2006 Freightliner Classic

[Don GM]

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:

[Don GM]

The Megs spray on foam that dries and glosses over.

hot shine?

reminds me of "Over The Top" you dont see a nice clean truck like that everyday

 

[Don GM]

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.

cool I have never been a fan of foam but those tires do look great.





BTW Is that a axe in the first picture?

 

[GlossyTundra]

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.

Dam, thats something.

How long it take you and did you get a chance to take a spin? A 14speed right?

1650 lb/ft tq. That is just mind boggling..

 

[Charisma]

Wow! Rarely see a truck like that.



My neighbor has a trucking company, I should pick up some of his trucks :LOLOL

 

[imported_ajbarnes]

How is it working for FedEx Ground i for Express. I love the truck.

 

[paul34]

wow, looks really nice



so, exactly how many cans of the AA foam did you use?!

 

[imported_Surfer]

I think you need a bigger garage



Looking good. If I drove that truck into my neighborhood they'd have a sh!t attack. They don't even allow pick ups as is, wonder what they'll say if I drive a Big Rig in:chuckle:

Sounds like your HOA has dreams of being the Gestapo.
