1973 White-Freightliner Detroit 318 incab

Here is one of a few new videos I took of my new toy! It's a 73' Freightliner COE powered by a Detroit Diesel 8v71 engine. This is the second truck I've had with a Detroit motor and I love the old screamin Jimmys! My dad is taking the video and assures me that I'm clear to go then cancels my clearance haha.. Hope you enjoy, and there's more to come soon!

Hey Nice truck and vid I just got a D900 Dodge with a 8V71N I was thinking of a turbo too but I may opt to biuld a set of custome headers and a jake first , is that a tractor or a straigh truck? I saw somthing in the last part of the vid ?

@slimG2082 Thanks for watching! It's a twin-screw tractor but the fifth wheel has been removed and the camper has been bolted to the frame where it was. Congrats on your D900! I love the 8v71 but always wanted to find a turbo model..

Sweet truck, great job man-handling that hoss!

@TheAmazingMikey Thanks Mike! I've been traveling abroad and watching how "gentle" these guys are driving their busses and trucks makes me want to get back behind the wheel of the ol girl and give her hell!

Turbo charged?

[turbosuperiority]

@bigdaddymatty17 No unfortunately it's an 8v71N which is the non-turbo model. I'd love to get my hands on a 8v71T some day.

As a truck driver myself, I thought he did pretty darn GOOD. I'm sure he was running through every gear just for the video, and didn't have any kind of a load on.

But then again, I'm not the kind of A-hole that needs to insult people to make myself feel better...

midell: stop hating, your comments aren't necesary at all. Obviously he is a guy that likes Freightliner and/or Detroits, evident by him posting videos, and #2 this being his 2nd Freightliner with a Detroit. Great vids!

@turbosuperiority Well it is easy to find a turbo to fit and then u just need to do some plumbing , thanks I hope to have it home soon , I will post some vids of it when I do get it home
