Abandoned 1983 Ford LTL 9000 - Big Cam NTC400 Will it start?

[@minnesotatomcat]

A buddy of mine has his own little excavating/dirt work business and has one of those old ferds in dump truck form. He keeps it beautiful, had it for decades, checks the fluids every morning, regular maintenance……and then she spun a bearing on him 🤣 dirty devil!

[@goratgo1970]

Aw, dang - give that much love to only get kicked by it!

[@Ol2Stroker]

Good excuse to repower with an 8v92!!

[@shauncooper9650]

A once over of the wrecker would be great. That thing is awesome

[@gullreefclub]

Do a search for Holmes 650/750 tow truck/wrecker. I have driven trucks with Holmes 650 (20Ton) wrecker on them and Holmes 750 (25 Ton) wrecker on them and they are awesome as well as being as tough as woodpecker lips.

My dad let me drive one like that one night when I turned 16 on the interstate 8V92 13spd I was hooked I'm 62 and retired and miss driving alot

Badass! They're hard to find with 92 power

WAKE YOU BOYS! There's a new ol2stroker video. It's time to watch Wayne struggle while working on junk. With the majority of us to far away to come give a hand.

Sometimes watching Jimmy run around there it seems as if he's watching you shaking his head and thinking WTF is he doing. Good show even without missing footage. Thanks.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Jimmy's the best!!

[@DanEBoyd]

Love how you all just move these trucks all around like it's no big deal - and I realize that it isn't, for real truck fans. That tow rig kicks ass, and that's a damn fine looking LN!!!!

It is for sure a pile of work dealing with these turds!

I love the ford 9000 ltl, i wish you could bring it back to its glory

[@Ol2Stroker]

Me too

[@brianbishop3562]

In my opinion those Ford LTL 9000 were a good-looking truck and the tow truck pulling it in there don't look bad either

[@DougsterWolverineGarage]

This is my childhood hands down favorite Ford AMERICAN BUMPER in Ionia MI. Had a fleet of six white l9000 like this they would drive through my little burg on their way north to retrieve stampings from next town north in the morning while I would wait for the bus. Usually see one or two a day for a while and one special day all 6 cruised by! I was in hog heaven.. '90 or '91

[@sleepervega71hill28]

Hello Wayne! I sold furniture door to door until 2005ish! We were the few that went long driveways. Always made customers happy. Never gipped anyone. Surprised I didn't meet you!

[@edvisser3629]

Nothing better than that neway suspension...just that is a find ....Beautiful western star ..every man should own one who plays with this stuff

[@HammerPowered]

I'm with you, the LTL's just have a good look, always been a favorite of mine. Like others have said, that White Western Star tow truck is just mint. Loved to see that.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Me too!

[@alangovan1852]

Brilliant Wayne just love watching your escapades, keep them coming man

[@2dogsmowing]

"Had to have it." As I'm sitting here thinking to myself, " Wayne, what have you gotten yourself into this time." 😅

[@Ol2Stroker]

Seriously. 🤦🤦🤦

[@2dogsmowing]

@Ol2Stroker oh, but of course. I get a kick out of the stuff you get. I've been asked before, what are you going to do with that or do you really need that or my favorite, what are you looking to by now. My favorite answer to the last one is, " I don't know till I see it." Doing the marketplace scroll. I have my far share of junk. My stuff is the size of hot wheels car compared to you having Tonka trucks. Lol

That wrecker looked bad ass!!

[@willyphast2509]

we always liked the gauge pack on those 9000s. switch panal as well,

[@67moosic]

Old cummins tend to smoke until worked some. You can run a short wire jumper from the starter to the shut off selenoid to bypass the finicky ignition switch.

[@robdixon945]

Thanks for the show Wayne 🍻 🇦🇺

[@Burnsidef250]

Bought an 85 LTL9000 in the same color as that one last summer. Has a 3406B and a horseshoe 9 speed

Point being. We love our trucks and truck-life.

[@joecummings1260]

I've got one of them sitting right here in my garage. It's been a great truck. I think I've had it 16 years. 270k miles on it. Hey that Western Star with the Holmes 750 on it and the Detroit power. That looks like the perfect truck for you. Did you????????? BTW all that white smoke, it seems like it's late. Did someone put a Step Time motor in it?

[@Ol2Stroker]

I dunno what step time is, and I didn't buy the wrecker but it wasn't for lack of tryin!

[@joecummings1260]

@@Ol2Stroker step timing control or STC was what they did to the big cam right before they started making the N14. It was some kind of early attempt at emission control. Is the fuel rail pressure increased it retarded the fuel injection timing. Sometimes it screwed up and the timing stayed retarded even at low fuel rail pressures like when your idling. The late timing would make a lot of white smoke at idle

[@davidsimons6881]

Wayne a few observations first I hope that was a package deal with the sweet WS wrecker. And Cummins is new to the channel! Are you feeling ok? lol.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I wish I could talk him outa that wrecker i loved it!!

[@JeronWhite]

A good stroy😊

[@crusiethmaximuss]

I love the FORD LTL design, too, because it looks like it has plenty of room in the engine bay to fit a Scania V8 with a supercharger on it and turbochargers. If I had the spaceand a ton of greenbacks, I'd be makin' a custom rustbucket ratrod rig out of one. Kinda like a mix between the Peterbilt narrow nose from the movie Duel (1971) and an Aussie/Kiwi roadtrain look. A freakin' American/Swedish Frankenstein truck. Oooh, with a firetruck horn too like the mini COE from Jeepers Creepers. A Wolo Chief if memory serves. Haha.

What constitutes a “big cam” engine. Obviously it is a bigger camshaft, but how much bigger? And how do you know? When I hear “big cam” I am always reminded of the term “3/4 race cam” on old cars.

[@stansdds]

A vintage truck being towed by a vintage truck, how awesome is that? Oh, wait, I just called those trucks "vintage" and I'm older than either of those trucks! That is one way cool Western Star. So, what are we working on today? Not just junk, Ford junk! Ford L-series is a bit strange. It seems Ford designed them to only use V-8 gasoline or diesel engines. To get the highly popular Cummins inline 6 into the L-series, the engine has to be tilted slightly onto its right side. Ford engineering. They were built Ford tough, with steel cabs that rusted out. Woohoo! A Greta cameo appearance. LOL! Yeah, it smokes... a little. Yep, shake hands with danger, it's not fun unless danger is involved. I agree, parts truck, it would take a lot of money and time to make it a road worthy truck, but it has plenty of usable parts.
