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.
Well done James for two awesome trucks to the fleet , a little bit of TLC for two great trucks , I hope the International with the blue stripes is as quick as it looks on screen .
looking very good, boy i sure do love all the old steel you have in your collection. the cabovers are definitely my favorite. I cant wait to see the Marmon all fixed up defiantly a fine machine.
James I think a few more days of detail cleaning on truck # 12 it will be ready for a spring time truck show. You did a great job on making it presentable again! I’m looking forward to whatever is next for this truck. I enjoy the before and after look of any project.
James,I drove a Freightliner just like that one drove trucks 42 yrs.retired in 2017,that tractor is in fantastic shape,damn the farming looks absolutely good the paint looks good great find my man take care bud
wow james what a little t.l.c does for a beautiful truck it's amazing what you find under years of dirt , thank you and great work for bringing all those ole gals back to life
The truck looks new and it’s a good one keep up the good work by rescuing it from being scraped will love to see this beast pulling some loads can’t wait!!!!!!
Impressed with the quality of the paintwork. Hopefully you will repair any mechanical issue plus the rust , dents and cracks to a standard that it can be returned to service.
Just found ya and spent the day looking at your vids great vids and great entertainment seeing how you bring them back to life what you do im from the uk was a trucker for many a year in my late 80 s now so for me .I just love what you do.
James how you know i dont know write and speak english ...little beat..im happy i will go usa Denver omg..i see the snow omg..i cry happy...god bless usa and you and family..
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. !
Good video again man that FLD cleaned up pretty good good my friend man Tim sure was talking good about you on his video Tim is a good person be safe have a good night
12 cleaned pretty damn nice. Might even be nicer than 13 now. I see it needs the same lower fairing that mine does. Hope you have better luck finding one.
Good job James your going to have to hire drivers to support your habit. I think that's what Tim Gentry does some times! Every time he get another truck he hires a new driver. Thanks for the videos I really enjoy them.
Damn James you got a serious obsession. Every time I turn on a channel you got another truck. I did see you went down to see Timmy Gentry. I miss my FLD. Keep up the good work.
No 12 seems to be in rougher condition than 13, but I'm sure you'll get it looking presentable too. Man she was some dirty. Keep up the good work, we're behind you all the way.
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.
Boy that cleaned up nice. Hotsz always did make a great pressure washer. Yes wheels and tires can be pricey especially new ones but they’re a necessity when they go to work. Hopefully the hood repairs go good. Stay safe
Idk why but I really dig those small hole wheels on the steers. I’m sure they’ll look even better polished up. Can’t wait to see what comes of this one.
@@JamesPretty I personally don’t think the top piece looks bad but if you do take it off I think it’d look the best with some 6” straights running up next to the doors.
Nice truck James ! The fld 12 turned out real nice ! Seen you visit Gentry , that was cool , you liked the international cab over ehh ! Yours are nicer ! 👍🇨🇦
Very one looks good . Hopefully it’s time to start getting one by one all finished up from least to worsted. You’re doing and merry Christmas to you and your wife!
Wow you run 100 low lead in your hotsy good idea. You and I kind of done the same jobs I got an a&p worked for gold kist forestry out of Tifton GA worked on helicopters and now I drive dump trucks in the asphalt business.
Lol.. James it must be hard running a used Truck Lot all by yourself...😁😁. 👍👍👍👍👍up for the Power washing video. I know some Guys over at UPS here in Phx they love to shine there trucks. I can send them your way😗😗 Hope you and Misses have a great Holiday. That Freightliner cleaned up nicely.
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!
What a pretty truck James.
Thanks Ray. Appreciate ya
From Frightliner back to Freightliner. I love all those period bits like the wing mirrors and the air deflector.
Me too

Thank you Phillip
What a little cleaning will do looks good. 👌. Amazing the front lug covers and caps are still all there lol 😆
Ya they are rusty too so they have been on there a long time
Very satisfying seeing that black stuff come off the side of the truck! Something about power washing and it feels so good seeing the outcome.
I know I love power washing old trucks
I drove a purple one back in 2000 took a fuel tank out going over a curb God bless Merry Christmas ⛄🌲✝️🇺🇸
Merry Christmas Jim

Another great video James. Man, number 12 cleaned up nice. I’m going to have to get me one of those Hotsy’s.

Jp hey man glad to see you with Tim and driving the cab over anytime I come over American In going check in with you

Looking good I always hated the roof caps on flat tops it would look good with aluminum wheels on the back
I will remove the topper and put aluminum wheels on it most likely
Take that top off, awesome truck, i pull flatbed, I have one with an old Cummins, getting ready for a rebuild
I will end up taking it off
Looks great
I have a hotsy Since nineties. Love that thing. Mine has electric motor. Great show. Great old trucks. Merry Christmas

I agree Bob. Better than I anticipated

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!
Thanks Rob. Appreciate ya
I like the color of that fld
Me too. It’s pretty good looking
Awesome truck.
Thank you
