What a great man. His unselfish service to veterans shows such strength. Vietnam Veterans deserve so much more.

[@user-zq5co3br4n]

Been a fan of Macks and Fords since I was taught to drive trucks 1976...18 years old...weaned on dual stick shifts...loved it.

[@colsonmyers9338]

What a gorgeous ltl in my top 10 favorites. One of the most underrated conventionals!

[@porkchop359]

Shit man Ford's were totally underrated , damn good trucks

[@johnbarr4472]

Love them Big Ford LTLs !!! 💯💯💯💯

[@johnq.customer8027]

Awesome ride Sir. As a Vet, I thank you for your service. I was born in a different time. Too young for Nam but too old for Desert Storm. I still served as did my Father and my younger Brother. None of us regret a minute of it. Thank you for your service.

When I went to Alberta In 08 I got a job driving a 1982 ltl dump truck with 3406b and 15 overdrive

I'd buy a truck like this if I could find one, LTL or CL. Great interview, what a time capsule. Love the paint scheme and the interior.

Mo, Welcome Home and thank you for your dedication to our Nation. From one brother to another.

[@philosophyoftrucking]

He put it beautifully. Sometimes I wonder if I will always have a truck leased on with Landstar.

[@MarshallHollar]

Thanks for your service

[@raymondbermudez2920]

I wish ford semi trucks was still being made

[@erikbunty2016]

It went to Sterling, and Sterling was swallowed up by Freightliner.

[@JohnSmith-cf4gn]

I started out in cabovers in 1980. I have always preferred cabovers. They are more fun to drive and you can look down on conventionals even. Driving a cabover at night for the first time is interesting, it really looks different and you have to adjust to it.

[@MichaelKorsaknov-eh8gd]

Very cool ❤

[@stevestar657]

Such a great story behind the purchase of this truck and the original owner, plus this gentleman's service and dedication! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@MissFlatbedRed]

[@jorgealejandromartinezhern6239]

Buenos días desde ciudad juarez chihuahua!! Muy buenos tus videos sigue así muy bien

[@johngrabowski2957]

I learned in an 86 ltl9000 in 1992!!!

[@genefogarty5395]

Always gave me a chuckle to see a GM powering a Ford. One of the best looking conventional trucks ever made though.

[@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980]

3.73 rears!? That truck definitely has a high top speed! Probably triple digit capable. It's almost unheard of for those rear ends in a new truck.

[@matthewkabanuk443]

@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980 Running 3.73/3.70s or 3.90s are really great. You can run at speed limits in direct with your 13 speed when loaded without stressing the transmission the least. Then when empty, you can shift up into the overdrive and fly like the wind. 3.55s have been rather legendary regarding “triple digit speeds”. Couple trucks back in the day had them factory but they were quite rare. Often the taller gears require more hp if you’re trying to sling steeper overdrive gears through it. Fleets in the late 70s would order 3.70 rears so they could tie it with a 9 or 10 speed direct drive transmission (non-overdrive) and a 1600 or 1800 rpm capped fuel sipping diesel while still maintaining speed limits. The early 90s brought the availability of 3.36 rears; quite steep but most were tied to a direct drive transmission.

[@ONTHEEDGEFRED]

Nice looking truck. Funny that nobody mentions the Fuel tanks. Tremendous fuel capacity.

[@Derrell404]

You know what I never knew ford used to make big rigs

[@MissFlatbedRed]

I have a whole playlist of them and more to come when I can get them edited!

[@7viewerlogic670]

[@MissFlatbedRed]

[@terrysteelman6860]

8v92 tt 435 horsepower I had one in 79 Freightliner

[@Bluebottlenose]

If you said “it has under 500k miles” to a car collector with a happy they would think you where out of your mind

[@user-sg3iu2vz3y]

🤘⚡️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤

[@sylvanos44]

I never understood why Ford had the windshield wipers reversed.

[@erikbunty2016]

For these semis and some medium duty one, too. I don't know. When they redesigned it, though, I think in the late 90s or early 2000s, still under the Ford brand before they became Sterling, the wipers were made like all the other Fords at the time.
