Miss havin a sausage on a bun with Bev, back when he ran Jet fuel down to Trenton air base! So glad the Ole girl is still on the road! Frankie’s old Louisville and Bev’s truck, two of the most iconic trucks to run the 403 401 corridor! Two of the nicest guys you will ever of had the pleasure of knowing! Both sorely missed!

That's a neat truck! Interesting to see a sleeper with the bunk running along the side of the sleeper and not across the back wall.

nice truck & restoration, I drove my uncle's 1982 freightliner cabover back in 82, he said it had the heavy cab with the Canadian insulation package, the heavy duty cab like yours has the row of rivets on each side of the grill angled or in a tapered row, light weight cabs have rivets straight up & down, his also had the 400A cat & 13sp it did not have the super sleeper and a lot of cool mods yours does

That's one of the Neatest trucks you've shown Ms. RED As a kid I thought the glitter steering wheels on Freightliners was nifty. Dads '77 cabover was triple blue with blue interior had the blue glitter wheel and switch extensions His '79 long nose had a green glitter wheel and switch extensions.

@MissFlatbedRed 11 ай бұрын

Before I ended up with my 352, I was about to buy a red & white Freightliner cabover with a red interior, red glitter wheel, and red glitter switch extenders. Really regret letting it go.

Zadbany ciągnik podoba mi sie to dlatego mają duży rozstaw miedzyosowy a co za tym idzie dłuższą ramę przewidzianą pod zabudowę i przesuwne siodło

I remember Grizzly....nice man, I do not recall who he worked for but I am thinking he hauled a tanker at one time.

@richardstapp5874 Ай бұрын

Is there some sort of air bag between the back of a cab and the bunk? I love to know how it kept it weather tight. And still lift the cab.

@danielhofer7386 11 ай бұрын

That cab is newer than 1978. the doors did not go into the cab in 1978.

@fuzzybutkus8970 6 ай бұрын

Ole girl should be out on the big road just a strokin.

So they access back bunk from that side door?
