The Ford L series (also named Ford Louisville or, for the 1990s aerodynamic models, Ford Aeromax) is a range of heavy-duty trucks that were assembled and marketed by Ford between 1970 and 1998. The first dedicated Class 8 truck produced by the company, the L-series range replaced the N-series short conventional (derived from the F series). Produced as both straight trucks and semitractors, the Ford L series encompassed a wide range of models through the Class 7-8 GVWR ratings in medium-duty, severe-service, and vocational applications. The line would become one of the most popular series of trucks Ford ever produced.[1]The L series was produced in the Kentucky Truck Plant near Louisville, Kentucky, which gave rise to the nickname "Louisville Line" trucks[1]; as part of a 1996 redesign, part of the model line officially took on the Louisville nameplate.Following the sale of the Ford heavy-truck line to Freightliner in 1996, the L series was discontinued by Ford at the end of 1998. Freightliner would concurrently take over production of the Ford L series, opening its Sterling Trucks subsidiary; the L series became the Sterling A line, Acterra, and L line, remaining in production until 2009 when Sterling Trucks closed operations.Ford transferred heavy-duty L-Series production to Mack Trucks would became Mack Vision after discontinuation.
For 1970, the L series was introduced in four size ranges, two hood lengths and grille styles, and with single or tandem (denoted by the "T" in the model designation) rear axles. Powertrains included a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines, based on GVWR.In 1971, Ford introduced a set-back front axle configuration. For the rest of the 1970s, the L series saw few major changes. In 1976, the LL/LTL-9000 was introduced. Designed as a truck for long-haul drivers, the LTL-9000 was a competitor to the GMC General, Kenworth W900, Mack Super-Liner, and Peterbilt 359. Fitted with a set-forward front axle and a longer hood, this version had more room for larger powertrains. In 1978, Ford gave the LL/LTL-9000 its own grille and headlight styling, including one of the first uses of the Ford Blue Oval in North America.Although the L series would see few revisions throughout its production, elements of its design would see use in other Ford vehicles. In 1974, the W-series cabover received a larger grille similar to the chrome version on the L series. For 1978, the F-series/Bronco grille was given a similar egg-crate grille pattern. In the 1980 redesign of the medium-duty F series, the hexagonal shape of the grille was carried over; it is a theme used in all Super Duty trucks since their 1999 introduction.In 1984 (as 1985 model year), the rest of the L series became one of the last North American Fords to adopt the Ford Blue Oval; as with the LTL-9000, it was placed above the grille. In 1988, the L series changed its grille design from an egg-crate design to that of horizontal chrome bars; the Ford Blue Oval became centered. In addition, rectangular headlights became standard in 1991.1992 saw the introduction of the set-back front axle version of the LL/LTL-9000, designated the LLS and LTLS-9000, along with the corresponding Aeromax versions that had more aerodynamic bumpers and optional chassis skirting.
Almost all models had at least one engine option, the 9000 series had several. The 600-800 series had a Ford 361 V8 standard, 700-900 had a 475 V8 optional. The 900 series had a 401 V8 standard. In 1977 the 361 V8 was replaced by a 370, and the 401 V8 was replaced by a 429; the 475 V8 remained an option.The 7000 and 8000 series had a Caterpillar V175 standard, the 7000 had a V200 and the 8000 had a V225 available. The 9000 series had a Cummins NH230 standard, Cummins N series up to 350 hp (260 kW) and Caterpillar 3406 series up to 375 hp were optional.
At the end of 1996, Ford completed the sale of its heavy-truck operations, selling the rights and production tools of the Louisville, Aeromax, and Cargo to Freightliner. Ford would end production of the Louisville/Aeromax in 1998; the truck lines would re-enter production as Sterling Trucks from 1997 to 2009; both lines were produced concurrently by Ford and Freightliner during 1998.In 1998 Sterling began production in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, of their L-Line 7500, 8500, 9500, and A-Line 9500. A Mercedes Benz diesel was introduced and a very low profile “CarHauler” model was developed, otherwise there was very little change between 1998 and 2008. Production ended in 2009 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
That warmed my heart, Chris!! Amazing build in honor of your dad! I know how special it is to you. I did the same for my grandfather, and my dad has his build displayed.
A tribute that would make any father proud. He raised you well my friend.
