    The CL-9000 really was cutting edge when it was introduced.

    Beautiful truck. I used to drive one from LA - New Jersey. Back in the 80's. I loved it.

    I used to drive a CL 9000 like this one back in the 80s, and the ride was way ahead of its time. Ford had a good thing going at the time.

    LOL I love it! That faux leather steering wheel cover w/boondoggle is the same one I have on my 2012 Silverado. I put it on after the factory leather turned to stone LOL. Also the same thing I had on all my 70's, 80's and 90's trucks! They are still available on Amazon, and are less than $10! Still going strong! Thanks for the memories!! 8) Peace --gary

    We had several of these cabovers when I was a teen. I’d use them to hook up to trailers and bring them into the shop to be greased. These cabs would tilt side to side and scare the ba-jeezus outta me. I’ll always remember that

    O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 This is one sweet looking old rig & I sure appreciate the story behind it….I saw it, liked it, made a deal & bought it. Simple enough. Love the Cat engine! Original tucks are always appreciated as well, but I sure hope he restores it! It doesn’t look bad, but it does deserve to be given more love & maybe enough to look even better than new. I bet you enjoyed driving it. I bought my brother’s CL9000, but I haven’t driven it yet. Looking forward to doing that in the future! Thanks for sharing my friend! Blessings. 🥰🤩✌️

    Awesome truck! I believe those and the Mack MH cabover had the same setup where the cab rode on airbags. I heard that both rode like on a cloud but were a bit scary in turns because it felt like the truck was going to lay over on it's side.

    Is that the double bunk version Red ?
