Louies......Wheres all ya Louies

There's one at Prices at Dalby if you've still got the yearning.

I came ....... THAT ....... close to buying one of those petrol guzzling 477 petrol ones when they came out not that long before petrol prices went up.
Wonder if any ever survived?

V8 cars, That is one mighty fine looking LTL.
Others here may refer to to them as Loosely bilts but I think the LTL was a Lovely bilt

Good one Chocs, now you've got me started. I drove predominantly LTL's at Comet. And I love 'em. Everyone used to bag them, but I reckon they were the last of the 'muscle trucks'. If only I had the resources (money) to find a decent one up fix her up.

C'mon Young Fella....
Get some of that cash from underneath ya mattress and whip out and grab one before they are all gone..
the ol 'seed has been snappin em up waitn for the sale day

Chocs old mate, if I had a mattress full of money, I'd have the back paddock full of trucks.
Haven't had much of a chance for a long time to get on the forum, and I still don't know why I am sitting here inside today on the computer when it is 30 degrees outside and the grass needs cutting.
Theres an LTL on Trucksales at the moment. It has the short side fairings still on it, the roof airdam is gone, and a tipper body fitted. I reckon it's an old Comet jigger. It has tell tale signs on the dash that make me think it's one. I look at it a lot and dream.....

I spoke to a bloke a while back..
he was looking for an ol banga..
I suggested maybe a louie????
I hadn't seen too many at the shows i had been to...
Till i went to Echuca this year..
Thank you to the owners for taking the time to bring em all out..

FWIW

Ford L-Series trucks was a long running series of heavy-duty trucks built by Ford Motor Company between 1970 and 1998. It was distinctively styled with a bold hexagonal grille at its introduction. It was built in a new plant which was called the Kentucky Truck Plant, but its location near Louisville, Kentucky gave rise to the popular name of Ford Louisville line trucks, as well as the "Louisville Plant"
These heavy-duty Ford trucks replaced the short conventional N-Series, along with the heavy-duty F-Series trucks (but not the medium-duty F-Series trucks; which have soldiered on through production, and are still being produced to this day), and related tandem-axle T-Series. The Louisville Line encompassed a wide range of models serving the medium-, heavy-, and extra-heavy-duty truck ranks. The line would become one of the most popular series of trucks Ford ever produced

-: Designations :-

LT=Tandem Axle.
LN=Short Nose (compact hood) Same WB as LS except shorter hood.
LNT=Short Nose Tandem Axle
LS=Set Back Front Axle. Shorter WB than L series.
