[@cliby25]

I cant help but keep listening to that loadstar in the intro

[@davidharrell8890]

Very mean sounding, but clean looking truck. 💯👍👍

[@robstruckshop80]

Thank you!

[@cliby25]

Lovely Ford L8000. She sounds angry and ready for work

[@robstruckshop80]

That was my goal, walk the fine line between a Show truck and a work truck

[@gwstonemason]

Nice one Rob, trucks looking and sounding great.

[@robstruckshop80]

Thanks Geof. She’s almost there

[@95aeroboy]

been watching this build since you started it on you tube... i missed the painting video or something.... looks good.

[@bradlewellen7461]

Looking good you've done an awsome job on the old girl. I looked into the L9000 at work unfortunately its rotted beyond doing anything with it and the motor is see thru ... lol

[@robstruckshop80]

That’s too bad. Gotta watch out for those see through motors 😂

[@Freesavh1776]

Absolutely beautiful Lil 9 ❤️. I cut my green teeth on a '95 L9000 dump truck with a 3406. And the sound man. Oh man the sound. I miss how good the sleep is in a idling truck in the sleeper 😭. But I agree with the other guy. Make a mp3 of that beautiful girl running around the roads. I'd buy that for a dollar 😁😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣. Great job man. Keep it going 🇺🇸.

[@robstruckshop80]

Rltgank you, I appreciate that

[@aaronerskine3401]

can you produce a soundtrack of just shifting -- i could go to sleep at night listening to the purr of that diesel

[@robstruckshop80]

Ha ha, a lot of people seem to feel the same way

[@fuddmethen]

great videos! try not to range select in neutral, you’ll have to split the back box to repair it the $8 part it wrecks

[@robstruckshop80]

The transmission will only allow range shifts to happen in neutral, so it’s more that I tend to forget to pre-select the range and then am waiting on the range synchros to catch up while in neutral. Thank you for watching

[@fuddmethen]

@@robstruckshop80 right Eaton Fuller transmissions only allow it to change range in neutral position, and they say to always pre select range. You’ll get it, just have to pay a little more attention to whether your about to upshift to high range or go back to low range.

Good Morning Ive been watching many of your videos and I came across this one where @:13 sec mark there is a white s series International school bus that I need the headlight trim buckets they are aluminum can you post contact info for that junk yard thanks man ! you motivated me to get back to work on a dt 466 project

[@robstruckshop80]

I bought that bus from the junkyard and parted it out but I do still have the hood. I don’t want to sell the headlight assemblies separately but i’m selling the hood for cheap. Email me at [e-mail] if you’re interested

[@markbroad119]

Do you ever use the gooseneck ball on the back?

[@robstruckshop80]

I’ve used it a couple times for my camper that has a gooseball hitch, but mostly I welded it in because I wanted to have the ability to pull one if I ever need to…. “Just in case”

[@NoShowT]

What’s the insurance cost on that truck? Thinking about getting one for a tow rig.

[@robstruckshop80]

On our commercial policy it’s about $1200/year. You could also do historic Insurance through Haggerty, would be about $400/year for 20k in value but historiccpkates and insurance technically limit how much you can drive and what you can haul.

[@jr-fy7hh]

Daamm my dad would killed mee doing that ddrriind

[@harrykendall5549]

Looks really good. The truck seams like it pulls really well .how does it feel with a load on

[@robstruckshop80]

It’s actually a bit bouncy and tougher to drive as a bobtail- with the pump turned up the throttle gets slightly touchy. But with a load on it smooths right out. That’s only about 26000 behind her but it pulls mild Michigan grades just fine and runs out to 70 mph now when needed.

[@minitrucks9994]

Do you own your own company? And what engine is in it

[@robstruckshop80]

Part owner, yes. It’s an L10 Cummins

[@pabloandrade8310]

Hello, where can you get a job for a professional heavy machinery operator? In what city in the USA?

[@robstruckshop80]

No idea, you’ll have to look
