2002 Freightliner FS65 Partial Build

The expensive, time-consuming, and technically demanding work is already done and the creative interior phase open for you to design exactly how you want it.

This 2002 Freightliner FS65 was purchased directly from a school district in Georgia and was professionally prepared with long-term durability and off-grid living in mind.   It has only 195,368 miles, runs great, has excellent power, and zero rust. Solid drivetrain and an incredible foundation for a full-time build.
