    That's actually a freightliner flb. Fla stop the year prior and that's the model that replaced it. But away thank you so much for saving that beautiful truck!!

    Beautiful. I recently had to put my cdl on hold. I remember Burlington ran these and I wanted a job there so I could drive one. I eventually did drive a flat floor for jb hunt for a while. Man, life was better then. When my only worry was the ability to stand up in my truck. Dammit, I miss it.

    Those were GREAT trucks! Very reliable. I drove a brand new one in 1993 when I worked for Burlington Motor carriers.

    That's a neat old truck! I've never seen inside one of those high roof cabovers, it looks like there's actually a very comfortable amount of room.

    My new freind Armando has a Freightliner FLB C.O.E. similar to this one!!! He hauls shipping containers with his truck!!! Every once in a while I get to connect the air coils and electrial cord line on his truck to the trailer!!!

    If you can't find the part online for the shifter,look up junkyards that may have a few cabover trucks that might still have what you need. Do a road trip with a cargo trailer and get what you need. Junkyards are a jem at times

    Man that is a nice cabover you have. I used to drive a cab over exactly like that but it was a new year. The inside of the truck remind me of mine. My truck had a Detroit engine in it to with a 10-speed and it had top end gears in it cuz it would run 75 miles an hour all day long with no problems. I wish I could have bought that truck 🚛 from the owner cuz it was a good running truck 🚛. I ended up buying me a Freightliner Classic and it's a beast. I'm glad about this and I love driving it. Looking forward to watching you fixing the truck up. I just found your channel and this was an awesome video you did. Thank you for sharing.

    Nice cabover. If you can't find linkage that goes to the shifter you may have to find someone to fabricate that linkage. I use to have a 94 GMC White cabover with the 11.1 Detroit with a 9 speed transmission back in 2008. Parts were getting hard to find back then, but was very good truck. I hate I got rid of that truck.

    That's not the drive shaft it's the shifter linkage bar which connects from the top of transmission up to shift tower and connects the shifter

    To the left on the cab jack pump is a button you pushed and it electrically/or by air, raised the cab. The handle was only if the automatic pump failed. You pressed it and it went bup bup bup bup and raised the cab easily-no manual work.

      @darrencatenacci2737 Před 2 lety +3

      Depending where a truck runs many companies use steer tires in all positions. As long as tires all match up size. Running steer tires on drives will gain fuel economy because they have lower rolling resistance. They do suck in mud and snow tho.
