Background: My father owns a trucking business, he bought another truck this weekend. The specs are as follows:



-2007 Freightliner Classic

12.8 Liter Detroit w/ 1650 lbft torque (biggest engine offered)

22.5" Clear coated rims

Fresh white paint (came green from the factory)

Fridge

Closet

TV

Bed (of course)



On the way:



Aftermarket chrome front bumper and removing the factory visor for a more aggressive chome piece.



Detail was just a basic wash and exterior dressings, we`re saving the wax for the spring. We didn`t get to polishing the tanks, as you can see:

The Megs spray on foam that dries and glosses over.

My mistake, it was this tire shine. I foamed it on, wasn`t satisfied with the coverage. Sprayed another coat and spread it on with a cloth and it came out great.

I have done about 10 big-rig details and I have to say, that one looks better than any of mine. Beautiful truck, Freightliner Classic has always been a classy looking truck and with that 12.8L Detroit, you will be able to pull a house!



Very very nice. What about some interior pics? I want to know about the sound systems in one of those trucks. I washed some Petes and Sterlings and a Volvo, and their stereos sucked.
