I know the Classic XL was offered with an 84" studio sleeper, but I have never seen a standard non classic with one.
Did they offer one, I'm thinking about buying one.
Where would I even look for something that is possibly that rare?
Did Freightliner offer 84" sleeper on the FLD? (not the classic)

Only the FLD13264T Classic XL was offered with a 70" and 84" sleeper.
The FLD12064T was only offered in 70" as the biggest sleeper.Last edited: Jan 30, 2018

What years did they offer the 84 inch?

I’m pretty sure 2000 thru maybe 2007 I think I’ve seen 07 for sale I have a 2001 with Detroit 13 sp 285 wheelbase seems like most are 275 wb I have to say it’s been the best truck I’ve ever had had a 99 70 inch put a million on it bought this one at 875 k back in 2009 it had 50 k on OH and 375 on reman trans replaced trans at 1 mil now pushing 1.2 mil needs a lot of work but keeps making the trip!!! They have their drawbacks turning radius cheap interiors but in my shaded opinion one of the best trucks from the frame width spring and air ride design simple and easy and cheap on parts still a lot in Junkyard’s except everything I needs already gone currently rebuilding doors/ power windows again as they are a problem plastic handles break from having to slam the door too much not bad if you keep up on hinges oiled and latch etc but they are a problem but it’s easy to work on lots of room around engine and parts available some dealers a lot less than others depends on part never can tell only been in shop for trans clutch I’ve done 2 turbid 1 clutch fan all new bushings cab and springs a/c a few times beware of Detroit a/c. Alt bracket ongoing problem notorious issue personally I think they peaked out around 02 or 03 when they first improved the cab air ride you can easily tell as they raised it quite a bit mine has the old style and bottoms out if the shocks get worn out as I have a ton of tools etc under bunk newer models are much better some newer have front air bags have been told it’s expensive to maintain that my front springs simple rubber bushings no grease fittings is the best check them out I’ve heard newer models upgraded or over engineered hvac systems making them very difficult to work on do your research you’ll see 02 03 I once saw a 04 w 2 egr valves causing a ton of problems if I recall correctly the most aggravating thing is the center doghouse where the fuse panel is could have been moved to give driver room to stretch right leg this gets old quick have to stretch leg way out away from pedals I have a problem w hamstring probably from 19 yrs driving classics good luck
