jaysm35a2 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone here remeber the old CF L7000 Fords? Where did they all go? I figured one would make a cheap easy truck to drive around here for small jobs.

Olivetroad Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 A bunch of them showed up around here with new dump beds on them. They ran them hard until things in the contractor world fell apart. You never saw them hauling much of a load.

Olivetroad Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yes, I am selling that cabover Ford. That is one of the tightest cabbed little trucks I have seen in a long time. A friend of mine that owns a underground boring company sold it to me. He said if the world blew up, and he had to choose a truck to get in that would for sure get him home, that is the one he would pick, but he sold it because he had to put a plate of deep fried pork chops in it to entice his guys to drive it - not as cool to be seen in as their new trucks!Check it out (and bid on it you tight bastards): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&item=230754693083&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AITI had another one just like this one with a cattle feed box mounted on it. I finally sold it - if I drove it down the road, those silly cows got to where they would jump a fence to try and get to it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23738-anyone-remember-the-old-cf-l7000-day-cab-tractors/#findComment-106483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Olivetroad you did good with your C-Model Ford. Joe D.I thought so as well - I was tickled pink with the price it brought. I may even deliver it to make a little more as well. Those old things were pretty solid built back in their day. I always can remember the clang the doors make on them when you slam them shut.

Olivetroad Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 olive, didnt you buy that goofy lookin b model?WHAT! You call my B model GOOFY? I am hurt, so very very hurt. I may never post on here again - naw, you won't get off that easy.Just wait until I get some of those reclining nekked ladies on the back, some of dem dar fuzzy dice hangin down, a big ol' chromed up bumper so deep it almost drags the ground, a set of those cat whisker antenna sticking forward at a 45 deg. angle, some loud assed exhaust tubes made out of chromed 18 inch culvert pipes, a sun visor so low you can't see, paint it purple and put me a set of those rounded full fenders on the back about 1/2 inch off the mun mun wheels, install a SUPERDUPERSPECIALCOBRA 6765899 radio and have it all tweaked and peaked to blow everyone else off the airwaves, then the best part is, I will add about 4 no make it 5 extra drive axles - you see Vinny the more axles you have the cooler you are - you went the wrong direction with your U model. I WILL BE STYLIN'!!!!

ThaddeusW Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The ones that didn't sell locally were either crushed or cut up for parts and the rest crushed. I bet many were exported as well.

Olivetroad Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Talking about freight carriers. This is my city tractor I drove for Carolina Freight.I had a 8100 IHC I used for years pulling a 40 ft hotshot type trailer - I installed a nice new air ride seat, slid it back for my long legs, and broke out the back glass.I hate to admit it, but it happened again a year or so later when I forgot!

Most of them around here that still run have a 8.2 Detroit non-turbo. We installed a turbo on one years ago and it took off to where you could not keep that little thing down on the pavement Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23738-anyone-remember-the-old-cf-l7000-day-cab-tractors/#findComment-107248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
