I drove an LTL9000 back in the late 80's for a broker up here in Quebec Canada running eastern seaboard, 10 speed 350 Cummins . Really brings back my memory of those old trucks. Thanks.
God I love those LTL 9000 trucks they look so good and now I understand why those f100 pickup trucks look so nice because they have that similar grille look to them
An 87'LTL 9000 kept me safe during a roll over after being head oned by another vehicle. Damn do I miss that truck!
I drove a Ford Transcontinental in the UK back in the day it had a Cummings 250 engine Eton 8 speed box l think and Rockwell drive axle, loved this truck and years ahead of it's time.
Now I gotta go watch "White Line Fever!" Good documentary on the classic Ford truck line-up, thanx.
Was thinking the same thing!
I seen that movie when it first came out, a good movie though the plot was kind of goofy, but some good trucks
roadway trucking had a whole line of them
That sounds like a cult movie. I'll have to check it out!
Thank you for your series. I'm a die hard Ford guy and really love the LTL. Really enjoyed this video! Keep them coming.
Randall Wescoat same love Ford since I was born I work for Ford and I drive a 2019 Ford F-350
Hey maddy, your voice/style of speeking is adorable.......
understandable, polite.....
very nice voice and acsent.
The CL9000 is my favorite truck of all times
Wow, I worked at Ford ktp for over 40, and I still learned something from you.. thanks for sharing
Yes, the Ford 'C" and Mack "N" series cabs were built by Budd, but the design and tooling were both produced in house and owned by Ford. Budd had to get license from Ford to produce the cab for Mack.
1974 LN9000 single axle day cab 290 Cummins 10spd Road ranger $22,000 new.
Ford LTL9000 is the best truck to come out of FORD "period"
Carrington Pettigrew Absolutely...best looking OTR Class 8 truck ever...
Absolutely dude..... agreed...
Say it again
Love Ford trucks. Great locking all of them.
I have reasons to miss them. I owned a Subaru repair business and needed more space than a single stall was giving so bought out a truck rental down the street from a guy who just got too old as his trucks were too. Other than one KW tow truck, he had all ford trucks and of various sizes an shapes. These trucks started mid fifties as pickups and went up from there to include a couple of the N' series and others, cab over, conventionals, and any probably shown in your video as it was quite a large collection in the best place possible as they were in anchorage ak and were the only rental of their kind meaning state and burough rented as well. Most were so tired I just sent them off to the crusher as body panels lacked a lot of looking like any ever made yet as I stripped them down removing fuel cells an tires, I noticed that some were real fine so parked them off to the side as we were moving right along an was on a tight schedule so no time to fiddle. Then when we opened the storage sheds to get them empty there it set a t model pick up in an about 1920 something as I didn't know them well then an hadn't driven the ford much as we were into big trucks. I grew fond of that l series as we had to that were low mile never put back in service so we did. Then we started selling them putting some of the car lots in town very angry as they never left the shop without good brakes, steering, glass an heat, and a color... most were maroon as that was the original color. We did have a l series truck there for a very short while and a bunch of people bidding it as it had the wet kit and slide back bed. and then the wheel lift but it was not so much a wrecker as the wheelbase wasn't all that much but it moved heavy containers and trailers, Not lowboy... a have to see thing. I kinda hoped for a couple thousand with all the interest but a guy from the lower forty eight bought it and surprise, it went for ten grand. He never asked for the high bid but laid his money down and said he was here to take her home... seeing the person connection I sold it to him.
Man I get up around these things and they are hands down my favorite heavy trucks. The first class 8 I ever drove was a N model and my favorite has been a toss up between the CL9000 and the LTL9000. I personally have two N models now that are car haulers and I wish I could get my hands on a CL but there isn’t enough money or time on the day.
No H series?
