Good to see the old girl still out there. That color is sovereign blue .it was painted by fleet refinishing in milford de. My kids picked the color.keep the old girl strong. Keep trucking young man.
I drove several cabover 'Freightshakers' during the 70's for Kroblin [KTS] out of Waterloo, IA, just like this one except they were red and white. Seeing this '73 brought back memories - thanks for sharing!
Kroblin ,old school trucking company. Almost forgot about them. Knew an o/o back in the 70's, double bunk shaker hauling refrigerated lunchmeat to new England.
@@onentc-pt5go I knew a couple of the KTS o/o's, one was out of Maine who had driven a company truck before going o/o. I'm trying to recall the dude's name, but he was funny as all get out - a laugh a second...and great fun rolling down the road with the CB chatter. Good times and great memories...those were the days for sure!
These trucks take me back to better times. Love to see them still being appreciated today. Glad to see a young man keeping an old school rig alive. Stay safe everyone.

Thank you. I have seen a few of the videos, but really do not know much about it. Not much happens close to where I live. Have loved trucks since childhood.
I took at least 25 video interviews like this at MATS, and have a playlist of probably 100 or more truck tours at this point. I share as many as I can! :)
I just got a 1970 white freightliner. I’m considering restoring. I put a video up on my TH-cam if you wanna see it. Thanks for sharing your truck. Looks great!
That plate is off his car 😬 On the truck just for decorative purposes. You can get personalized historic vehicle plates in Ohio, but not commercial truck plates.

When I was ten years old & growing up in the 70's, this was one of my dream trucks! Good looking old beast!!
Nice FreightShaker!

Nice truck with necessary updates, as they say. Good to see he’s making it.
Very cool, great vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome, even the paint is still good, with only a few chips out of it. Well done.
Cool old Cabover
Very nice ride!
Love the enthusiasm!
You might buy a pack of Walmart microfiber towels..clean that dashboard.
Get one wet, wring it out.
Follow with a dry one. Easy
Just saw this truck pulling a reefer this morning!
Much kooler than any modern truck !
I like the 86's too.
Cool truck!

Thanks for sharing your truck. Looks great!
The Era when they made real trucks....wish they still made something you can fix on your own when things go south...over those Cabovers..
What or who is White? Is it a Spec or a Manufacturer I think I've seen that name in front of other truck Brands.
A manufacturer. Partnered with Freightliner.
I've been trying for years to get personalized plates for truck & trailer in Ohio. What's the secret?
