Dsc 0102Featured in the August 2012 issue of Overdrive is a full page on Troy Huddleston’s Freightliner 120 Classic — formerly a Freightliner FLD. He started work on it in 2006 and did quite a number on the inside and out, including the butterfly doors, which Huddleston says he thought would add a unique touch that he hadn’t seen on other big rigs.