I heard that the reason Ford got out of the heavy truck business was because they weren't making any money on them. The biggest part of their sales was to large fleets who only ordered strpped down models withe no options. No money in that. And at the same time the new super duty F250 pick ups sales were booming and the need the factoy space.
The engine in the LTL9000 was mounted at a 6 degree angle to accommodate the air intake that was molded into the hood. Even without the external stainless air cleaners being available the truck was still gorgeous!
The real reason for the 6 degrees of tilt on tall inline motors was to gain more foot room for the driver, not to meet up with the air intake. The cab was designed with a dog house that was needed for back of engine clearance.
@@ddintheshop I distinctly recall standing at KTP (Kentucky Truck Plant) discussing the engine tilt with an engineer. So I would disagree with you Sir
Ford Trucks are cool. Plus from a mechanic's point of view they are relatively easy to maintain.
I miss fords semis 😢😢😢
I do to Stanley ther were awesome
There is one that runs locally here hauling logs.It used to be a wrecker. It has a 15 speed,Im uncertain of the engine. Its an LTL 9000.
Me too especially the cabovers
I knew an old dude with a Ford dump truck that said F-7000 on the hood. He claimed he special ordered it and it was an F-700 with a Caterpillar engine. So they added the extra 0. Pretty cool if it's true.
Diesel got an extra 0 while gas had just two.
Donald Shimkus same as in Australia F800 was gasoline,F8000 was diesel,
i personally wish that Ford would make big rig trucks again because the only modern version of a Ford big rig that have ever seen was the matchbox version
The C-Series cabovers were built for so long - From the late 50's to the late 80's (or early 90's, I can't remember). They must have done something right to build it that long. I never have seen the Mack versions - this surprised me. Thanks for a good episode.
57 to 91?
true the Mack COE was only built for like 5yrs where the Ford kept pushing until it got replaced by the F800
Congrats on 20K!
I learned to drive trucks on a 69 N series,180 Cummins 5x4 sure was slow...however very tough.!!!
Nothing better than an old cabover that hump is a great place to nap, use for a desk and dining table. The only reason they quit building them is the mega companies that have squeezed out the little man
love the intro guitar
Love older trucks with pick up cabs
Those LTL 9000 and CL 9000 models are very sharp looking trucks 😎
Sadly we didn't get those in Europe, we have only D-series, Cargo and Transcontinental which had Cummins/Fuller power line with Berliet/Renault cab.
And the transconti had a louisville chassis...great truck here in europe
Love these videos! Thanks for producing them.
Always good informational videos.....you forgot about sterling....it looks like the ford truck.....and also the gmc cabover...looks like the ford and mack that u were comparing...the older looking ones you showed like yhe red cabover mack
I bet you didn’t know there was a Low Roof CrewCab N series available in 1966 on a 212” WB. Built in Louisville too.
4:32 the international cargo star was also similar
Ford LTL-9000 is the best looking OTR truck ever. Here’s one in action against a Pete...czcams.com/video/zd6X-xZpD64/video.html
The narrator has a Lovely Voice!!
Cabovers and conventionals can be separated easy. If you need to bind and tie everything in a cabin before you like to replace a filter - this is a cabover. So what's about that Ford? By the way, that single scene with a flying Ford, cost about 50% of a movie budget )
Thank u
The first truck I got paid to drive was a CL 9000.
I’ve seen some of these used as tow trucks.
My grandpa had a 1973. Ford L series dump trucks when i was a little boy
CL 9000 is in snowrunner
I drove a 77 WT 9000 and it had a great heater better than a 77 KW or Pete
Ahem. Any mention of the Light blue LTL9000 in Mudrunner?
The F 100 was only made until 1974. 75 and up they went to F150 making them a little heavier in modifications 😮
I still can't believe you didn't mention the oddest Ford of all, the twin engine, flathead V8 cabover, tri-axle, used by the military in WW2. Not much is known about these trucks, but as far as I know, they were used to pull vans, that were 50' or more, hauling pre-fabricated wings for the B-24 bomber to another plant for assembly. Apparently, they had dual drive trains, each driving one of two drive axles. Must have been a handfull, running two sticks with two clutches!!
