Nice to see the vintage Ford 9000 cabover sharing the road with your Pete and getting some attention.

That is a clean and well kept Ford cabover!!! Beautiful truck

Ford "Hilton"....has air bags under all four corners of the cab. Like riding in a luxury car. Very cool design that was way ahead of its time. A friend of mine had one and we called it "The Hilton"

Drove a new 9000 in '79 and it wasn't too bad with Nuway air suspension and air ride trailer. Ford gave us an air ride cab model and all the team's got to make a trip with it. Fantastic ride but felt like the cab was going to fall off the frame when making turns. LOL

Awesome video! Beautiful Ford CL 9000 one of the most beautiful cabover ever made. Nice bumper on the Pete! Have a good one!

Wow, the Ford CL9000 takes me back. 350 Cummins, 13 Speed, hauling vans. Riding the turns was an experience I'll never forget.

Man the strap rollers are worth their weight in gold. I made my own when I was haulin roofing materials. Enjoyed the video Sir.

3:57 CLT9000... in the '80s the first truck I drove was the CL9000 with jifflock conversion...I pulled doubles mostly and on occasion 45' in the day

Hear that turbo!! I rode with my stepdad many miles in cabover!! I lovem!!! Especially his ford L9000 extended sleeper!! 1982!!! Beautiful too!! U can see right over the road!!!👍

My Grandfather had 2 international cab overs so happy too see the cab overs again been along time

They did you good hero. They put a Wisconsin cheese ad in your video.

Steve, you are in the wrong business! Time to be a movie editor for the big screen. You are a man of many talents. Stay safe and happy halloween!!

This is an awesome channel!

These fords set up a lot taller than any other cabovers!

These trucks remind me of road tripping the PA turnpike and 79 from Breezewood to Erie as a kid in the 80s and 90s. Made the trek several times a year to go to my grandparents. One small truck stop up 79 had "18-wheeler cinnamon rolls." Big as a dinner plate. Each table had a little flag to raise if you needed the waitress.

Nice, i used to drive trucks (I'm a union pacific conductor for the Chicago service unit. I've been to Butler and Adams, Wi a few times) i come to that Travel America sometimes when I'm in Indiana...i know it's off of Ripley rd. going north to rte 12. Safe travels!!

Greetings from Ohio! 🤩 Glad that you’re still rolling up and down the highway, safely! 😁 Those cabs have always had air ride, but when they first came out the airbags were located in a place where they were susceptible to exhaust heat and would blow. They changed them quick! That’s all I know about that issue. I’ve always liked that Ford style of cab and my brother has one now. Sweet truck! It has the Silver 92 Detroit engine. You know how I feel about cabovers...Cabovers Rule! 🥰 I enjoy your videos, as always! Stay safe, bro. 😎

Seeing the CL-9000 was great, air bag ride.There was a c.o.e. back in the 1970's and was a prototype built by American-Coleman named the Coleman Space Star.The cab did not tilt as the engine slid out the front on rollers & rails.It had 4 drive & 4 steer w/ single tires all around.The front was rounded, had a sleeper,an 8-V 71 and a closet for the mufflers and pipes.The tractor had locking pins on the back of the cab attaching the 27 ft. trailer & making it a twin steer straight pulling another 27 footer w/ singles also. Surprisingly in test w/ the combo loaded, the 8V- 71 managed to get 7 or 7.5 m.p.g.! The tractor also had an aero top letting the air flow smoothly.

Hey man your cat sounds so good that turbo very nice pete

CL 9000. I put many miles on behind the wheel until I upgraded to a K-100. Loved those tall cabovers

I live in the South of Vietnam, there's a lot of used US cab over trucks working here some still with livery on them. Orange paintwork and you guest it Schindler on the side, DOT markings etc. Liked the paint colour on the Ford but I bet it hurts being outclassed by a four lettered word. Just love the sound of your pipes, I bet their great in a tunnel. I dropped an exhaust off a Ford Thames Trader 3 tonner in a London road tunnel, of all things I was travelling under the River Thames at the time not too far away from Fords assembly plant at Dagenham.

very cool video Steve the old ford had much black but i digged the red kw with its fangs that was cool unlike carting hay yesterday hot as hell and humidity too also fixed the inside high beam lights on the KW t404s at the farm when Wednesday afternoon I took a 40 ton load of canola up to Geraldton coming back truck head lights were dull on high beam and I don't like the led spot lights too much glare off signs and its forecasted rain for the next few days so I be fixing stuff at home but the lighting on Thursday night returning in the truck was awesome no harvesting here probably next Thursday

Nice tunes as always.

Love hearing that turbo whine between gears ! You would never guess that the new trucks had turbos they sound like Toyota’s

There's still a couple cabovers around here in SW MN that run almost daily. Ones an International that pulls tanker for Viesmann. The other is a K100 Aerodyne with a dry van. Both awesome trucks.

I did 2 trips with a CL9000! Interesting to say the least. It had the 15 over with “reversed” shift pattern which always threw me for a loop! Lots of space in cab and sleeper.

Just as with cars, those older rigs just seem to have more character. Drivers "spruced" them up some so they all were a little different. Just like motorcycles are today.

Wicked good highway footage

Old Ford cabovers , we called the "tiltin' Hilton" Lol. Todd the retired trucker.

The guy who built that Ford is one Bad Dude. I met him at Louisville 2016. He invented OLD SCHOOL

My first truck was a '79 Ford cabover. Tall thing. I liked it. Eye level about 10 feet up.

I know its a little late for this but in a past video you mentioned the differences between a 352 & 362. The biggest being the big windshield and triple wipers. For whatever reason, I suddenly realized that I had a friend who had a 362 but it had a split windshield with 2 wipers like the 352. Turns out it was an option for the 362. I don't remember what year his truck was but I thought you might find that interesting.

Be safe and careful take care. GOD BLESS

I like the matt black tanks and bumper on that 9000.

Ford CL 9000 best dashboard in the industry! when all systems are in proper operating parameters, all the gauges in the cluster read 12:00. You can just do a quick visual sweep over your gauges and tell right away if something is off. (I think this should be an industry standard.) Wonderful ergonomics from that driver's seat too the bad things about these air-ride cabs, especially the earlier units (the later models like this '91 had the 'bugs' worked out), was that they did ride like glass, but if you found yourself in icy conditions, you couldn't feel the road! Not good on black ice!!! :( what was that round hopper-looking thingy you were hauling?? Looked like a snow-thrower for a big truck! Be safe out there driver. Keep 'em coming

You should have stopped to get food at The Essenhaus in Middlebery. I recognized the 5 and 20 intersection. It’s about an hour from where I live.

Them old Hilton or "Falcon 2" Ford Caboers are like Marmon's of Today's world. On my Dream list to own. Have been told by many owner's parts impossible to find. I believe it. Best looking truck of the time IMO. They're going for over $65,000 these days Restored. Some up to 100K.

Boy, your old strap roller could sure use a grease job :D I still prefer your COE to that Ford. Petes are what I've always loved best. I would love to own a 379 myself. But a 579 would be okay too :)

Hey, out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the International 9800? IIRC, that was the very first successful flat floor cabover (no doghouse).

Hi, that CO FORD WAS SWEET, it’s been a long time seeing one, WAY BACK FREIGHTLINERS we’re all COE, then everybody wanted long nose with the FIRST FUEL CRISIS, I recently saw a V12 GMC 2 CYCLE, on a flatbed truck…, ODLY now WESTERN STAR, FREIGHTLINER,STERLING,& THOMAS SCHOOLBUS, a, DETROIT DIESEL,,,are owned by MERCEDES BENZ.
