WOW Fred. That set up is looking absolutely awsome:cool: I remember the days of seeing that very style of truck hauling a lowboy into our yard with a CAT hoe on the back.
Have fun with the MFU :eek:. It is possible , just seen a thread the other day.... Fit above the motor and servos under the hood.

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Our trucks have the same colors just reversed. The colors go good together.This truck is my favorite. I want it done, but I want it right.

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Small update.I changed the drop axle from single to dual wheel.And I got my wheels from Steve.They are worth the wait!!! http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/001-3.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...iner/002-3.jpg Just waiting on a few more parts so I can finish this up.

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Made a new chassis for this 4 inches longer.Just didnt think it looked right with a short wheel base. [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps612818db.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psb8183e71.jpg[/IMG]

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Thanks Paul!!!! It needed a longer wheelbase for that heavy haul look. Was gonna use it to pull my perimeter trailer. Think I'm gonna use Steve's locker box instead of that headache rack.

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Nice job building this one Fred. Somehow it slipped past me and I never saw this project until today. Glad I did see it, and I was going ask you where the suspension bolster came from for the lift axle? I've never seen one like that before. It looks like it's machined aluminum.

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Thanks Buddy!! Yes the hanger, arm, air bag n bell are all aluminum. Got the kit from china, came in a plastic bag no part # or label. Guessing its LESU most of there stuff is, with some MIER parts. Here is a pic for ya. [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psdb6d9723.jpg[/IMG]

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Awesome Fred, I like it brought back to old school. Perfect as always.

Re: Freightliner FLC
 

Man I must have completely missed this thread....that old freightliner is cool. I like the old school spokes on it....wish trucks of today still had the class that these rigs had....Seams not to long ago we would see these trucks all the time....now you have to keep your eyes out for them
