In my opinion, you have a Real Truck, and you did an excellent explanation. These `old Trucks` have much more charm. and manual shifting is the way it should be. Modern trucks might be very `safe` and luxurious, but charm? NO!
I remember those being much more common, same with cab overs back when i still had one digit age bracket. Well early two digit as well. But yeah, it's weird how things that were about everywhere and you remember them as such, now are like seeing a rare gem. Enough that when you do see them, you get a little of that warmth from nostalgia.
In the 80s I drove a Ford tractor with a Detroit Diesel and a 10 speed Road Ranger, that old Detroit could make some sounds as you worked that Road Ranger !!!
FSC Trucking here on UA-cam just bought a Ford 9000 cabover and is rebuilding it. He needs a engine, another axel added to it and who knows what else. He drives a 84’ Peterbilt Cabover as his everyday truck for loads. Your truck looks good and sounds great too.
I dont even drive trucks but I find this video super interesting. I guess its just like watching a piece of history with all the old equipment and train yards and stuff and the location. and the shifting, I didnt know how to shift a truck but I do now lol
I love those Ford LTL9000 I was going to stop one day to see if truck was for sale I kept seeing it sitting in Langhorne Pa but there was no where to stop then I went by in my P/U truck and truck and wagon was gone glad to see it’s running and not rotting away good luck with the truck looks great and sounds great
I love this video both for the truck, and because, working for SEPTA, I travelled all of these roads in the video pretty regularly when I was still on night shift in locomotive maintenance before I moved to my current position. Ironically enough, I came across this video and the sale ad for two entirely different reasons today. Great ride you've got!
Enjoyable video format. Placement of the camera 'in cab' is spot on . Those Louisvilles were never the smoothest riding truck and noticeable with the shaking passenger seat but the camera vision none the less is rock solid. Will be interested as you age if you grow weary of jammin' them gears , I did😂 For an old girl the truck looks real sharp.
What's up trucker Joe great video my friend the old blue truck looks good pulling that old trailer. Looks like you had a nice and easy move taking the trailer to its new home. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.
Nice ride you can't beat the old trucks. I started driving back in 1976. Sure do miss those times but right now I drive a 1986 Peterbilt 359 that's my every day truck I still love the old stuff hopefully you get a lot of fun miles out of it.
I would hate to see the covered wagon go. Thanks for putting a headliner in, the old girl deserves her headliner. I enjoy riding with you.. I miss the open road.. Thanks driver.
Don't really have an interest specifically about big trucks but the video about the cop telling you to stop on the hard back-in and this video held me long enough to where I think you earned a follower and gave me something new to learn about.
that big cam cummins sounds so sweet. are you still trying to sell it? the red truck is sweet too. i'm biased i love the fords r model macks and cabovers. i see a new truck like a cascadia i want to vomit. and dont get me started on automatics
@@DS00700 I never knew anything about them until I drove one! They are comfortable, roomy, and very nice to drive! The sleeper helps with the space of course! But even the LT9000 we have is quite roomy and comfy even with the big seat we have in it. But yea, can't complain at all! Love driving them like anything else I've driven! I'd say a Mack dm with the offset cab and a Kenworth t880 were my least favorite trucks I've ever driven lol
When you are bobtailing or dead heading you can skip gears when I was in my 10 speed bobtailing I would take off in forth go to high side then shift 6 8 10 if I had empty trailer I would shift 2 3 4 go to hi range then hit 6 8 10 and I did it smooth I also down shifted like that
Pretty sure ive seen this truck up close in philly before. These videos dont do it a justice. It looks 100x better in person. Even cooler that it goes to work every day.
Taking a wild guess at the year and 1986 is my guess. I owned a 1995 l9000 aeromax. Ford didn't change much in their design for years so the passengers seat rattling was WAY TOO FAMILIAR. If you pump up the passenger seat and hook the seat belt it doesn't rattle near as much.
what engine is in it? she sounds great edit: your shifting explanation is really good but you forgot to say that it was for trucks that don't have synchronizers like autos do edit 2: that's how we shift here in jamaica; super quick. some guys do it slow but most are just banging through gears and it's fun to hear
That’s such a unique and beautiful looking truck. I don’t know how, but it LOOKS like a Ford! Maybe a bit like a bullnose? Shame about the trailer though.
I have zero fuckin clue how I stumbled on your channel, but I’m from the Ridley area living in Philly and I recognize so many of the routes you’re driving. Not a huge truck guy, but I dig the content bro. Keep doin you🤟
So where is it you get all your parts? I have a 86 LTL & it’s not in bad shape but she’s not in good shape either. Really need pegs for the engine mounts & I need glass cause I broke my windshield tryin to fix my radio. Also need a/c components
You need to get a small sign on top of your Cab with the name of the steel facility you haul out of they always did that in Chicago not so much anymore I don’t know why I hauled out of Latham & Hickey steel in Bedford Park Illinois suburb of Chicago and my Dad drove for Eureka Cartage in Cicero Illinois Al Capones town his tractor had a sign on top that said INRYCO In Bedford Park they were the Rebar division of J.T. Ryerson steel Corporation any way stay safe out there thought you might enjoy that little tidbit of trivia
You can't explain it to skinny jean flip flop wearing leg on the dash new drivers just don't get it .nevermind a 2 stick, a straight 7,a road ranger9,a 12mack,asuper10,a13,or18 and many more a 18 with a 4sp auxilary
I owned 2 Ford LtLs 89 then a 93 both had cats if I had take a load to hell and back it would've been one of my Fords the other trucks I've owned over the where pretty good but not as tough as those two sure miss them should have kept the 93 long and tall
That was definitely some farmer's pride and joy rig! Great video!
It most definitely was! Thank you!

