If you get paid by weight if you can skip the passenger seat only use one fuel tank see if you can find aluminum wheels for the inside anything to lighten up the truck

My first load was out there in Cochran. Beautiful country out there. Lighting warehouse. Never forget your first pick up and delivery

I like that beginning, showing all the trucks as the boys grew up around everything. 😎

Congratulations on your Day runner. Pray that this truck will get you over the business situation. Be safe.

Hey Justin Congratulations on the Little Mule , it looks good can't wait for the transformation, going to sound good straight piped , glad to see always family togetherness that means alot , you should let tdubs drive the W900 have fun and be safe see you later

Your an inspiration my friend. Lovely family. Wishing you all the best 🙏

Funny, getting a new seat and steering wheel will be a gift for myself when I (finally) buy my truck. I'll be watching your progress on the daycab because that might be a decent option in today's world. Roll On!

First truck I ever got to drive at my age (I'm 16) was a Freightliner FLD120 58' sleeper w/ Eaton Fuller 10 Speed with N14 engine. Best memory I have at the monument :)

Justin, congrats on your new rig! Sounds, looks and runs good, stays in its lane and is ready to haul some loads! Can't beat that! Cheers from New Mexico!

Great engine. I have a 2000 FLD for local hauling. Always loved the black and wood trim interior. The best thing about it, no DEF!

New stacks, polish the tanks and wheels, rattle can the frame, eBay bumper, they make side bug deflectors for them cover up them whole and it will be like a brand new truck! You’ll have to tint the back window or you’re gonna get a red neck 😂

Solid workhorse can't wait to see the upgrades on the little mule

Very similar to my first truck with FedEx, just a single axle. Had 1.27 million. Those hold a special place in my heart! Cruise control on the shifter

I’ve been a trucker for 2 years now!! There is no better job in the world!! God bless you and your family!!

Our Milk hauler that picked up our milk at our FARM had 12.7 DETROIT in 2000 Autocar he only changed the oil every 80,000 miles ,never had any motor trouble ! Had about 700000 miles on it when he retired from trucking

Miss y'all glad your hanging in there and sending some California love congratulations on new rig as well👊🇺🇸🙏😁

Looks like a good find!! Happy for y’all good people and beautiful family . Love

Love it, drove a ton of miles in one of those. Cant wait to see what it looks like when you're done with it.

Wooo Justin! Congrats on the new 12.7, excited for the new content to come!

Good looking money maker especially for a 99. It was well taken care of. Really happy for you Justin. Truck it safe brother 😎

Justin...Tim Gentry will be proud of you with that FLD & and a Detroit engine 😁

"I don't know if that's floating " Great job🎉🎉 Congratulations

Looks like a good lil mule hope it runs hard getting the cement where it needs to be! And im sure it will look cool when you get it looking & sounding how you want it

I used to drive one just like that...and loved it !!

You will be happy with the 60 series!!! Just as long as you don’t know what time it wide-open!! Great motors

Blow by is normal. Them old S60 always start good. Don't run it out of fuel. It will not restart with out putting air to the tank to push fuel up to head or use starting fluid. So keep a can in truck with you.

lots of luck with the new rig, I have a feeling it's going to be a nice project truck while you get some work out of her. I also noticed that there are no steps on the passenger side, I wonder if the tank was changed at some point.

Nice. Can't wait to see it ccompletely overhauled. God bless you, too! (Former) Pastor Dean (now retired) in Ocala, FL.

I use to have a 1989 FLD120 double bunk it had a Cummins and a 9 spd tandem. You can get the new door hinges and all new rubber around the doors and windows and we put all new stainless steel bolts and screws in and that done away with the doors and windows not shutting good.

I bet you will drop 5000 pounds off your empty weight the Fld is generally a very lightweight truck,I think you made a very wise decision it's not a show truck but it is a moneymaker. For vibration if the driveline and u joints are good make sure you check the ride height if it has air ride, and it may just be a tire out of balance. I like it those old Fld's are good trucks and that 12.7 is a great engine that will work great for the cement haul.

Nice truck. Love my century 14L. Need front air bags. Put back fenders. I put a rock through window

It's a detroit, it's gonna have leaks, but that 60 series is by far one of the best engines they ever put in production. HP and fuel efficiency is hands down the best during that time period.

That truck is better than some new ones....I have a 1993 IH eagle with a 12.7.... We have 3 Detroits on the farm....

First thing with Frieght shaker you need to keep a door key in your pocket at all times with the windows up. I’ve been running shaker’s for over 16yrs with all models and the doors locking is common. Keep door key on you 🔑

Congrats on the new truck. Just few things you should look check the antifreeze valve right by the relay compartment check is not leaking. The oil pam always leaks little bit other if is real Detroit always should have a little blowby and when you are ready to get a new turbo get the borgwarner 171702 best turbo so far that’s my opinion.

We got a truck exactly like that at our company. Great truck, strong motor. But they had to put a Huss regen system on it when CA first required it. System loads up daily but truck still runs very strong and better than our newer trucks. Good luck with your new truck.

Congrats on addin' Little Mule to the JustTruckin' family! Thanks for the video, and God bless!

