I used to have a 1992 FLD 112 I did that to . I wish I had you on you tube back then. But that was before KZbin. Thanks for sharing Gordon

That part is available at your freightliner dealer, and at chrome shop mafia in joplin, mo.

[@scottwright580]

Not many years ago I worked for a farm service which had freightliner for fertilizer tender trucks. We replaced a couple of the top handle pieces. Don’t remember if we got to them from freightliner or aftermarket but they were still available.

[@57bagre]

I keep hearing that I can still get it but I really don't need to. Thanks Scott.

[@LorenzO-305]

Thanks so much Gordon - for sure I am send so donation via PayPal

[@eddysouza7581]

Good job buddy

[@madgamer0001]

You can definitely find that door handle upper panel new. Most are made by dorman. I like the “Freightliner” in the handle itself which it wont have. So it wont look original.

[@57bagre]

Thanks for the info!

5:18 Those 3 bolts are what hold the mirror you can Get a wrench on those Acorn nuts and you’ll be able to remove them

[@thefrankermane09]

Great Vid, keep them coming!

[@57bagre]

Thanks Frankie.

Hi Gordon . . . Looks like you had a little struggle but in the end you got it done but did you happen to repair the door hinge - I bought a huge assortment of those retainer fasteners long ago from amazon and man they sure did come in handy just as the job you had to hold the cab door liner in place - good video - keep'em coming

[@57bagre]

I did the hinge a number of years back before I started KZbin. Fun job.

[@marklong9441]

I got a replacement upper for plastic piece from Freightliner cuz I was shutting door and ended up holding the door handle in my hand so u should be able to give them the last 6 of your Vin and they'll order u a replacement correct color and everything.

Those plastic trim clips are called "christmas tree fasteners"

Thanks for commenting.

[@feridmuhic1014]

Good job

[@williamzoom]

It's no fun until the latch breaks and you are stuck with having to roll the window down every time you want out! )

[@57bagre]

I don't think I would ever let it go that far. Thanks Will.

[@christophercarlberg6657]

Have you had to change the door hinge yet? Those are always a fun time.

[@57bagre]

Yes, a few years back before I started KZbin.

[@christophercarlberg6657]

Gordon Robertson DIY when we do it we usually go all the way do the latch striker and window felt while we’ve got the door apart

[@carlosbanegas7577]

thanck you very much video

[@panchotomorrow595]

Good works

[@AliAhmed-bx8vj]

Great job, thanks

[@PatChapp]

Have you taken it for a spin on the replaced hub yet?

[@57bagre]

Not yet but am going back to work next week.

[@robbwhitehead5486]

Then internet is waiting on a king pin replacement video

[@57bagre]

I don't need to do king pins on my truck. If I did, I would do that. I don't think you want to do that at home though, better to have it done.

[@PatChapp]

I worked in a truck shop for years and we rarely did king pins in house. Spring shop in the area could do it in half the time, no point in us doing it. They had a press that they cut down to fit on the truck, I imagine most spring shops would.

[@chrischiampo7647]

😀😮😊👍🏼

[@57bagre]

thanks for watching.

[@salishaho3194]

Looks normal on freightliner. I hope a bird won't come inside my truck door one day,that's how primitive those trucks really are.