What a joy to drive.
The sound and feel of a powerful motor is an addictive thing.
Good looking truck.Those were some of my favorites along with the Ford cabovers. That’s one of the best sounding trucks I’ve heard in a long time
The clutch must be brand new, still shining 😂 thanks for the little lesson, love how this beast sounds
Love that old ford, when I get my cdl that’s the kind of truck I want to get 🤙🏼
Me too
I just love how the old belt driven air compressor sounds

Dude that intro was so satisfying watching you hook up to that trailer oml 👌
Man that interior looks cozy. I love it.
I dont even drive trucks but I find this video super interesting. I guess its just like watching a piece of history with all the old equipment and train yards and stuff and the location. and the shifting, I didnt know how to shift a truck but I do now lol
It's called progressive shifting, when you early shift on RPM and foot peddle slow shifts while floating through the gears at a steady slow pace
I love those Ford LTL9000 I was going to stop one day to see if truck was for sale I kept seeing it sitting in Langhorne Pa but there was no where to stop then I went by in my P/U truck and truck and wagon was gone glad to see it’s running and not rotting away good luck with the truck looks great and sounds great
Your great with explaining the shifting keep the videos and the explanations coming thank you
i wish i could hear this in real life! greetings from Finland!
I like that you put the headliner in. Cool video Joe
You and I both and thank you!

Shift at the right p m and save the clutch.. dad tought me that.. that was in the 1960’s you can tell when to shift.. that’s what he said 😊

Thats some smooth gear floating there sir 🫡
Never thought I’d say I enjoyed watching someone drive a truck but here I am enjoying this more than the food network while I have dinner.
I've lived in the area my entire life and have never seen this truck on the road... sounds incredible

You and I both, and your welcome, it was well overdue and I am glad I can bring you along for the ride! Plenty to come!
Love the sound of that motor awesome
Short shifting definitely works
I didn't even think of calling it short shifting hahaha I was so wrapped up in trying to explain it but it really does
Vendo seu vídeo aqui de uma cidade chamada Rio Grande da Serra,estado de São Paulo, Brasil 🇧🇷,Belo caminhão Parabéns.
I'm digging the Convoy, Rubber Duck truck, hood ornament.🦆🚛🤠

Yo Fr 😂😂 I just smoked so I got so zoned out in it lmaoo
Nice lesson on the gear jamming!! I always called that rattling the gears.
That's awesome looking ford and sounds great when you step on it.
God damn it, there is not anything else more enjoyable in this world as drive a semi
Nice! These old trucks are fun. I own a 73 MACK fire truck.
Nithin better thsn drivin a truck yu love. Oh hpe I miss it..
that big cam cummins sounds so sweet. are you still trying to sell it? the red truck is sweet too. i'm biased i love the fords r model macks and cabovers. i see a new truck like a cascadia i want to vomit. and dont get me started on automatics
Slow shifting definitely has its place so dose speed shifts
Totally agree!
I just watched yesterday’s video like 2 minutes ago lol can’t wait to see what all happens now
I appreciate you watching!
Love your videos 🤙 keep up the good work man!
That truck sounds amazing
Yes! Thank you!
I love this truck.
You and I both!
@@Only4Trucks Someday I would love to ride and/or drive one. Seems like Ford made that truck with the driver in mind.

