Kansas farmer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That is a cl with an e9. It's from my part of the country. I posted some pics of it but it was about dark so not that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas farmer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Same here there is one on truckpaper that would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeler73 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The CL is one of the the best trucks to work on! Plenty of room and also a very tough truck. I love working on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack man 1973 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That is a rawhide ch set forward axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtymilkman Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'd love to pick that guys brain and see what he did for front springs and hangers. The hood would be simple, just extend a set forward hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I thought it looked like a Rawhide too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hood would be simple, just extend a set forward hoodIf it's a CL,all you would need is the same springs and hangers from a Superliner II. The CL was based on the Superliner chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bts-4120 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I have never seen a set forward CL series you could get the CL hood on a CH CH 713 set back had one many moons ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas farmer Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It belongs to Dickson trucking out of stafford ks. The family also farms and they used to run black ch's with aluminum grain beds always shinny and clean. They bought the cl and did the work themselves I believe. Made it an axel forward and they used two hood to make one. As far as specifics I don't know I used to see the truck at my grandpas shop but I don't see it very often anymore.

Fishhook Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Appreciate the info. Mack should have made this instead of the CL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah that's custom folks, take a good side view of a ch set forward, not even close.

BAD DOG Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Superliner II andMH springs and hangers are the same and both will bolt in place under a CL.. RW MH and CL are built on the same frame assembly CL just uses a longer spring and front hanger. If you look close on most CL's the holes are already punched in the frame rails to bolt Superliner and MH front assemblies under them. The stretching of the hood would be more work than changing the front end. So it really wouldn't be that big of a deal to do a forward axle CL conversion. I think finding a good cheap CL with an E9 for an affordable project is probably the toughest part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'd love to do that, I think I'd have to slide the battery boxes and tanks forward so they looked like the superliners though. Anybody got a V8 powered CL613 for cheap?
