I'm honestly not sure of the first and last year. I'm going to say early 70's to 87 or 88. The FLD replaced the FLC.
There may have been slight changes, but the biggest change was the hood. Freightliner didn't change much, even when they went to the FLD. My 86 FLC and my dads 94 FLD have a lot of similarities, and I think a lot of parts are interchangeable.

Is it common for the BC Cummins to haze? I've only dealt with about 3 of them and they all haze at idle. Also I was told that there is a BC I, II, & III.. Any truth? Differences, one better than the other?
Gonna make an offer on the truck, I'll check into an appropriate hood for the truck since this one is kinda beat up

We have an 87 FLC and an 89 FLD, so it's right around there somewhere lol
Technically freightliner made FLCs since they started building trucks until they switched to FLDs, though I do think you're right that this body style truck started in the 70s

Looked around a little and it looks like freightliner started producing FLCs like that around 74. I've found pictures of FL conventionals from the 40s, but they were probably only CF trucks. Also found that the FLD was introduced in 87

The interior in my FLC is very similar to my dads FLD.
Some of the earlier FLCs have flatter more rounded dashes.

You know I really don't know what it is about these things but they are growing more and more on me!!!!! I'm really liking the retro paint jobs too.

I was a big time A model guy, but the FLC just looks cooler and cooler every time I look at them. But I'm partial...

I love the old school paint jobs the Freightliner put in these trucks. I want to home up with a good one in black red and grey for my FLC.

Freightliner is known for a lot of things and build quality isn't one of them. Drove a couple IH Lonestars and I believe it's a race to the bottom with those two companies. The wind noise is unreal and the mirrors are bolted to the door which if it was any thinner metal you could read through it. Swear the mirrors are going to fall off.