@Stug 3 117 Amen! The world has changed for the worst since I grew up.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Very nice I have the same one and cut the grill out
Two Thumbs up to you and your Dad 👍😇👍
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
hi hpiguys...i am finally finished this dump truck. it took me almost a month off and on...way longer than you. maybe i'm inept, haha. i really appreciate your very detailed video and explanations and i referred to it often. i modified the dump box with horizontal ribs, not the vertical. for the decals, i found a local print shop that could replicate the real logo and put it on sticky back vinyl, it worked out perfect. thanks again for all your help.
Perfect build, I'm retired from Louisiana HWY Dept but I put up traffic signals for 30 years and used bucket trucks and derrick digger trucks, but the dump trucks looked just like that but without the plows, Louisiana doesn't get that much snow, but a really awesome build. Oh yeah they figured out that they could get the trucks cheaper in white, so they stopped getting them in orange.
Woo hoo, a Plow King to go with my Mr Plow GMC.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
I had the same idea with Mr plow and the plow king
This is absolutely the most beautiful snowplow build I've seen !!! Increeeeedible craftsmanship !!!
What a cool kit! I just might have to take a break from building guitars for a week or 2 and build this bad boy!! Thanks as always Chris, great tribute build for dad! 🏁🏁👍
HI CHRIS .
I'M NEW TO YOUR SIGHT .
YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.
ON THE BUILDING THE FORD LTN 8OOO SNOW PLOW DUMP TRUCK.
I OPERATED A 1994 FORD L 9000 TANDOM JUST LIKE THE MODEL WITH A WING ON
THE PASINGER SIDE. FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS.
I SAW THIS MODEL A WHILE BACK. I HAD TO HAVE ONE.
I WAS GLAD TO HEAR YOUR DAD DID THE SAME JOB THAT I DID FOR 40 3/4 YEARS.
ANYWAY YOUR PROUBLEM WITH TILTING THE HOOD.
ON MY PLOW, THE GRILL STAYS UP BY THE RADIATOR WHEN
TILTING THE HOOD AHEAD. ALSO, THERE IS A SMALL SECTION OF HOOD CUT OUT UNDER THE GRILL &
THE BUMPER STAYS OFF WHILE THE PLOW IS ON.
I'LL TRY TO BILD MINE THIS WAY. WITH THE WING BEAM ATTACHED TO THE PLOW HARNES
THERE WAS 4 PINS TO HOLD THE PLOW HARNES VERTICAL.
PULLING THE 2 TOP PINS ALOUD THE HARNES & WING TO LEAN FORWARD ENOUGHT
TO TILT THE HOOD FOR REPAIRES THE CO.THAT MOUNTED THE PLOW TO THE TRUCK
ALSO MADE 2 HATCHES ON EACH SIDE OF THE HOOD TO CHECK THE COOLENT, THE ENGIN OIL
& POWER STEARING , WHITCH SAVED TILTING THE HOOD PROSESS.
I PROBLY WON'T MAKE ALL THOES GOODIES BUT I ENJOYED SHARING A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE WITH YOU
LIKE YOU DO WITH EVERYONE ELSE.
TAKE CARE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
JEROME.
Wonderful build Chris! And great tribute to your Dad - I’m sure he’s smiling down, proud of the work you put into it!
God Bless you Chris and your awesome dad
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Truck model kits is cool
Simple delicious! And a great memorial of your dad. Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful moment. Regards from Brasil, where I'll never see a snow plow in person.
Thanks!
I'm starting a plow truck for my Aunt and Uncle in Maine and so I had to come back and watch this amazing build video of yours!! Something else you may want to Google before building another snowy model, is stuff called Krycell. Thank you for making these amazing videos! I'm constantly coming back to old videos of yours for tips and tricks! Thanks again man!!
I really enjoyed this building. It's a really nice tribute to you dad
A Beautiful Tribute to Your Dad Chris, thanks for Sharing n God Bless All.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Looking at the final stills, I had to grab my coat cause I knew it was snow cold. REALISTIC. Albert's gotta be beaming about now -
Thank you for sharing...
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
That engine is the 3208N Caterpillar engine, Ford kept caterpillar busy as Ford put these in alot of C-series and LN- series medium heavy duty vocational chassis, even alot of the fire trucks had these engines, then they improved it by coming out with the 3208T, I modified mine graphing a turbo and doing away with the Allison automatic transmission and had a spare main and auxiliary transmission from a parts kit and gave it a 5X4 twin stick setup, this is a tedious but awesome kit and you have done an outstanding job on this unit, and did your pop proud.
