Hi mate my names Darren I'm from England just wanted to let you know that my dad, me and my son have just started watching your videos and we can't take our eyes off the screen all 3 generations of us think they're great 👍
I agree, do a full service on the engine and transmission and rears. Remove the AIR DAM, keep the side extensions, clean everything out of the interior BEFORE lifting the cab, good luck with it, my first two trucks were COE's, been trucking 40 years
That's a cool truck, I have a soft spot for those, my dad got me one when I was a kid (yes I learned young), to use for a yard dog moving trailers around when he was gone, as for the cab extension I'd keep those gives it a nice look, drain the air tanks too can't wait to see more
Keith Bunner I for one like that.. Wild Card.. It's a wild card in his hand just to find a cabover in that good of shape nowadays... I drove three COE back in the day a GMC Fishbowl, a Freightliner and an International Transtar II (in 1987) I hated all 3 of them back then... Now I wish I had all three of them.. I think most of all the shaker... it had Racor suspension man what a ride that was... lol
Retired trucker now after 30+ years on the road. Back in late 80's I had an International CO 9670 Big Cam 300 with 10spd pulled flatbed..those were the days! Nice rig btw :-)
I have seen a bunch of trucks that had those on them. I lived in Arizona for 39 years and lived in a town on int 8 and alot of trucks went though Gila bend over the years that I lived there.
Cab overs are the norm over here in the UK, so great to see a classic like this receiving so much love over on your side of the pond !! Paint it black BTW
Unless you are planning on pulling a full size trailer, lose the air dam on top but keep the side wings... someone already said it but they keep the rear of the cab cleaner. It’s so cool!
I started driving with my first company in a Freightliner C.O.E. back in the mid 80's . They are a great tractor. Loved the one step and your in your sleepers. But could have used a little more room in the things, it's not like the condos on the road today. Running with a trainer was a little tight. But not to bad when I got my own tractor. I would call it Survivor or Born again. Looks great!!
The biggie thingy on top is a wind deflector, when you are hauling a high enclosed trailer it helps stop all that wind drag etc, if your only going to haul flat bed trailer then you probably won’t need it
Air dam is the top...cab extensions are behind the cab. Meant to close the gap between the cab and the trailer for fuel efficiency....as much as you can get in one of those old trucks anyway.
Look on left front side of the motor there is a plate with the CPL number for that engine ( certified parts list ) look it up! Leave the side wings on, keeps the back of the cab clean. 855 series engine..probably a 350. 290 has no inner cooler 350 does have intake inner cooler. Btw I'm 855 certified, ask if you get Stuck on something! Cool old truck, they last forever.

Change in regulations. Before there were restrictions on the overall lengths of a semis. When they were changed to not include the tractor, makers went with the more conventional design which provided better comfort to the drivers on long hauls, and easier to maintenance since the engine didn't sit under the cab.
Bruce thing as you call it on top of the cab is an air deflector it saves you diesel and you will get a better ride if its windy .but it's up to you it's your truck ,it looks nice without the air kit but with it on they look awesome.its got lovely interior I personally like push button leather interior but yours looks just as nice ,what would set it off is lots of new chrome on the tanks ,on the chassis, and a nice set of polished durabright alloy wheels.
Leave the wings on the side it makes the sleeper look longer I took them off my truck once and put them back on right away but keep that classic paint scheme not alot of road tractors have any style anymore but if I were you I'd get my cdl and a lowboy trailer and put that ol iron to work hauling your tractors
Never made that mistake before all of the trucks at waste management or cabovers there Peterbilt 320 s never made that mistake before always made sure that the dumbass drivers didn't leave shit in the cab when I was working on them
I'd keep the sides. There have been some older JB Hunt cabovers like that one you've got which have the aero piece on the roof also. Semis are one of my favorite pulling classes and cabovers are treasure pieces in my book. Good luck with fixing this beast.
"Ridin durty" go through all the air lines, pull all the brakes, bearings etc, coolant flush, all filters, all grounds, any electrical connects and drain and fill all axles. Leave the deflector sides alone. Find a used air deflector while ur at it
Super fun to watch these revivals. Also, I use pure SuperClean in my parts washer. Do not get it on aluminum but makes quick work of the grimy steal parts. Keep up the work. I third a vote for Optimus Grime and leaving the extensions on. I am an old car guy - not a big truck guy but reviving old steel is reviving old steel.
I agree not everyone knows to drain the air tanks. what is obvious to some is not to others. he wont mind being told something he knows and will very happy to learn something he didn't
Definitely drain the tanks, rebuild or replace the air dryer, and run some air brake cleaner through the governor and the complete system. Especially after replacing any airlines and brake chambers, make sure the brake system is operating at top performance.
@@showcasecharlie11 You can run straight rubbing alcohol through the system. We used to use this with all drop and hook trailers in the cold months. Just pour some down the hoses and charge the lines, then blow the tanks. Regular cleaner is easier on the system though.
Hunter Melton is that a legit fix? Do you freeze it with the gas cap on and tank sealed? Wouldn't the water/ice simply find the path of least resistance and potentially destroy it? I world try PDR.
Excuse my French but, Super Clean is the shit. I use it on my frame, inner cab corners and wheel wells on my 95 Sierra every other week. I love the fact that it works out the dirt like an Acid based cleaner but won't harm your clear coat. It's awesome.
That COE brings back some memories, the second truck I was assigned to as a professional driver was that exact that model. the one I drove was a COE International with a big cam 400 Cummins with a 13 speed transmission. The interior of this truck looks identical to the one I drove, same color and style on the inside but, the one I drove was painted all white. That truck had balls for days on end.
