Goes out on a "what's for sale trip" comes home with 6 trucks and 4 trailers! 😉It's a dangerous life looking at vehicles for sale, hehe! 😄👍 Keep up the great work! 😁
You the man Mark, helping truckers sell, trade, etc. their inventory. Gives you a chance to see and meet folks and gives the rest of us inside scoop to buying, selling sweet rides. That's funny: Mark asks if he really wants to sell this truck, and Anton starts to second guess himself, classic.
Fun fact! The trucking company I was a mechanic for in the late '70's was strictly at that time International only. We had a LOT of 4070 "B" models, as the length laws back then made COE's the only way to go to get under the (then) restrictive laws. International made a deal with one of our big lease customers out of St. Cloud Minnesota to drive a full prototype of the 9670 cabover-- brand new, not yet issued for service. I was working midnights at the time, and here comes this truck middle of the night that none of us had ever seen before, cobbled full of non-standard parts (including a grill off of a conventional 4200 series.) The dash was pretty-much complete as the one you rode in in this video, and of course it had the new-style bigger cab. They stopped off because there was a problem with the lights. We had absolutely NO parts, as you can imagine. We got them going by rigging up some jumper wires so they could continue. That truck was loaded with cables running to all parts of the frame, and the luggage compartments had recording devices inside that was keeping track of stress data on frame points. Basically, I was one of the first mechanics to ever work on the new-style 9670 International COE's, prior to manufacturing! As for the shifter, he's right that it is linkage. It has a rod shaped almost like a spear with a ball welded perpendicular to the end of the shaft that coupled with the shift handle in the cab. It was pretty reliable, as long as you tweaked the adjustment right. What wasn't so was the clutch! It was a clutch cable, which was actually thin bands of flat metal inside of a cable and sandwiched by dozens of ball bearings on both sides of the metal bands. The problem was they were prone to breaking, and with no warning they would just let go, and you had no clutch. There were also availability problems in the beginning years that was bad enough that we bought new clutch cables, still in their flat boxes, and placed them under the mattress in the sleeper so that, while they'd have to find someone on the road to change it out, (which was quite a job,) they at least had the parts!! Overall they weren't a bad truck. As with any model truck they had their peculiar problems, but they were a lot better and more comfortable then what they replaced, (the 4070 "A" and "B" models.) Kudos to Anton, he did a nice job restoring it! Hope he makes a sale!!! 👍
Man that's a sweet ride, needs a little love, but it sure is nice and would make an excellent little earner. If I had the chance I would definitely go for it, so best of luck to him. I hope it goes to a good home! This is a good segment Mark, looking forward to a few more.
I've always like the international especially the eagle I put a lot of miles on them. They were a well built truck and yes you should add this to your collection 😉
I had the same exact type truck from late 1984 until early 1989 when I bought a special ordered, unsold 1988 Freightliner conventional. I loved that International. Never had a bit of trouble with it and after getting out of a 1970's F Model Mack cabover, that International felt like a Cadillac!! Thank you for the videos you do. This one sure brought back a lot of good memories!! And I even made a few trips into Canada and brought lumber back out going all the way down to Oklahoma. For the most part, fuel was still under 1.10 a gallon. Most places it was under a dollar a gallon. Thanks again, this retired old driver thanks you a lot.
I hope this International finds a good owner. It deserves a lot of love after all the nice work that’s already been to the engine and chassis and rear diffs. Awesome Job! Awesome Find!
You just went down the perfect side road with your channel. I'm seeing a lot more old cabover's rolling the blacktop in Idaho these days & they are real eye candy. I'm a road service mechanic.
Awesome International cabover. Really in great shape considering the year. She would make an excellent addition to any collector(s) of old iron. Just a little interior updating by the Daycab Company and boy you got yourself quite a classic setup
Mark, the new platform is great. I see that some of the RUclips channels I watch that interview people they will have a microphone for the interviewee as well for themselves for a better consistent sound. Great job and good luck on your adventures. 👍👍🍺🍺
Well I'm back! it's been a long dry spell without my Twin sticks video's. I've been busier than a cucumber in a woman's prison, and I have not been able to get my Twin stick fix. Love your I idea Mark, in today's truck market it's hard to sell a truck and anyone willing to help makes it easier, Good job Mark and great Idea.
Mark, I am from Eastern Canada. We call Internationals' Frenchman Peterbilts. I can only imagine what you Westerners call them??? ( air bag the front end and maybe $ 25000 CDN)
I drove 82's IH cabovers for a couple years. The interiors, and mechanicals held up to hard commercial use pretty well. A smooth quiet ride, not so much. Still better than the Transtars of yesteryear.
I like this idea!Also, nice power smoke. I have an identical interior, but I’ve replaced the head unit with a kenwood that does wireless CarPlay. Once you delete the damn thing, the 6.7L is quite the reliable beast. Someone not far from me who does long haul trucking has one of those 900’s from the beginning of the vidya in this crazy 80’s paint scheme. I’ll have to get a photo.
Man that gave me flashbacks to when I used to ride with my dad hauling hogs to the slaughterhouse. I used to have to crawl back in the sleeper and hide, don’t remember if it was at the scales or the slaughterhouse.
More on the blue W900 flat top with Gibson's decals... Boychuck got bought out by Gibson's around 2003/04 I believe, when Gibson's took over the methanol haul from the plant (which no longer exists) at 17 St and Yellowhead. Gibson's also took over Boychuks yard also across the street from methanol plant on south side of Yellowhead at 17 St. Each of Boychucks trucks were custom built, had 550 Caterpillars in them, and were METICULOUSLY taken care of! Gibsons originally used them as company trucks, but when they got rid of company drivers, offered the truck for purchase to the driver so they could keep working. The truck you saw Mark was hauling molten sulphur the last time it was working, but since Trimac has bought out the trucking division a couple years ago or whatever, obviously that truck never made the switch. I did two stints at Gibson's, I was thinking maybe I know Anton if he worked there. Great episode Mark, love the local flavor from Edmonton!!
My dad had an international in his fleet like that and i hated that thing. Id always take the R model mack or the 86 flc shaker because if you spit on the ground that cabover would get stuck in it😂
goes to help the guy sell it ends up trying to convince him to keep it🤣🤣never change mark loved the video antone seems like a cool guy and yeah id love to have that "minty" 12v
Mark, l like the new concept. It's a great idea......except my concern is you will be increasing your fleet, LMAO. Thankfully you are a long way from Ohio, so mine won't be increasing (with your help at least). Great job.
international cab overs are a very common truck here in jamaica, if you are driving around probably 1 in every 7 truck is an international cab over, either semi or rigid truck
That looks like Tim Boychuk's personal truck we saw as you pulled in!!! (Old White and blue KW conventional by the gate).... Is it for sale? Ohp...halfway thru you went over to see it....not Tim Boychuk's personal after all, (His was older yet)....but definitely a former Boychuk truck!
That is a nice truck I would freshen up the interior for sure get rid of that orange interior with some black diamond tuck but other then that it looks great sounds great and it even has jake brakes and that's awesome.
I know those old trucks are cool but I couldn’t imaging driving 200,000 kms a year in that thing…..I traded my 379 for a cascadia and I’m ready to get another one….I like the comfort

