Nice little Ford L-9000. 38,000GVWR, 671 Detroit & 10 speed RR trans. $3000 bucks. Might look nice with some super singles up front.

That's a rugged little dump truck - would be a great trailer puller. With 38K gvw, does it have a 16K front axle? The Jimmy diesel is a workhorse, if a bit noisy. What's the cab like (looks good in the pic)? The older Louisvilles tended to rust around the bottom back of the cab.

Nice. $3000 doesn't get you much in a dump truck. Rarely a diesel. May want to paint it a different color, it looks like a state truck.

It looks to be in dam good shape for its age and price. Congrats on finding it.

I'll give you $3,100 cash...LOL...Nice find, I sure wish I could find one that clean and new around here for that price...This will make you feel good..I saw an add here on Craig's list for a 60's model Chevy dump and the picture looked like it was junk and they wanted $2,800...:thumbsup:

I'll have to find the GAWR's on the axles. The 6V71 Detroit is one of the biggest reasons I want it. ;) Another Ford with a GM diesel in it. 10 RR is icing on the cake. I think it's a purpose built dump, not a road tractor. Most S/A road tractors from back then topped-out at ~33K GVWR.

If built as a dump, there is a good chance that it has helper springs where as a tractor more than likely would not. Sometimes the road tractors will get to swaying going down the road without those helpers once you put a dump on them.

Not sure about the 6v but with the 8v's, watch those high RPM's. Hard on the valves.

Years ago, I drove a tri-axle L with a 238 (screamin demin) 13 spd w/ double OD. They also had one with a 318. There is only so much room under that hood and the 318 suffered from a lack of breathing air. Filter was way to small.

The L does have a nice view from the drivers seat. I do agree, that yellow paint has to go, lol! Nice find for 3k!

I'm gonna try to go see it tomorrow/monday. I don't know the rust situation. I know the guy that owns it. He's an excavator like me, but he does more septic systems where I do more foundations. The yellow doesn't bother me, but white would be better.

Forgot to add, the 10 spd RR is a bit odd for a purpose built dump. Most would have a five speed with a 2 speed rear?

In a truck that old, I could see a RR 10 speed, but that was more a road tractor tranny. I'm wondering what HP rating the Detroit is in this truck....:confused:
