    They struck out in my book as well. The worst thing to come in to play sense the T-2000. I won't drive anything newer in body style than a Century. No Cascadia, and certainly not this ugly lookin' POS. Truck's just aren't truck's any more. I wonder what make's these designer think that we give any kind of #### about "sleek" look's in trucks. We may not be able to get away with the emissions BS but #### sure can when it comes to the type of truck. Just buy an old truck and equipt it with all the current emissions BS to still keep the old school alive.

    And yes, the FLD120 was umong one of the best truck's built and that's when they were still being made decent. Now it's all, ceap, all plastic, garbage.

    I've seen a few on the road lately and they look a junky and cheaply built as the T-2000 and the Peterbilt equally junky counterpart.

    Throw away trucks!

    I hope it's not as cheaply built as the T2000.

    Love a pete want a 379 or 389 with c-16 or c-15 650 HP with 18 speed tri-axle with wet kit
    But I would love as a collector is a 359 with 5x4 tranny i'm just 19 but I love the old trucks when it took skill to drive that is what I hate about todays drivers most just know how to turns gears and know nothing about how it works or how to work on them, My dad died a few years ago and I had a lot of respect for him becuase he new how to drive them and work on them too , Little story we we stoped at a rest stop one time and seen a guy he was broke down he couldn't figure what happen guess what he ran out of fuel and didn't know what was wrong. I guess truckers that know about there trucks and how to drive are a dieing breed.

    We're not a dying breed, we're a dead one. We just hang around to haunt y'all.
