Better then getting an air purifier

Love how simple fixing and cleaning can make your interior look a lot cleaner and not falling apart like most previous owners that let the trucks go to waste 👌🏼 keep truckin’

What an amazing transformation! Your dad is a saint! You are a lucky man. The satisfaction that comes from doing things yourself is so rewarding is it not? Great Job.

Eeek live wire? No bueno! 5:15 cutie ...looks great AK!

I applaud you for taking a well-worn Classic and working her back into shape. And, as you have already discovered, previous work done by the unskilled is sometimes the biggest obstacle to overcome.

Thank you I’ve very proud because of how far I’ve come with this truck but the previous owner had no idea about anything but the truck is coming together slowly

She is more beautiful and you are her best makeup man.

That Classic is looking good, U should put the old light covers on the new hood. Can't wait to see it in new paint one day

One hell of a job you should be proud of yourself

Very cool getting harder to get replacement parts

Your dad must be one proud farther for what you have accomplished!

“Let’s Do the Dash” 🤣

i just bought a 2000 model xl.detroit love your videos 35 yrs into the game good luck your doing a great job keep going stay safe

Your dad and you done an exceptional job, something to be proud of

Hi, AK. Your truck is looking very nice. Yes, your new Company screwed up but then if you think about it, you got time to fix a lot oof the things that you needed to do. The chrome bits off your old hood you should put on the new one. It would look cool. Now you just need to fix the door. Your dash should have wood panels which would make it look fantastic. I would not paint them blue or whatever other colours, just leave them with the wood colour. Keep on with the great work, I can't wait to see you on the road again.

Freightliners are notorious with those piston air switches in the dash. I've had my dash apart many times repairing them damn things. It's a pain in the ass. I feel your pain.. Nice job

Great job wish you well on your new adventures 😀

As always another great video! This is my favorite channel on KZread now!! I tell everybody about you man...keep up the good work can’t wait till you get back out on the road! May God bless you and keep you and your family safe through these bad times!!!!

Trucker AK excelente video

That dash looks sick bro that was a lot of work but definitely paid off

Bro, your a badass... I'm in the same situation almost. Tracking down air leaks. Everything I touched started leaking. Brake valves were broken and loose... lol

Stuff like this actually makes me appreciate classics 🤩

Just caught up with this video Driver. I’m just doing the big piece on the right cause mama busted the brake valve box. I found 3 different GPS boxes under the dash. They were all wrapped around peeled wires. Gonna take the light wires for the 2 extra gauges right above your radio and connect some floor lights. I like to do a pro job. Thanks for your knowledge. Laters

Wish I was like you and knew how to fix stuff like that, could save lots of money. Good luck at landstar

You're killing it E2...I mean Ak..Lol

Great work man. Dash looks absolutely great now. Looks like the previous owner was doing everything on a shoestring budget because you have to be either stupid or broke to block vents.

That’s awesome man she’s looking good

After replacing mine, I can say it was NOT as much bullshit behind the dash as your truck. You definitely put in the work.

Coming from a fresh pc build where I took a couple hours to do cable management..those dash cables gave me terrible anxiety lmao.

Dash looks good 👍

Dnt think you gonna sell this truck. U brought it from nothing to something. Love the steering. Your dad was helpful lol

Excellent work on that paint job with that dash, looks brand freaking new, great job. By the way I got my shirt last week, fits great and looks great A+++++++ dude

Love it how the new dash parts it looks a lot more better then what the old owner had it at I think the old owner need to stop working on semis and vehicles because don't how to fix it

The now makeover on the truck is bossed up

If you had a welder or some sort you could weld those pieces in the old hood back together

I did my A couple of months ago It took me three days try to replace everything that you can behind the dash

Banger

One why lost star? I have not heard good things about them. Though the sources could be biased, especially as lease drivers(obviously your a owner not a company or lease operator)... Second if it's all fiberglass it can definitely be repaired as long as it has its form and hasn't completely delaminated. I've seen boats with keeps that are completely snapped of be repaired almost like new. You do have to correct the delamination but otherwise fiberglass is repairable as far as cracks go I'd say as long as you have material to repair with. Third I would say definitely move those classic plates over if you plan on using that new hood. And I bet retro LED lights would look awesome on it to. Or even xenon instead. And lastly as far as the wiring goes some of them could of been factory plugs to allow for multiple options. Cuts down on cost. Totally agree if last owner did anything it should of just been changed out instead of adding splits

You did a good job, and you could get a wiring harness schematic to complete the job.

Nice job man, I could never tackle a job like that lol I’m that guy that would hire someone like you to do it haha. Can’t wait to see everything you ordered put in.

HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO DO YOUR DOOR PANEL IN FIBER GLASS PANELS WITH POCKET HOLDERS AND DOOR LAMP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR FOR BOTH SIDES . AND HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO A FIBER GLASS FLOOR FOR YOUR TRUCK THEN YOU CAN PAINT IT TO MATCH YOUR DASH AND DOORS ..

Good video bro. Thank you.

ADD SOME SMALL LIGHTS INSIDE OF YOUR AIR VENTS IN YOUR DASH TO MATCH THE IN SIDE COLOR THAT YOU CHOSE FOR YOUR TRUCK ..

You're doing this the right way with your truck. Focus on functionality and reliability first. You can have fresh paint on the truck on the outside, but if it doesn't run reliably and key systems do not work, that truck won't do squat for you. Good job!

Hi AK. Looked like a rats 🐀 nest 🙈 She looking good now and it’ll be even better with the new blue cover 🤣 Sweet & keep safe cheers Stevie 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I would say whatever color you choose for truck do the same color on the new dash pieces you have coming in or a accent color 👍

When you replaced the torn up air tube (aluminum) behind dash, did it help air come into cab stronger

Truck looks hella clean bro! Why are some gauges missing? Say safe bro!

The one is missing because it was broken

Are you still thinking about changing the color of the whole truck? And it’s lookin good!

That not cool how the old owner did to the dash and wiring to that truck I wish you good luck and be safe with all the wiring

Bruh I’m glad you post vids when you work on your truck. I have same truck well it’s a sba fld120 but basically the same. Anyways I need to replace the vent hoses. Can you remember what size they were. I had pull the old ones out awhile back n don’t have them to take with me to the store.

what sup bro hi like it truck look very good bro keep it that way

Forgive me for not knowing but im wondering if those gauges are stock or did you have to just change the bulbs like in a car? Im about to purchase my first truck tomorrow after work and its a 2002 classic xl.

my classic when i got was so messed up. cruise control/ engine brake / none of guages work took us a month myself and my brother and cousin and turn out to be all wiring issues. now everything works and got alot of chrome on it. some owners treat trucks like shit man. the previous guy had water as coolant. had rust in radiator. had to replace radiator, hoses, water pump

Hi my friend

Where did you buy the new dash panels? They look sick and I would like to get them for my classic

Looks good man! Where are you finding all the new parts? I thought FL no longer made/sold Classic/FLD parts?

You know...I use to think that freight liners were complicated when it comes to wiring and other stuff...but he makes it look so easy peasy

Very nice, grey and black panels would look sick. .

Do you like Landstar or if your not there anymore did you like it?

What’s your go to for FLC parts? I’ve got a 1984 and can’t find replacement parts anywhere.

Dope video. Where can I get custom panels?

How long did it take you to get the dash apart?

You is the best truck driver ever

The truck looks rad man & you ever thought about getting a drop visor?
