1998 Freightliner FL112 6X4 SDIST - White - Turbo Diesel Tray Truck
Overview
This 1998 Freightliner FL112 6X4 SDIST represents a workhorse of the Australian commercial transport fleet. The FL112 was Freightliner's mid-range heavy rigid truck platform, purpose-built for demanding tray and tipper applications across regional and long-distance haulage. The 6X4 configuration (six wheels, four driven) provides excellent load-carrying capacity and traction, while the SDIST designation indicates a space cab with integrated sleeper berth, making it suitable for multi-day operations. This generation of FL112 is known for robust Cummins turbocharged diesel power, proven reliability in harsh Australian conditions, and straightforward mechanical design that has made these trucks popular in the used market for owner-operators and small fleet operators.
The vehicle presents as a genuine working truck with honest patina reflecting its operational history. The white cab and tray show the expected weathering of a 26-year-old commercial vehicle, with surface corrosion on the steel tray deck and minor denting consistent with typical tray truck wear. The cab structure is sound, and the truck retains its original configuration with no major modifications visible. This is a truck that has earned its kilometres and shows it, but the fundamentals appear intact for continued commercial or private use.
Condition
Exterior: The white cab paint shows fading and minor stone chipping on the windscreen, consistent with age and highway exposure. The cab doors exhibit surface corrosion typical of 1998-era commercial vehicles. The steel tray deck shows significant surface rust and corrosion across the bed surface and side panels, with minor dents visible on the tray sides. The overall structure remains sound with no evidence of major collision damage or structural compromise. Wheels and tyres present as serviceable, with dual rear wheels fitted as standard for the 6X4 configuration.
Interior: The cab interior shows wear consistent with a working truck of this age. The driver's seat shows typical bolster wear, and the dashboard presents with minor cracks and fading. The steering wheel shows age-appropriate wear. Instrumentation is functional with analog gauges clearly visible. The manual transmission lever and shift gate are clearly defined on the centre console. Climate control and basic creature comforts are present but show their age.
Engine Bay: The Cummins turbocharged diesel engine is visibly original to the vehicle, with the turbocharger assembly and intercooler plumbing clearly evident. The engine bay shows typical commercial vehicle patina with minor surface corrosion on ancillary components, but no evidence of major overhaul or significant mechanical work. Fluid levels and hose condition appear serviceable.
