My uncle started out with an L8000 like this one but it had a 3208 CAT in it. Tough trucks for their size, and the cabs had a lot of room too.

I drove a L8000 in my early years..it had the round headlights and a 3208 (cat 210 hp) in it that smoked like it was on fire when it was started first thing on a cold morning.. Thanx for the ride along 👍

Those old Louisville Fords were tough trucks. I had a 73 880 that had a 534 gas with a 5x3 trans. It had double bunks on it and we hauled 8ft post or 18 ft pulpwood on it. The gas engine only got 3.1 mpg and converted that gas into a lot of noise. It was geared low 3200 was 55 mph 3500 was redline. It out pulled 427 Chevys loaded but even their long stroke truck version wound up quicker than the big Ford did.

I have a Ford F-800 as well as a M923A2,M931A2,& M936A2 with the 8.3L 6CT.I have 240 HP/592 lbs of Torque for all of mine,the 12 Valve is one hell of a bulletproof Engine.Alot of competition drag trucks use 8.3L's and they can be far fetched as high as 1,000-1,400 HP being fully built.Even though they stay with their life span at 300 HP or lower,and alot of them don't like more than 40 Psi of Boost from a Turbo,espiecally if you try to run 2,500-2,700 RPM or more,which a different Governor Spring can help with that.I keep mine around 2,200 RPM and the H1E in my M923A2 does 18 Psi of Boost.