Thats a great looking ford .Sounds mean 🤘
I had a ltl with kta 600,run like the wind
When I’m at our yard in Langhorne I load out of us steel right there first left over that bridge
Song exaust wow i love.👍👍👍👍
Your correct quick shift the low gears rather then starting out in 3rd gear you had a good teacher I saw say that because you look on the younger side
HELL YEA
Ur good teacher on shifting
That's crazy I feel like I'm back at work. I also drive a truck on 213, 413 and s Pennsylvania Ave.. I think I seen you once.
She sounds amazing ❤

we got to get you in something with some big jakes
Absolutely! I have been before and I hope to be again soon!
Hey you given up already dont do that you were putting out some excellent content. Hope your all good from New Zealand 😁🇬🇸👍
what engine is in it? she sounds great
edit: your shifting explanation is really good but you forgot to say that it was for trucks that don't have synchronizers like autos do
edit 2: that's how we shift here in jamaica; super quick. some guys do it slow but most are just banging through gears and it's fun to hear
I dont know why
Everytime i hear a fcking engine roaring
I can hear angels singin 😂
Pennsylvania pride!
Classic love it keep up the good work
Awesome video👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Short shifting is fun. Glad to see you like the hat. BTW your dad was razzing me the other day. How he enjoys the channel.
Man that's so cool man!
Thank you!!!
Man the first 5 minutes of this video was crazy
Hey Joe,,where you gonna go with that flatbed with canopy,,I am gonna lay it to rest. Lol ( sing it like Hendrix) lol
Hahahaha
That’s such a unique and beautiful looking truck. I don’t know how, but it LOOKS like a Ford! Maybe a bit like a bullnose?
Shame about the trailer though.
Automatics are gorgeous rookies
Well you just gained about sub. Thanks for the great ride along!! 👌
Thank you! I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed

It’s the headliner for me 🥹
♥️😂
A big 10.4 brotha
Big Cam 400 Cummins.
Hope all is well!🙌🏽👐🏽🍻🍻
She's a beaut for sure.
Beautiful truck always wanted one... not many left 😢
The blue truck sounds like amazing and the train horn is amazing. What kind of transmission is in the blue truck
I couldn't agree more! And it's an Eaton 9 speed with a low hole
Glad the headliner is in. Don't sell it. Hopefully the fourth of July was good.
Nice sounding Semi...
Would love to learn how to drive such a Semi...tried to earn my CDL...failed the dang CLASS A written test...😂😒😕
Are the knobs dragon balls or is that like an old school trucker thing? As always great video!
So where is it you get all your parts? I have a 86 LTL & it’s not in bad shape but she’s not in good shape either. Really need pegs for the engine mounts & I need glass cause I broke my windshield tryin to fix my radio. Also need a/c components
tell my the 9000 is still pounding down the highway
Nice truck!
2:52 thats was close
When this happens most the time I pull down hard on the trailer hand piece or try backup helps release the brake shoes
This trailer sat so long I didn't even think of that but I should have tried it
@@Only4Trucks that’s cool now you know for next time before you get out and roll around in the mud 😜😜😜
You need to get a small sign on top of your Cab with the name of the steel facility you haul out of they always did that in Chicago not so much anymore I don’t know why I hauled out of Latham & Hickey steel in Bedford Park Illinois suburb of Chicago and my Dad drove for Eureka Cartage in Cicero Illinois Al Capones town his tractor had a sign on top that said INRYCO In Bedford Park they were the Rebar division of J.T. Ryerson steel Corporation any way stay safe out there thought you might enjoy that little tidbit of trivia
Would it be possible / be a good idea skip the even gears in low? So to shift like L1 --> L3 --> L5 --> high range? At least when running empty.
2:54 horn time there buddy
You can't explain it to skinny jean flip flop wearing leg on the dash new drivers just don't get it .nevermind a 2 stick, a straight 7,a road ranger9,a 12mack,asuper10,a13,or18 and many more a 18 with a 4sp auxilary
Your absolutely right! 🤣
I owned 2 Ford LtLs 89 then a 93 both had cats if I had take a load to hell and back it would've been one of my Fords the other trucks I've owned over the where pretty good but not as tough as those two sure miss them should have kept the 93 long and tall
Le sont du moteur magnifique 👍
I miss shifting 😢
Super💪✌️
The greatest moment of my life was when I learned to shift without clutch in a Volkswagen transporter
Nice video 🤙🏻
Thank you!
does the Ferd have any jakes?
From the way you changing gears, im counting 12, right?
what was wrong with the trailer?
Hello, do you need a video editor?
This is what a Truck is supposed to sound like.
