My freightliner fl70 hotshot setup

[@cabovergary]

thanks everyone for watching!

[@cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.2739]

You did a pretty good job 👌..... Bravo, my brother.....those are durable and nice trucks. The Fl70s..

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! It was a good truck for sure. Wish still had it but love my cabover too.

[@espeescotty]

As some of the other commenters have said, you really did a good job with fixing that one up. It really was an ugly duckling to a swan transformation. The chrome on the hubs and the lug nuts was just the right amount of bling, and the carryover of the wrap onto the bumper was a super nice touch!

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! It was such a good truck kinda hate I got rid of it. But I love my cabover

[@espeescotty]

@@cabovergary Right, your CO is cool for life!

[@cabovergary]

Thanks I think so too!

[@carlcarlamos9055]

I prefer your Cab Over set up, but you did a really nice job with this day cab set up. Thanks for the video and take care.

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! I do too. That day cab will always have a special spot in my heart though.

[@belikethismike]

Amazing transformation!!!

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. I was very proud of it.

[@garyhaack969]

I do miss that truck!

[@cabovergary]

Yes

[@fhwolthuis]

Cool little truck! That's the one with the Mercedes cab 😀👌🏼

[@cabovergary]

I think that was the m2 witch was the next generation. Could be wrong.

[@fhwolthuis]

@@cabovergary it's this one too, look online for Mercedes Econoliner (it's a cabover with the same cab)

[@glennhunter7018]

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! I love my cabover. I do watch fsc. He puts on a good show for sure. That apu installation was pretty neat. Thanks for watching as always

[@tomclaes450]

Nice job gary 👍👍👍

[@cabovergary]

Thanks!

[@adventuresofrob5989]

That was a great transformation Gary! Well done! My father had the same truck for several years, 8.3L 7speed, never let us down...

[@cabovergary]

Thanks! I had someone get into my Facebook so off it for now but miss your posts!

[@adventuresofrob5989]

@@cabovergary I figured you were just busy. Glad you got through the virus alright.

[@neilmcintosh1200]

Yet again a truck showcasing your ability to make something really eye-catching with loads of hard work on a limited budget. You have rare talent and determination. Dying to see the Dodge and the IH receive the Haack touch. Did you design your logo?

[@cabovergary]

Thanks. I really like things a certain way, and I have learned to keep what I build after selling a couple. I did design my logo and the truck is about to change in it but just the truck in it.

[@robertfranki5477]

Very nice

[@cabovergary]

Thanks!

[@hinatastyles3289]

How reliable is this truck? I am planning to buy one but fl60. Or is there one with an engine that I should avoid?

[@cabovergary]

This truck was very reliable. It have a 12v 8.3 Cummins and a 9 speed fuller. Allot of people dislike the cars in these trucks although I feel they are a decent motor but need allot of specialized tools to work on and not as many people know how to work on them these days. Hope that helps and have a nice day

[@Beaverdam426]

Where did you get your LED headlights from and how well did the work?

[@cabovergary]

They were off Amazon. They do work great. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@AlfioS]

Nice work! Where did you get the plate / hitch setup? I'm looking for something like but not finding anything I like.

[@cabovergary]

My friend at 3g fabucation in muleshoe Texas made it. He does amazing work. I can put you in contact with him if you would like.

[@AlfioS]

@@cabovergary Looked good. Unfortunately too far but thanks!

[@snakebite2841]

👍👍

[@cabovergary]

Thanks!

[@dannytanner8725]

did you have to do any work to the cluster like bad gauges or needles broke

[@cabovergary]

Yes! All the needles fell off and I took them all apart and painted and glued them back together. Was a pain. If I kept it I was planing on building a dash with regular gauges. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@kenjones2874]

What kinda mpg? And weight

[@cabovergary]

So, I don’t remember for sure. I think it was worst 8 to best of 12 mpg. And trailer limited weight but was able to do a 24k machine on it. It was a great truck and miss it. Thanks for commenting and watching
