1:48 Maybe you can answer a question I have had for several decades.....what is the blue air brake valve used for? I'm not a truck driver but I was a highly trained auto tech @ Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler. I was born in 73 & I remember when I was a vary young kid I had a dealer brochure for I believe GMC commercial vehs(it had to be for late 70's or vary early 80's), in that full size(8.5"x11") brochure was a lg centerfold pic of a trk dashboard, pic covered 2 pages & it had the same 3 air brake controls...yellow, red, blue. I kept, looked & dreamed i was driving that trk for several yrs while leaving that centerfold open, but never knew what the blue control was for, I knew yellow & red back then bc it was written on them, but blue had no writing on it.....sorry for the long question/story, but what was blue for?? Side note, I never knew where that brochure came, neither did anyone in my family, it literally just appeared 1 day.....no one had ever seen it before i found it & it was not mailed out, thats another question ive had, lol. THANKS & cool story of ur TV truckin' days.

Hunter, I am not usually a fan of these types of videos but I was really into this one and your channel. I think its just the genuine, rough, everyday life stuff that is refreshing. You have an interesting life doing all of these different types of trips, picking up different vehicles, etc. It was cool seeing you get that truck you have been looking for, and how excited you were about it. I can't wait to see more updates on it as you fix it up, and restore it (if that is what you plan on doing). Have you considered making a membership on youtube here, or a Patreon? I bet you would get quite a few subscribers (including me) that would want to support you and your content.

That 1981 Ford is exactly like the one I drove in 1981 and 1982. But, it was black with red flames on the exterior. It had Ruby Red Diamond button tucked interior. I got my license in 1979 and drove for a little 5 truck, owner operator company in NC. I was what they called an apprentice or 2nd driver to a lead driver running team. They taught me everything I needed to know to run from Charlotte NC to Pico Riviera / Los Angels, California every week. I loved that truck and the job. After 2 years they bought a new International Transtar II.. for me to drive. But, I missed that four shock ride. I continued to drive and later bought my own Peterbilt 379 and drove it until I retired in 2014. Good luck on your truck and channel.

The first truck I ever drove in 1980 it was 3 months old, I was 18 years old, I got a lot of grief from the older guys, Young punk with a brand new truck. The truck I drove did not have the air ride cab. It had spring suspension and rode like a buck board. A friend of mine had the same suspension with the air ride cab. A word of warning if you do not have air ride suspension you can tear a lot of shit up because the cab is so smooth. I’m so glad these old CLT 9000s are popular today. I think it would be really cool to do a little customizing with today’s technology and availability of aftermarket parts. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of this truck. First time on your channel, I’m going to subscribe to keep up-to-date what you’re doing with it.

my dad had one, it is true that they have air bags on the cab. he could never depend on the air conditioner for long for the cab flexed so much that it always damaged the AC lines. and the other main problem that he had was that it was spring ride, the frame rails were weak, had to double up the frame and also replace springs often. other than that i can remember that was one of the greatest looking truck at that time, and still looks great to this day. good luck.

You can get air from truck to truck by connecting the two emergency lines together and pushing the red trailer air supply on both trucks. Probably a good idea to change the foot valve. All those floor mounted pedals take a lot of abuse, dirt and water. I think you'll find that truck goes down the road with a noticeable rocking motion. Some guys liked it. Other guys got seasick. Also, guys used to say they needed oxygen bottles to climb up to the driver's seat. It's considerably higher off the deck than any cabover I know of.
