Mike Britton’s 1986 Ford CL-9000 Cabover Truck Tour & Ride Along

[@deronwilliams338]

I remember seeing cab over trucks as little boy. I love them

[@Dabpuck-n8s]

I am from Harrisburg Illinois and I use to see that truck all the time and when I seen this video I thought could that be the truck from Illinois and it is it wow I'm so glad to see it saved

[@dangregg3189]

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

[@tommiller8416]

Drove in the 80's in NC, very nice truck

[@stansdds]

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

[@fairfaxcat1312]

[@lindaowens2657]

My husband loves these old trucks he says that his first trip to California was in one of them and he has always liked them sharp looking unit.

[@meatman3042]

My absolute favorite truck ever !

[@bryce1916]

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.

[@icare7151]

Thank you for another great video: Miss Flatbed Red, sweetest person ever!

[@crewchief8013]

Thanks, you two!!! What an awesome piece of trucking history!!! Always thought the CL-9000 was a good-looking truck!!!

Love em!

Red, one clean CL9000👍👍👍

[@AndrewJackson-mf5qp]

This truck has scrubbed up nice buddy. Nice one dude.

[@the.porter.productions]

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. 🥰🤩✌️

[@Rareoldtrucks]

Beautiful truck. I hope he keeps it like it is, just fix what is needed. Can’t replicate that paint again. Perfectly faded, cat power, neway. Awesome truck.

[@Butwhat1776]

Such a cool truck thanks for sharing

Super clean Ford.

My dad had a 79 it was beautiful back when Ford built real trucks.

[@modocroughstock5700]

Sweet piece.. good coverage

[@gtr1952]

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

[@neptuneskleinberg]

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

[@MissFlatbedRed]

Be sure to come back for the tour that goes live in 45 minutes then!!!

[@paulmetheny2126]

OUCH....🥺 I CAN FEEL IT ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE IN HOUSTON TEXAS. Nice video though, mNy thanks.🇨🇱🤠

[@rogerwestgate4724]

I vote leave it original for now have fun with it if you want to restore it after you can. Beautiful truck

[@neilmcintosh1200]

That is one classy truck, looking great in it's unrestored state.

[@a.k.a.A.E.1]

I love these dash boards ! I have see a picture in the 80ties with the complett truck family series by ford ! From the F-150 to the E and F 350 over the F -650 to the CL and LTL 9000 ! That was very impresiv

[@MissFlatbedRed]

[@acersalman8258]

Beautiful trucks ❤❤❤❤

[@JeronWhite]

A nice clean.truck

[@kman-mi7su]

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.

[@DriveTFY]

The red truck is slick! Update it but don't lose all the characteristics this truck has to offer!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Nice.

[@goratgo1970]

That an airride cab? Either one, hope they tilt it open for you. Be great to see chassis etc. One of the super COE's! A great choice MFR!

[@MissFlatbedRed]

You’ll be able to see it well enough without making the owner go to that trouble for a 6-minute video on a windy day. 👍

I so wish we got these CL 9000 in Australia but we never did, great injustice because Ford Semi’s had a big following in Australia. Is that the double bunk version Red ? Absolutely stunning Cheers Louis Kats from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺👍🇺🇸

Thankful somebody knew they had a scary ride , i drove one with a tanker and trust me it can be super scary to hit curves or brakes and worse at the same time . Wind is not your friend either 😅

As you can see here, Mike does a great job restoring cool trucks. But they’re only original once, which is why he’s torn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGfXqoqojZx4n6M
