Popular Post Bullheaded Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 I always had good luck with them as loggers and dump trucks. Biggest issue was some minor cracks in the bottom of the dash near the floor. Here is the last one I ran that got sold for the 2013 Star. C15 550 Cat, and was set up for the box to come off and fifth wheel and headboard go on, tires off lift and go logging. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61925-old-frieghtliners-in-the-weeds/#findComment-447992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice it says Freightliner on the emblem not White Freightliner. These were built by Freightways Manufacturing outside of the White Corporation.

Bullheaded Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Not now, but there was a time an aluminum hood Freightliner conventional would put a Pete or KW to shame. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61925-old-frieghtliners-in-the-weeds/#findComment-448220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that was when White still owned them. IH with the 4200, and 4300 series conventionals of the 1970's were good looking trucks also in the timeframe. All were shaken to pieces in many examples as spring suspension and solid mounted cabs were still in mainstream use. Now that is considered "cruel, and unusual punishment". 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

That is one odd looking truck. I remember in the early 70's there was the "Big 4"...White, Freightliner, Autocar, and Western Star.

Bullheaded Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 From what I have read, that was the very first conventional prototype they made. I'm starting to get a new appreciation for these other trucks now because back in the day NOTHING existed to me other than Mack and International.

Truck Shop Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 There are only two prototypes left, Rick Nocks {I think that's his name] has one that came from Portland area. And this one here , Rick contacted me about this one. But I think it's a little too rich for everyone's blood.