Nice clear fluent English speaking
she s a meathead. she said the Dodge Lil Red Express Truck was the Lowered Express Truck
I love the L-series grilles, and the similar 1985-'87 style of Ford F-series trucks.
I suspect the Ford N series was released to compete with the GMC B series trucks. 6066gmcguy.com/Bmodel.html
This was interesting
Want a picture got 1 down the road and it's a duel axles 1964? And its a auction hopefully no other bidders
Tootsietoy made the N-series in diecast
there is a couple 9000 here still used!
Early C series had quad headlights
Ford no longer makes big semis as they haven't since 1997 when the line went to Sterling trucks
Even Sterling is gone as of 2009!
For some reason for did a dumb thing they actually sold out to Freightliner Freightliner made the Sterling
@@boboren8246 well the older Sterlings are just FORDS
you can tell cause the Ford oval shape is still in the grill they just have a S there now
You never see these old trucks around. Were they not very reliable?
Carrol Jo Hummer!
Ford semis had issues with keeping some components , such as starters and alternator as a ford product only. 425 cat in any other truck had the same parts but not Ford
Always liked the N model. My dad drove one for Mobil Oil.
Knew a couple of truckers that had a clt9000 cabover with a air ride cab and ltl9000 both of them had cats
Loved my 78 CL 9000 Ford
I really hated working on them!
One about Dodge Trucks adding gathering that these continued to be manufactured in Mexico and Australia please🙏🏼🐏🐏🐏
Dodge trucks, except for the BIG HORN were some ugly trucks
What about the Aeromax LTL9000? I owned a 91 and it was one of my favorite trucks. It was the only truck I knew of that came from the factory with full air ride can, & suspension, including the front axle. It's too bad I hit an elk with it and it got totaled, or is probably still have it today.
You also didn't mention the changeover to Sterling in the mid 90's then being bought by Freightliner and discontinued all together. I know you're PACCAR fans, but you did an incomplete history of Ford heavy trucks.
Makes my E-250 seem like a toy.
Hex-AG-onal lol Hex-A-Gonal
she s a meathead. she said "restorators and recollectors" when its restorers and collectors
Want a over the road truck get a PETERBUILT, want a work truck get a MACK.
For cabovers, ugliest trucks on the road. With the best ride. My dad had two 1962 cab over Ford class 8 two axle trucks, 262 Cummins motors and spring ride suspensions. You thought you were floating on a cloud !!
I guess you are willing to over look just how ugly of a truck Dodge use to make their cabovers in particular!
#1 They have a self-destruct button. It's standard on all ford vehicles.
Always seemed odd that Fords often came with GM power... of GM power was in everything at one time or another
Detroit Diesel was a GM engine, now it's owned by Freightliner
Ford also used Cat, and Cummins , not owned by GM
@@bertgrau9246 yes,I know. It just seemed ironic that Ford and GM were always rivals but Ford would used GM power. Sorta like a GM power in a Cat dozer or Cat in Terex.
Im a L series junkie 👍
Do a video on MAN Trucks made in Europe. Please,
I have known that Frod builds it's Trucks Tuffs ,
they produced 43,000,000 that's 43 million Tuff trucks in the last 40 years ,
so where did 43 million Tuff trucks go to ? they certainly are not still around , you very rarely even see one , Oh that's right , all of these Tuff trucks went to visit the car crusher
Jim,
Those were pick up trucks
Bert Grau , and Frod didn't use the same iron , steel and engines in the big trucks as the pickups ?
Then where are all the bigger semi-Trucks too ? ,
they are built so Dam tuff and in Frod Factory production line , that's right these same pieces of Frod Shit went to the same car crushers
what a rip off I already knew all the stuff in the video
