Initially, the airbags were placed too close to the exhaust pipes and that caused them to blow. This caused accidents. They replaced and relocated them...no more issues. Loved that tall look. Cabovers rule! 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30315-ford-cl-9000-fords-surprise-in-1977/page/3/#findComment-461671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I ran two LTS8000's one with a 6V71 13 speed the other an 8V53 with a 5&4 An LT9000 with an 8V71 318. And a loaded LTL9000 with a 3406 425 Cat. I always liked the Ford's. They had terrible headlight wiring though, LOL Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30315-ford-cl-9000-fords-surprise-in-1977/page/3/#findComment-483653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
