2001 Freightliner to get to and live in while at sick kids Toronto
I found a 2001 Freightliner for cheaper than the airfare to get my family to sick kids Toronto when I figure out how to post pictures and videos I will add them you guys might get a kick out of how I'm getting it home because the fuel tank was full of water I had a 77 Parts fan I just cut the tank out put it on the seat on the driver's seat run fuel lines to the lift pump and the return line got it running last night and tomorrow I go Drive it home

Yeah it's a lot easier to service to pop the hood up and where you go but the cabover gives you more room inside