No Chris...you my friend are definitely FANTASTICAL! Awesome job once again!
Chris, that was an incredible tribute to your Father. I can relate to you as my Dad drove trucks from 1995-2003 and I lost him in 2008. Great build, can't wait to get one for myself!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Thanks Chris, to busy to build right now, but living vicariously through your videos. The only thing that tops your builds is your positive attitude.
Thanks, a hobby should be FUN!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Awesome build and a fine tribute to your Dad...!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Man, I just about lost it when I saw what the subject was. I drove a snow plow almost exactly like that, only difference was the color. Ours were an ugly bright yellow.. Great build, brought back some good memories.
Yeah, our city has the yellow trucks, parks dept green and Highway is all orange.
I drove a snow plow, I was a truck driver, heavy equipment operator in the Air Force, one snowy winters night I was plowing on the base streets when I heard "thunk" and a manhole cover went flying right by the drivers window, I was doing about 30 MPH, it flew off into the night and into the snow. I had to call the Air Police to come out and direct traffic around a big ole hole in the street until the cover was found and put back on. I never could figure out how it flipped up and over the blade, a year later I was in Asia where it was so hot I would have given two paychecks for an hour of snow.....
Great build Chris, love the weathering, awesome tribute to your Dad 👍👍
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
The salt spinner is IMPRESSIVE too!
Awesome build and wonderful tribute to your father!
What a great job my dad had a couple of dump truck bless his heart he was alwas working 12 hour days and then on the weekend he would repair whatever needed to be my father is no longer here but he loved his trucks.
Thanks James!
Chris your work is off the hook. Great tribute to your dad.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
I do enjoy watching you build these trucks. You do know how to make them look like work trucks. I've never tried to do any of mine like that, most of the trucks I build look show room new. Now I'm learning from you. I must give this a try. Thanks for teaching and sharing your skills. 👍
Boy this was a great build - it looks just like the plows I see going down my roads. Great job.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Great build Chris! A great tribute to your dad...my dad also passed 17 years ago...his name was Albert too and was in WWll...I had built a ME109 some 20 years ago and when he saw it asked if he could have it to put in his display case...I gave it to him and now it returned to me....keep up with the builds I enjoy seeing them!....thank you!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
This build is absolutely stupendous!
Man, it takes me back home where
I'm from... What memories!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
INCREDIBLE detail on the front blade!!
Great build. Lots of great tips. I'd like to give it a try since we are still in the throes of winter here. Another 10cm coming down today and possibly more tomorrow on top of the 90cm already down! Good inspiration for a plow build.
Another awesome build. Awesome tribute to your Dad.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
A BEAUTIFUL build!!.. Nice job adding all of the winter weathering and winter patina!!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
As you were building, I thought that the plow was too far away from the truck, but I realized it's set up for highway use, not city streets. Great work Chris, you really get what a working vehicle is supposed to look like. Your dad would be proud.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Ooof. By far I think one of your best builds. Really nice job, a tribute to your dad. So cool. Thanks
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Great build Chris! I drive a dump truck myself, so I recognize your keen eye for the details. This will definitely be 2 more kits for the stash, I'm glad you said it could be built as the single axle truck as well. The volunteer fire dept I belonged to for 20 yrs had a Ford tanker of this body style, that I will be replicating as well. Thanks for the excellent review!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Man that's just awesome, Chris. Perfect weathering, spot on! And those are the EXACT same colors as we have over here in my town. I didn't know you lived in Marathon county, head right through there on 29 to get to my sisters in De Pere, I'll wave as I pass next time I make the trek to see her. ;) Sorry to hear that your dad passed, he sounds like he was a cool guy. My dad ran the parks and rec department of the city that I now live in and in the winter, since you couldn't really do anything with the parks, he was in charge of the plow shop. So I got to go over to the garage and hang out with him, the mechanics and sometimes the drivers. Sat in many a plow just like that when I was little. I think this is one of your best builds.
Nice build. Love your different weathering techniques.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
I'm in the middle of this build, and I'm finding it more of an uphill battle than Chris. For one, though the parts are #erd, the instructions don't give call outs, but the pieces are well drawn, for the most part. The main stumbling block is the hydraulic assembly, the instructions are unclear, at best. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure it's gonna look great when it's done, and this example is inspiring to watch, came out great!
