seems to run quite well; what happened to the interior?

[73GMC1500]

@bj99ful the roof was rusted out and wind blew it half off during a storm, happened before we got it

Is that even road legal?

[73GMC1500]

@1234niall Obviously not, it would take a lot to get it back on the road

naturally aspirated detroit...what a dog. lol

[73GMC1500]

All 238 HP... a lot more nuts than the 3208 which has a 7.17 rear (hits governor at 52 MPH). This detroit will pass 60 MPH and it's not out of RPM.

[THOMASOAKMAN]

This looks like an LNT9000, since I see the configuration is a narrow-nose (the "N") and tandem rear axles (the "T"). "L" is for Louisville series, named for the manufacturing plant of Louisville, KY. The LNT9000 was the 1970 successor to the NT850D and NT950D series.

@73GMC1500 must have been one hell of a storm~! Not many Detroits in these L series Fords it seems.

That could be a decent truck if it had a good cab and getrid of the gravity box and put a good dump bed on it. Bad thing is that the cabs on those Ford Louisvilles are notorious for rusting out on the roof around the "gutter" on them.Been there done that on them.

@Detroit12v71TT yesBEFORE gm meant Government Motors lol

[dakotamcatee]

That's because of the Detroit.

[Detroit12v71TT]
