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.

Stephen Ashburn says he got the idea to light up his interior with bright blue LEDs from another truck on the highway. “I liked it, and I wanted to do it to my truck,” he says. The car hauler went to a shop that had Woody’s lights, and he bought six of them to replace the lights already hung in the interior. When trimming later, he added two more blue oval lights.
