Thanks for sharing Bruce i have 1982 Silver Eagle Bus i found in the back woods, 8V71 Detroit in her. The old girl started with a little work, then put it in gear and she rolled. I brought it home and love it. Me and the wife put it all together made it a motor home. Thanks again for sharing i love old big truck and you got it started.
This is one of them old diesels I'd be thrilled to purchase! No oil or fuel leaks, good rear air ride suspension, seems to build proper air pressure, lights and ignition and gages work right!! I'd take it any day!

@@speedtrapp219d2 Aww, what's the matter? You hard up because the last piece of ass you had was when your finger tore through the paper while you were wiping yourself? LMFAO.
Boy that old Freightliner sure brings back a few memories I drove a 1987 FLC with a Cummins 444 and 13 Speed Rd. ranger in it it had that big flat steering wheel that even with power steering you could break your knuckles across the top of the dash or hit the a pillar if you were not careful the truck was the roughest riding truck I ever drove 30 years later my eyeballs are still bouncing around in my head hence the term freight shaker
My 1980 FLC was off the road 16 years and was in sad shape. Mice ate wiring and filled heater box with massive nest, headliner had one 2 ft. in diameter! But it ran and had good oil pressure. I fixed it up the truck and started trucking with it. 6 years I have ran the old girl and she has provided for me and the family. Them old rigs have alot left in them if you just put a little time. Im Never selling mine. Old FLCs are my favorite trucks.
Just to say bruce, you can always have a long nose freightliner instead of always finding a cabover, try something different and trust me, you do not want to miss a chance in driving or fixing a long nose freightliner.
Just found this vid. That is a super sweet Freight! Holy crap, after all those years sitting, and that motor starts & runs solid! That’s a damn good truck, just needs a healthy heap full of TLC. Man I hope someone gives that thing a good home. What a waste if that gets scrapped. I’m up in Minnesota, no way can I get it. I love early 80s FLCs.....
I really like diesel mechanics and I think it’s really cool a truck that’s been stopped for years, you can get the engine running and still walk away on occasion
I enjoy these videos. Just a hint from a guy up north. Release the clutch when start these engines. It will make them start easier by not spinning the mass of gears in the transmission. Keep up with the nice videos. Thank you
I love that freightliner,it had no problem starting up,I wish I could buy it,fix it up,and clean it up,and drive it,maybe turn it into a wrecker. After highschool,I'm gonna go get a job,and cdl,and buy that truck.
Brake pads are most likely frozen to the drum from moisture. Build air and tap the shoes. They should break free. Peterbilt headlights, Kenworth seats in a Freightliner aka Freight shaker. The combination is commonly known amongst old timers as a Peter Worth Shakin.
My grandfather was in the business. Owned a machine shop and worked on frames and engines. I remember him saying, never buy a truck that has been parked and forgotten about. Nobody parks a truck that makes money. That thing is a money pit.
Always liked those long nose Shakers. Never owned one because of the old length laws, but always wished I could buy one and stay under the 55' length limits. Once upon a time, Cabovers were the only way to have sleepers and stay legal with a 45' trailer.:)
I don't know now why there are so many haters that watch Bruce's vids? He's just out there having fun. Obviously non of u have go out to an old junkyard and tried running something that has an inch of dust on it!
Gee Bruce I know it’s 4 years later but of all the trucks you’ve had this one had great potential and if you put air ride on the cab they smooth right out and they have a really classic look. 😎
I love the American Trucks. I have been playing the trucks computer game (American Trucks) based in the USA trucks for 13 years and I like to drive exactly the models you showed in the video. Wonderful.
Back in the eighties I drove for a guy who owned one of these It was his and he drove it ...It was well looked after and a sweet truck.The 3406 b cat had close to a million km. when he finally sold it and then the second owner drove it for several years. Back when a freightliner was a " really nice" truck!!
Hey Bruce thanks for another great video. I’m from Australia and been watching since I came across from ol’ Cleetus Mcfarland channel when you worked on white buffalo and I stayed your will it start videos of old tractors, can’t believe what you find and what you actually get running. Awesome that you read the comments and it’s good to see you have a thick enough skin not too listen to all the keyboard jockeys with their negative narrow minded shit on how you doing it wrong because your doing own thing your way and making your own mistakes! If they don’t like it don’t watch it! You never say that they are are a “how too” video! I watch them all if I agree with how you’ve done something or not it’s all great content. Keep them coming.