After a build like that you go to the store and restock because your out of paint. Great work as usual.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Amazing how you make every build interesting and hope you do these videos for a long time to come!👍👍👍👍👍🐈
Just got this kit , love your videos, great way to tribute to your dad , keep up the great build videos
Killer tribute build to your Pop!! Extremely well done Chris, true work of art!!!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
WOW!! A ton of parts with this kit!!
Absolutely a great build!! Love how you did the snow. And in only two days!! Great build Chris.
Glad you liked it!!
Really impressive work! This was the first time I've seen a model since I was a child hanging airplanes into dogfights from my bedroom ceiling. If only I had the ideas back then that you have given me in this video!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
A wonderful tribute to your father Chris. Well done sir!
Thanks for watching, I loved the kit! Appreciate the support and nice words!
Unreal job man , this is my first kit ever as I drove plow truck. Not one number adds up with the instructions, I’m totally going out on a whim on this build maybe one day I could be as good as you. Love your content
Very nicely built/weathered...Thank you for bringing these models (I especially like the big, class 8 trucks).
Glad you like them!
Awesome build. This is my second time watching this build. I wanted to revist this because i just scored this kit at the local hobby lobby. Im excited to get started on this.
UPDATED
Thank you, Chris. I lack the income to afford these kits, so I take merry satisfaction in watching your builds. I appreciate your practical voiceover explanation, and your exuberance. You impart to your models, especially this one, subtle nuances that make the verisimilitude veritably crackle! I can smell the Diesel exhaust and hear the throaty growl of the engine! (Is it Cummins? Detroit Diesel?)
I cannot drive, so I do not know: would one put chains on the tyres?
I personally would include this model in an interstate highway diorama with a fairly significant snowfall (round 20 cm, 8", in scale). Behind would be a convoy of passenger cars, commercial trucks, and tractor trailer rigs, all moving in cautious procession. At this scale, just a quarter-kilometre (820' 2.54") would be a little under 33 metres, or round 100 feet on a side--far too big for most homes (well, maybe Grayson Manor).
A table round 3 metres (roughly 10 ft) long and half that wide would be closer to what I have in mind. It would not be anytime soon, though.
I have lots of ideas, though no means to implement them. So, my enjoyment in this is in planning them.
Thanks for watching!
What fun ! Awesome build Chris. Blinding speed !
Glad you enjoyed it!
AWESOME build as usual! You really did this one right! Your dad would be proud!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Looks like she's all ready to tackle the next big snow storm!
Albert's truck looks great, the snow effects really work
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
A sweet build and subject Chris. We never see these in most of Oz which makes the Snow Truck just that more exotic for me.
Yeah and this is a 'small' one. Takes bigger trucks for the interstates, etc. Dad usually had a quad axle with belly blade, two wing blades and a center blade. For throwing snow way off the road he'd use a truck like this with the funnel blade.
Nice Memory and you built it. Looks Awesome 👍
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Great result. Your snow and weather/tear effect make the model one of your most realistic-
Thank you very much!
Fantastic build, Chris. I really think it came out great. I have a couple of the order issues of this kit in the stash so I probably won't be picking this one up, but I must say that I do like the new decals!
Great build of an honest work truck and not a show pony a fitting tribute Chris
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
I guess "fiddley" is a good word for this model.. lol.. The worst part is that the part numbers are not on the instructions.. It's totally by the look of the part.. You may have mentioned it and I missed it.. Some parts are tough with older eyes.. lol.. I'm 55 and just got back into model building after a 45 year break.. This is my 13th since I started again.. Thank you for your videos and keeping the hobby alive.. You sir are part of the reason I started building again.. I had been thinking about it and started watching videos on YT and I liked the way you did yours so, here I am subbed and still watching.. Again.. Thank You.
Thanks a lot for watching and coming along for the fun!
Nice job on the weathering.. It makes a more realistic appearance...
Awesome!!!! I live in Rockford Illinois and their plow and city trucks are white. The Plow truck beds are unpainted metal with liquid tanks on each side of the outside of the bed and the plows have wheels instead of metal skids. The plow trucks have strobe lights or strobing LED lights on the cab and back of the dump bed. Rockford Illinois is part of the Stateline Area since it's close to the Illinois / Wisconsin State Line. =^.^=
VERY nice Chris. I would build a tribute for my father, but I don’t have enough room for a WW2 battleship machine shop in my model room.
