Freightliner FLC

[Supermario]

WOW Fred. That set up is looking absolutely awsome 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 . It is possible , just seen a thread the other day.... Fit above the motor and servos under the hood.

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.

Small update.I changed the drop axle from single to dual wheel.And I got my wheels from Steve.They are worth the wait!!! Just waiting on a few more parts so I can finish this up.

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.

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.

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][/IMG]

After reworking the KW,I decided to take this back to old school.Stock KH rails RC4WD daytons,Steves tanks and steps,some turnouts and aluminum fenders. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

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

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
