    1984 was the first year for rectangular shaped headlamps on Freightliner cabover semis. If I'm not mistaking I believe 1999 was the last year for rectangular shaped headlamps before they went to the Argosy models in 2000 which have single round shaped headlamps instead of dual ones.

    I remember there was a mix of cabover & conventional cab semis in use here in the USA back in the 1980s. Nowadays there's mostly conventional cab semis in use.

    Greetings from the Ohio Porters.🤩 Nice big Mack wrecker that pulled that Cabover in! Did you get those 2 cabovers for the price of ONE?! 🧐 That’s the way to buy them…one for parts if nothing else, but it seems that you’re gonna start with the oldest/most damaged one to get working on 1st. Good stuff either way! Glad that you found these cabovers and you know how I feel about cabovers…Cabovers Rule & Others Drool! Are you Cabover Crazy yet?! Really like the color scheme on these…they look quite the same, right? Have fun! 😎🥰✌️

    Lots of Bugs in there. Best time I’ve found for getting rid of them is middle of the night. Yep Frieghtshaker put that plate of steel on front middle and back panel above the cab mounts to give it extra strength in those areas. Helped with cracking at those points is what I was told by an old timer long ago. That 8v92 should fit right in that chassis you should have the necessary mounts if you need them on your other chassis. Doesn’t look like your missing that many pieces at least. Get some of the inside work done and it’ll be good! Be careful working with that cab held up that way tho!

    You can get hydraulic jacks with the electronic option for dump trailers. They come with handles for maunal pumping or the electronic pump. Cool truck. Gotta love the Freightliner cabby's. 70 series 12v70? or 12v71? 70 would be a 4 stroker though... 8V92 be 2 stroke and a time tested motor. See them in the old Buses a lot :-)
