You know whats cooler than twin sticks? Just about everything.:stab:I kinda know how, but I'm barely good enough to run a set of sticks, let alone run them smoothly and well haha

Is there a way to tighten the turning radius on a '81 Freightliner or am I stuck with the mile wide turns?
On a truck that's meant to be driven? Agreed! (Unless you're Lang lol)

Finally!!! Finally tracked it down. Older friend of mine had this truck for years. I've always LOVED this thing. Truck was built local to me. I'd actually love to have it. This is freightliner classic gold here...
So....... I'm really liking this.

Wow. Nice truck but $16,000 is a little steep isn't it?

This thing is gorgeous! I love the round headlight FLs. I want to put an aluminum hood on mine so bad but can't find one! Love the flat black too!

I'm trying to get more pictures, I feel 16 is steep yes. I feel the way it's spec'd, it's more along the lines of 10-11 myself.
I mean in all actuality it doesn't have much going for it.
350 cummins
9 speed
Spring ride
If I can get get some more pictures I might be interested in doing some trading with him. The 350 has me a little concerned though. Don't know how well I could get along with it till it'd be in the finances to swap a real motor in it.
I freaking love this truck...
300" air liner cut off
3406
Trucks loads of awesome...
Last time it was for sale it was listed for 28,500.
I love my Cat but knowing what I know now I wouldn't cross an 855 off the list, even if it was only rated at 350 hp.
The 9 speed was kind of the norm on a truck like that then. The FLs weren't spec very heavy. I mean mine has a RTO-14615 but 38,000 lb rears.
The spring ride isn't so bad. I guess depending on what your going to do with the truck. Idk if I'd want to spend 8-12 hours in a truck with spring ride. But if it's going to be a toy it's really not that bad. We run our pullers around with 40 lbs of air and they're not that bad. Plus an air liner cut off can be had fairly cheap.
That makes it right about where I want mine some day, except for the long wheel base.
I have a complete 40,000 lb air liner suspension sitting on pallets and axles, just have to decide how I'm gonna do it!

Speaking from experience, I would keep in mind your final goal and don't buy a truck that needs two pots of gold to get it there. For example, my end goal is a W900A extended hood, DI V8 cat would be preferred but I wouldn't mind a V12 Detroit, any trans would work but it will get an 18 speed, air ride isn't a must because it would get an AG400 eventually, but I'm REALLY picky so I wouldn't buy a truck that has specs way outside where I want my final product to be, I WILL NOT buy another truck with a cummins haha
