to get road ready. As far as aluminum wheels. You could always keep steel wheels on the inside and just put aluminum on the outside. That would save some money. That truck would look good without the top and side deflectors. I drove that exact truck. Only dark blue and Cummins powered. Nice flattop truck. Keep Up the Great Work. 🇺🇸👍 STAY SAFE. !

    The old girl cleaned up nicely. You could save some cash on wheels and keep the back rims on the truck. I'd just give them a fresh coat of white paint and polish the aluminum wheels up front. She looks good with the wheels on it now, they just need some TLC.

    Hey hey Jimmy!
    That old gal cleaned up real nice!
    Was that black mould on it?
    As for the wheels. I’d sand blast the steel rims on the back and grab a few rattle cans of
    gloss white Tremclad paint. It’s cheap and it does hold up to the road very well.
    It may not look the best but for a fleet truck it keeps the cost down and it really does look nice. I don’t mind the look of those steel rims when they are white.
    It doesn’t have to be a show truck right now but once it starts making money then you can do whatever you want.
    It costs a lot of money to start this business up and you are doing a great job at it but you have to cut some corners in order to be a real successful business operator.
    Keep doin it!
