Freigthilner FLD 120 SD

[k100]

This started out as old build I did some years ago . Undecided whether to go with short frame day cab or longer frame with sleeper.

[Old Buckaroo]

I like the day cab look myself Nice to see a FLD being worked on.

[blackbeard]

I like the stretch look with a bigger sleeper myself

[Superpeterbilt]

Thats shaping up to be a Hoss! My vote is for the daycab. Good job so far

[blazefox]

Low streched daycab custom?

[kilrathy10]

Looking very nice....An impressive start, for sure....

[rctruk]

Cool looking truck...I'd go with a day cab heavy hauler look.

[trick my mixer]

I vote for the stretched frame with little sleeper, big pipes and a drop visor.!!!

[k100]

Thanks for all comments .

With those alli rims I would go daycab heavy duty

[k100]

I shorten up the frame a little bit . Still don't know whether day cab or sleeper yet ? I also got the engine done its a Detroit out

of an Peterbilt kit.

[Old Buckaroo]

I really like the tires on this truck - are those from the kit ?

[Mackvision]

Short wheelbase,floats up front,head-ache rack behind the cab,would be an awesome lowboy/heavy haul tractor! of course the set-back steer axle lends itself to a wrecker,dump or mixer chassis as well!..............................Mark

Nice going so far. I'd say go with a day cab- most of these I see out and about are sleepers, seeing one done as a day cab would be a nice change. But in the end, it's your project, so either way you go with it I'll be watching.

[Q tip]

thats sharp, i like it. that set up would look nice with a third axle and a rotator setting on the rear

[Superpeterbilt]

No sleeper, add a headache rack, a couple tool boxes, fire engine red paint, and a lowboy!!

[Whelen36]

I vote with a sleeper and headache rack

[Tesla]

No sleeper, heavy haul

[chuckyr]

I have that GW hood kit. Lots of possiblities.

Thank you for all the comments . The wheels are from Michael Cherry he used to sell his stuff on KFS web site . the rear tires are from KFS ,the front one are Italeri tires.

[k100]

I'm kinda liking the sleeper .

[Chuck Most]

Wrong!

Nope, right! I think I might have a better idea of what cab types a guy might be more likely to see on a given highway tractor in my area than you do. Maybe down Atlanta way it's another matter with the FLD 120, but up here you see way more with sleepers than day cabs. I know that because '90's FLD 120s are getting to be a rare sight up here, and I tend to notice one when I see one. Even many of the farm rigs have sleepers. Only way they'd outnumber the sleeper cabs is if you want to count the Army ones, which you'll see all the time on US-127.

I gew up in Ohio. US 127 was the main road near me in the Cincinnati suburbs. They're are more FLDs out there then you would imagine.