I have always loved the snow, early morning dark snow, I can just imagine your Pop starting her up in the garage, and getting out on the route. They say you can’t go back, but you did a fine job my friend.
Please continue to build, the stash will never end ! Take care.
Thanks a lot!
Awesome build, great weathering you did. I am glad that the tractor parts are included too!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
A beautiful tribute to your Dad.
Thanks!
Getting back into building models since the lockdown went into place. Recently found your channel and enjoy your videos. This was my favorite so far!
Awesome, thank you!
You are a mean man with a spray can!
Thanks!
I want to build this just for the dump truck aspect. I don’t care much about the snow plow attachments. Doesn’t snow where I live, lol!
If you're lucky enough to live in a snowplow-free environment, think of the conversation starter it could be...
Chris eddy oh you know what I mean. Where I live, we hardly ever get snow. We only use salters (if that is such a word) that will spread salt onto patches of ice on the roads. Back then, they used graders to plow snow off roads.
And these are the little ones.
They use quad axles with belly blades, center blade and two wing blades to do a lot of the work around here.
Then they go to graders and massive front end loader mounted snowblowers.
Another outstanding build. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm!
Very kool as always man. Might have to get me one of those.
What a great build and finish. Fantastic.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Another great truck. Saw allot of Fords too. More of the cabover versions. Fun to see this one!
Glad you liked it!
You make this look so easy. I have this truck and have not started the build yet. Love the work you do.
You can do it!
Wow, amazing detail. Love it!!!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Cool build and a great tribute Chris!
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Awesome build and tribute to your father
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Fairly new subscriber who has already watched a lot of your videos and enjoyed them all. This build in this video is amazingly great. At 56, I have returned to the hobby! Thanks for all the supe content!
Very nice. Cool idea with the snow/salt.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
This has helped me out a lot with my kits thanks
I live in a place, tropical, love this build.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Take a photo of that outside on a snowy day, with some forced perspective, and you will never know it is a model kit. Fantastic job, bravo!!!
I agree! As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Very nice build. Working on one now, my 1st dump truck build.
Good luck!
nice build chris, I've always liked these AMT truck kits
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Sounds like your dad was cool. I remember you had built a blue charger for him. Awesome build, as always
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Great stuff chris, the weathering effects certainly set it off 👍👍😊
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Love when he says, "if your that inept".
a minnesota salt shaker.....love the weathering details
Around here, these trucks are known as "snow angels" because we wait to hear one running before we go out, and let it clear the way out in front. Great kit! 👍
Interesting!
That's a great kit, I made a belly Plow for mine out of styrene because most of the trucks here have them 👍
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Really nice build I must say buddy!!! I can relate to yur story because my dad drove a plow all his life for Penn dot and I remember riding in that Ford then he move up to to a mack...thanks I also believe he's up there with the Lord doing the same thing my brother. God bless u and keep building.💞🙏
Thanks man!
looks really great, only thing I would add would be to dirty the glass a bit too
Maybe add a lunch pail and an old Thermos in the cab, eh?
Great vid. I just got it a week ago. Keep them coming.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Very nice job on the plow . Extremely real looking for only two days work Bravo !! I love your energy and love for the hobby.
Thanks man, and thanks for watching!
Ford did well with these old trucks I have to drive one everyday she wont even do 55 mph but it will pull a house down
Thanks Chris. That is really fine.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Another great build Chris, a very fitting tribute to your dad! I didn't know Tamiya made a snow effects mixtures. I'm going to pick some up for my military dioramas. Thanks for doing the video.
As always, thanks for watching and taking part in the channel!
Just an idea, as far as stripping Chrome, I use Purple Power, this stuff will dechrome and also remove paint and will not damage clear parts or styrene, I have a Homer Home Depot bucket full of this and with wire and a Maxwell house plastic can I made a purforated dip bucket once I get the results I want, I then allow the dip bucket to drain and go to the sink and use green Dawn detergent and a toothbrush and scrub all my parts. I've used alot of different techniques over several decades but I found this to be pretty good and the best part is you can leave parts in the solution for ever and will not attack parts