What you need is that flatbed 67-72 ford at 11:56. I thought that’s what it was when you panned across in the last video there. Good trucks, I used to run 3 of them. Build you a ramp truck/car hauler. With a cummins.
Just a thought. Freightliner’s require the service brake to be fully pressed to release the parking break. So try pressing the driving brake all the way to the floor and then press the yellow parking brake.
@@jackmehoff2961 well Hes got 2 already.. I mean That 1st truck would have been done by now with all the time and money waisted on the other 2 he has now and his youtube ratings would have been thru the roof.. But in order to do that you need a real MECHANIC!! Not the prodical Fucker upper you have now..
this is lady kathryns husband. my dad and i were with daily express in the 80s and 90s .my dad bought this truck from another daily hand from ok city in 1993. i drove it from 95 to 01 when i got out of the trucking bizz sold it to a friend who pulled containers in jax fl till it was stolen in late02 or early 03. it is a shame to see this truck in this shape i hauled o/d machinery nationwide in this truck for 5 years and compared to what i had been driving this truck was a horse.
Why he’s just gonna wash it put new tires in it and sell it saying how much of a awesome journey it was fixing it up for a transporter but don’t have the time for it and buy another
Part 2 Get some safety glasses and a big brass hammer. The only problem is the brakes shoes are rusted to the drum. If you hit the brake drum a few times the brake will release. Just remember the brake drum is cast and will break if you hit it to hard.
She sounds like a good running engine once everything became primed up they always sound harsh after sitting for so long. I hope someone buys it and restores her to its former glory.
I say buy it ,remove the sleeper throw some exshaust on it ,strip the cab to bare minimum fix the brakes and air leaks , hot rod black it with blk wheels and sell it for a couple bucks to someone looking for a project that has all the big stuff done
So. From Cab Overs to Curb Sniffers! Will we see this old girl in a future lineup? Man, Im thinking you need sponsors for tires and batteries and parts suppliers!
Man IDC what anyone says I love freightliners! I have always buad great luck with them using them I'm the woods and that was some of the toughest work I have seen done using semis and never once had a problem. They also generally make great power! I had an XL classic with dual turbos and I could barely keep up with it using a cclb Chevy 3500 and the truck was loaded pulling a skidder too! When it was uploaded she would cream down the roads. My favorite model definitely has to be the XL classic day cab but unfortunately the only problem I have with that model is the cabs just to small as quite a tall guy I could never drive one comfortably without changing the seat out, do you have any Western stars down south? I would love to seen a will it start to see how they hold up over time! I live the reliability of the Western stars but god damn they barely make enough power to move them self's around without putting a proper size turbskee on them but I'll be damned they have the best sounding exhaust brakes especially for being a old Detroit
I have a 2014 Pete 367 with a 550/2050 Cummins with an Eaton 18 speed and while I LOVE my truck, I miss the old 500 Cats and the 2 stroke Detroits. I love Cummins too and have family that work for them, but it's hard to beat the old 2 stroke Detroits.
Also, that Freightliner is not even close to the Smokey and the Bandit truck... the Snowman's truck is a 1974 Kenworth w900a with either a DD, Cummins, or Caterpillar.
Smokey and the Bandit #1 used 4 Kenworth W900A's. A ''73, '74, '75 and a '76. In Smokey and the Bandit #2 they used a 1980 GMC General. I could not find a good source of how many was used, I'm guessing a few.
@@lilbatista11492 Yes they had an 50th anniversary edition kw, it was awesome (Which is a neat game to play with friends to try and see who can find the golden emblem in the rig scenes)! No, not all had Cummins engines, different scenes with the truck have sometimes different sounds... The start of the movie as the rig starts and runs, is a different sound from when Snowman pulls into the 76 for a little go-go juice and to put some groceries down his neck...
Was it common back in day for the frames to be painted like that or did someone really love this trucks it’s freaking sweet. I’d buy it if i knew where it was
That FL conventional with 400 Cummins was the shits back in the day. Nice truck , had a buddy that worked at Freightliner, I was driving the Transtar then, I sat in a Freightliner conventional similar to that and hoped my company would buy me one. Never happened....LOL It would be rare to have one of these restored properly, don't see any these days. Everyone wants a Peterbilt.
Sadly Bruce is not the guy to restore this truck. I hope someone does but it doesn't need messing with the way Bruse does by chopping, stretching and otherwise transforming it into something it was never meant to be.
Buy the freight shaker you need a hood to your collection. After reading some of the other comments it looks like you may have given the owner a hell of a lot more business. Maybe he can come off that price a little.