The water tanker is a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU)

Congratulations on the new truck. Not far from where I live. And yeah that intersection at 16/75 has been under construction since before 2009 when I moved here. Before that I was at Hunter Army Airfield the base in Savannah.

I was just telling my bossman the other, that if I were looking to buy a truck, it would be an FLD like this! We manufacture and deliver poultry and swine feeds, so a good light tare weight is important. Hopefully this one treats you good with what you choose to do with it. 👍🏻

Solid work truck. That’s the motor you want. Those things just run forever and are good on MPG. Drove quite a few very similar to that one at the LTL barns I worked at.

Never been big on Freightliners, we and family always have had KW’s, Pete’s and International’s but despite my biases,Congratulations on your second truck Justin. I can’t wait to see it after you mods.

Good luck on the new adventure with the freight liner!

I'm not a trucker but the only Detroits I've worked with have been older 2-strokes. 6-53's, 6-71's, and 12V149's

Good to see your figuring it out. Coming up on 1 year I went day cab no more $$ in the otr. Get that hazmat and you will be banking again. Forget the load boards most loads are double brokered into the poor house.

Looks great. You should have fun getting like you want it.

looks great ! you'll make it pay. Can't wait to see the upgrades.

Congratulations on your lil mule. You can make it look really nice.

Justin you need half fenders on the front. To prevent a rock thru the back window. Speaking from experience.

The new "mule" should work great on doing some of the cement runs to save wear&tear on the W900

if you ever need a turn signal flasher....you have to exchange the vigil panel...the vhs cassette tape looking thing just above the speedometer with two scrrews holding it in Frieghtler dealer item...It also can be rewired so it becomes seperate

Hey Justin I have the same truck that I haul containers with! I love it...congratulations on the truck, you will like it.

Being a DDEC 3 you need to contact Laurence with Shafer's diesel in Linden TN. He can remote tune if you have a tough book and the software and give you a safe tune that will pull on the cats hands down. I own both. 12.7's live up in the mustard. Don't be scared to run em high. 1900, 2k.

Justin, I'm 23 hours late in watching this video, Cool that your making it a family thing. Us old timers will swear by that Detroit 12.7 60 Series, it by far in my mind the best Detroit to come out of Detroit, (and I'm a Cummins man) you'll do your thing to it, but that's a $$$$$ maker. Justin your FLD is by far 1 of the best built Freightliners of it's day, no plastic garbage in it Kool name "Little Mule"

Justin, I can see Tdubs now going through the drive thru at Starbucks in the Little Mule😂😂😂. The two of you driving side by side on the road would be awesome, You go Giiirrrlll. Congrats and can't wait for the transformation! God bless ya'll 🙏

I think a drop visor and door chops would be perfect. you could even do the back window like %5 tint. If you know the youtuber TruckerAK he's done a bunch a work on his Classic XL it looks real nice.

Those 60 series are reliable. I drove a Columbia with a 60 series 10 speed glider kit (wish it was a 13 speed). Had blowby and had put additives every 2 weeks per the owner. I was nervous about the blowby but learned they can still run with it. There’s a fld mid roof near me in pristine condition going for 16k. Keys for freightliners should be easy to get made. I even have a way to get KW’s and Pete keys made that I learned from a Spanish guy I met in El Paso.

First thing I said when you bought that you'll have it looking immaculate in about a year or two

The FLD will do you good on the cement runs. I own a 2010 Western Star with an extended Big Cab I use to pull my Travel Trailer which is a Monster. My 2010 Has less than a Hundred Thousand Miles an APU and it is rebuilt due to a fire in the rear. Had to put two full axles and all the hardware from the cab back. I found a wrecked one and used the rears. It looks perfect and Western Star said it was a good repair. Rear cab panel only had less than 800 bucks damage. Frame was ok and wiring was minimal. I have had it about 8 years now and it is Black and Beautiful. I bet I have less than 20g on the truck for repairs using used parts, and the Truck was 8g from the Insurance company. I have been offered 59g lately and no way. Zero Problems. It has a 10 speed. I use Slick 50 in my engine and rears it kills any wear. It has a rebuilt title. It is equipment who cares. I think tires cost more than the truck lol. I got lucky when I bought it.

Hard to believe that these old FLDs are so highly desired these days! One of the “backup trucks” I used was an old double-bunk “Condo” with a series 60 Detroit and a “Super 10” transmission. It was quite rough and broke down on me a couple times but always had other drivers coming around asking if I wanted to sell it!

Congrats on the Lil Mule daycab!!!daycare!!!! Plz remove those mirrors on the fenders & mount the spot mirrors atop the big mirrors to see the top of the trailer while loading

DAY CAB LOOKS NICE.. Congrats

You can get a Marine Cam upgrade for the 60 series as well. Really simple uogrades, slightly bigger turbo to move air more efficient and youll see 7+mpg out of it. I do know Tim had issues with reman injectors for these engines, I think the only way he prefers to go is new OE units.

Vibration maybe coming from your shocks. I recommend getting those replaced. You would be surprised the difference a new set of shocks does for you.