Leave the back pieces on, they are there in case you jack knife the trailer to far. It's easier to replace them so you don't have to repair the cab. Awsome video!!
I love International Harvester, that truck rocks. Best of luck with it, I can't wait to see what it looks like and how it runs when you get it up and rolling!
Pretty awesome project, to bad the top air deflector is broken. Those were very popular in the 80's for saving fuel by deflecting air around the trailer. I've been a driver since 1982 and never got to drive a cab over. Enjoy it.
Hey Bruce , I stumbled across your videos tonight whilst in lockdown in the UK. Im really enjoying them and will definately watch a load more but right now its 1am and ive gotta go to bed. cant wait to see the others! Mark.
Since you are going to pull a flatbed with it, the side faring probably wont help you on your fuel mileage? They put that on for trucks pulling van trailers to keep the wind from going in between the tractor and trailer and causing it to burn more fuel. The top air deflector was for the same purpose, basically keeping the trailer from running head on into the wind. When you're pulling a van or box trailer, the faring and deflector make a big difference in pulling and fuel savings. I put one on top of my pete and got a pretty good increase in my fuel mileage and strong winds didnt affect the pulling on the truck. It would go through strong winds out west and never slow down from the wind drag. Id leave the side faring on it though? Makes the truck look a little better I think? If its a Big Cam 350, its probably pushing about 400 horsepower? Should pull really good? Most older truckers call an International a Cornbinder. I loved the one I drove.
...and leave the side fairings on. They help bridge/close the gap between the tractor and the trailer which helps to improve fuel mileage.You can leave the top one off - guys (0wner operators who own their own custom reefer trailers too) take 'em off if they're pulling reefers to help cool down the condenser, and if you're pulling a tanker, it is always yanked off.
I Love it !! Im from Brazil and i watch this 2 movies and love it... please keep improving the truck, make the tapestry inside, repaint the same color, renew and leave it brand new, besides selling your fish is beautiful work, Congratulations !!!
If you’re going for a “hot rod” truck, the fairings on the roof and back of bunk gotta go. Cheap way to go is find a frame cutoff at the wreckers and add about 2 ft of frame at the same time. Take the spacer blocks( or shorter spring shackles) out of the front axle. And you got a stanced badass cabinover. And LOSE THE MUFFLERS! those old mechanical Cummins sound evil through straight pipes. And just paint the frame. Leave the age (coolness)on the cab. Either way,gonna be a cool old binder.
Yeah, get that party hat off it. Leave the side panels for now. I’d do nothing cosmetic until you’ve done everything mechanical because that stuff will add up $$$$ and take up time, chasing air leaks and making stuff work. I like the look of the painted steel wheels, I’d leave them and replace tyres
Take off the top air scoop if you are hauling flat bed trailers. If you are running dry or reefer van, you might want the scoop replaced. Makes a huge difference in fuel consumption.
Name the truck "Gramps" as she's an old COE and out of respect/homage to the guy who sold you the trucks grandpa who drove it for a living. Keep the side fairings. They complete the look. (Hide the stack and working parts) and complete the pInt job. (Keep the paint job as well...just repaint exactly the same)
Top cap is called WindJammer, Wind Deflector leave the cab extensions double stack/pipes that truck and replace that windjammer for an aluminum wing!😎👍
Loose the bird banger off the top and leave the cab extensions on. Looks like you acquired a very nice old binder there. Some of the older truckers used to call the International Eagle. Cadillac Cornbinders. Looks like that one is a base model. Eagle was an upgrade package that International offered.

Jarod Peer there was vintage Florida plates found in the cab in the previous vid, so could be.
Yeah, get that party hat off it.
Leave the side panels for now.
I’d do nothing cosmetic until you’ve done everything mechanical because that stuff will add up $$$$ and take up time, chasing air leaks and making stuff work.
I like the look of the painted steel wheels, I’d leave them and replace tyres
I am a retired truckdriver I had one years ago I love old cab overovers
Take off the top air scoop if you are hauling flat bed trailers. If you are running dry or reefer van, you might want the scoop replaced. Makes a huge difference in fuel consumption.
There is only one clear choice for the name: “HELGA” 😎👍
Optimus....
Too cliche?
Lot lizard
Or Olga
Name the truck "Gramps" as she's an old COE and out of respect/homage to the guy who sold you the trucks grandpa who drove it for a living.
Keep the side fairings. They complete the look. (Hide the stack and working parts) and complete the pInt job. (Keep the paint job as well...just repaint exactly the same)
Top piece is an airfoil, otherwise known as a "bird banger".
Hello from the U.K. all I can say is WOW you washed it and it looks ALREADY partially restored. Well IH built em to last.
I respc your work. That's amazing job. And the truck is Ned's one man wits you. Congratulations from Portugal
Who does that instrumental groove while you are pressure washing?
should name it Optimus Prime like in the 80's cartoons
Only problem.. Optimus Prime was a Kenworth K100 not an International.
like the 80's cartoons. they should make a movie or two about that cartoon
How about Optimus Slime
@@foltzenlogel dose it matter ?
@@jasonplatty4770 i agreed and they did called transformers the movie
That lovely old Inter must have given a big sigh when you washed all the crap off it.
Top cap is called WindJammer, Wind Deflector leave the cab extensions double stack/pipes that truck and replace that windjammer for an aluminum wing!😎👍
Loose the bird banger off the top and leave the cab extensions on. Looks like you acquired a very nice old binder there. Some of the older truckers used to call the International Eagle. Cadillac Cornbinders. Looks like that one is a base model. Eagle was an upgrade package that International offered.
