    Thanks for making your videos. Looking forward to watching your work on this Freightliner. Seeing restorations like this are one of my favorite things to watch. Please keep this truck stock. It has survived for past 4 decades. Be a shame to see it modernized now. There are already many old trucks that have been modified. Vintage trucks in original factory setup are far more special. Keep up the good work. All the best.

    That is a 96" cab, drove one back in the day, be careful getting back in the bunk, that center roof support will get ya! Too bad the tweekers got inside, better get that baby out of there quickly, to avoid more damage! Good luck, she is going to need some work but a sweet ride when you get done!

    Wouldn't call your plans a "pure" restoration when part of it entails back-halving the frame with a newer Airliner cutoff....but it'll sure ride better! It's kinda rough overall, but not too far gone.....best to get it out of there before those kids come back and finish it off. Will be watching along on your progress....

    What an absolute beauty she will be once restored, Im in the UK and love trucks especially American ones
    Can you tell me, you mentioned stretching the frame as ive seen done so many times before but I just dont understand the fascination with stretching frames, is there a reason other than trying to look cool for doing this?
    I would love to see her fully restored "as is" and not messed about too much.
    Liked and subscribed to see how this turns out

    • @Bubbles8V92
      @Bubbles8V92  3 роки тому +2

      Well looks definitely is the main reason... the others would be ride quality or having extra frame mounted boxes or tanks. I like a bit of a gap but there definitely is a point where a pretty obvious lack of taste takes over 😄 i like a bit of gap as it makes hooking trailers and working on the truck a bit easier

  • @MangohickMotorsports
    @MangohickMotorsports 3 роки тому

    The hydraulic pressure from the cab jack also releases the missing part of your shift linkage which is the telescoping section with the hydraulic latch. The latches seem to get pretty janky over time so I bet someone took the jack and the hydro-latch/telescoping section at the same time.

    It already has airbags, I'm sure parts can be got to fix it even if you have to buy a whole other rearcut to get diffs.
    You might get something newer but the deisgn has barely changed. Unless you get a Kenworth 8 bag, its not worth changing it.
    Time, work and possibly even cost wise rolling in a rear end from something newer might make sense, but still youre better off not having a weld enywhere.

    Nice truck , hope you do make it look like it came out of the show room ! For the age the interior is in very good condition , as for the seats if the backs are sound ,just get the base's re-covered , maybe new foam/bolster's ,cheaper than new seats plus keeps the interior original , as for the gear shift ,did these trucks have a box or a sliding shaft ? - check out 'NOT FOR HIRE' channel ,he has an '87 and his vids show the cab up, and the gear linkage . The gearbox 15 speed eaton/fuller ? gear pattern on the doghouse/engine cover looked like an eaton/fuller 10(9)speed ? . Good luck ,big job but will be worth it when complete .
