That freighter is my dream COE. They were so iconic to me in my childhood. I hope you or someone gets that truck all redone and back on the road. You can't kill old iron and a big fan Cummins like those.

The Freightliner looks like an 8664. That means it is 86" from bumper to back of cab. I had a '74 White-Freightliner 8664, drove it from '76 to '86. 350 Detroit with a Fuller RTO 9513 Roadranger transmission. 4.44 rears. Spring ride, loop steps on the cab. I later installed the steps like the one shown here, and it was a distinct improvement.

The things you find in peoples fields, some times it can be pure garbage and other times there are those little gems in there. Be interesting to see what you have up your sleeve for those and yeah I wouldnt drive them either... no since in ending up on the side of the road... well bring the chain saw and cut the tree out and the work will be really starting, lots to do but I see some money here...even if you kept what you wanted and parted some of that out, I think there is a good buck to be made, old truck parts can be tough to find for certain years...but I also see the potential for a good restoration project if you were so inclined to go down that road... either way, not a bad find Too bad that little service truck wasn't running, good this would have been a very useful project for it...but I am sure you will be geared up to go down there for a worse case scenario when it comes to getting everything ready to roll wise

getting them out of the holes where they were sunk was less than enjoyable. these three trucks are taking a ridiculous amount of time to get out of the holes, move to a spot where i can strap all the loose parts down, figure out if they can be towed or if they are low enough to go on the rollback.......hours and hours of work before i even get them home.
