So I was messing around on Ebay, and I seen a Freightliner Classic next to an FLD, and I don't really see much difference, even the interiors and the dashes looked pretty much the same, so what is the difference in these models?
Differences between FLD and Classic?

My most favorite cab for comfort/ergonomics and a simple & intuitive dash layout. I've alway believed that if I owned one I could fix the door so it wouldn't rattle.
-
Yeah, seal it shut for good & climb in & out of window.

My passenger door is the only one that rattles on my 1.7 million mile FLD, and it rattles loudly and often. THere are a few times (that I'll admit to) where I've been in the shop welding and looked with some sort of evil grin at my passenger door with a 6011 rod loaded up.:smt011:smt077:smt077
I've never done it, because I figure it would end up being a pain for me to not use the passenger door some way or another, but oh, Lord, have a I given it some SERIOUS consideration.

Always thought just the classic had the dual exhaust, mounted up there.......
Thought the FLD has exhaust behind the sleeper,
NO ? -
No........any and all exhaust configurations can be found on an FLD.
My favorite trucks.......FLDs and Classics.123456 Thanks this. -
any websites that cater to the fld's...want to trick mine out. paint schemes ideas or pics. want to get mine painted this summer..

These were some great trucks and it's a shame freight doesn't sell them anymore.
Most fld's have a setback axle so that's another difference although you could get them with a setfoward axle. And i think the FLD HD could be ordered with a setback axle. The FLD HD is basically a classic with a setback axle. This model too, has recently been discontinued about 5 months ago

Trucks today look like S_ _t.