That cab over needs an 80s style paint job added to that white !
"A trucks not a truck without a Jake brake" the most beautiful thing I've heard.
Goes out on a "what's for sale trip" comes home with 6 trucks and 4 trailers! 😉It's a dangerous life looking at vehicles for sale, hehe! 😄👍
Keep up the great work! 😁

Anton seems like a really good dude. Best of luck on your rig 👍
Favorite part of waking up on thursday when Twinstick uploads always makes my mornings better
Man that's a sweet ride, needs a little love, but it sure is nice and would make an excellent little earner. If I had the chance I would definitely go for it, so best of luck to him. I hope it goes to a good home!
This is a good segment Mark, looking forward to a few more.
The what's for sale is a fantastic idea
Can't wait to see what's out in your neck of the woods 👍
That cabover has a very special place in my heart 🇯🇲 see it everywhere in jamaica
I've always like the international especially the eagle I put a lot of miles on them. They were a well built truck and yes you should add this to your collection 😉
Very 1st truck I ever drove an '89 international cabover.. I miss it lol
I like the new series and I’m not even a trucker, just like trucks
I had 2 4070 Beeezzz Made money with both of them.. I ran a ninety six seventy Like that also but I could never get used to the short stick...
An Intersmashional with a 400 big cam and Jacobs brakes... what more could you ask for.
Thanks for the ride along Mark
Mark that's why you're BLESSED 👍💯
That's a good looking cabover. He needs to keep it if he can. I enjoy the vlogs Twin Sticks.😁🙏

This is a great idea for a series alongside on the hunt
And what a way to start it off with an 85 cabover
that's a killer rig and excellent video. I hope people who see these videos help keep these ol rigs on the road
Awesome International cabover. Really in great shape considering the year. She would make an excellent addition to any collector(s) of old iron. Just a little interior updating by the Daycab Company and boy you got yourself quite a classic setup
Mark, the new platform is great. I see that some of the RUclips channels I watch that interview people they will have a microphone for the interviewee as well for themselves for a better consistent sound. Great job and good luck on your adventures. 👍👍🍺🍺
Man that Ih cabover is super awesome...I'd love to have it in the states! Really starting to dig the old cabovers the last couple years
That truck will make someone really happy. Good looking unit just needs a little of this and that.
Well I'm back! it's been a long dry spell without my Twin sticks video's. I've been busier than a cucumber in a woman's prison, and I have not been able to get my Twin stick fix. Love your I idea Mark, in today's truck market it's hard to sell a truck and anyone willing to help makes it easier, Good job Mark and great Idea.
Another Thursday was here!...
Thank Mark... I welcome this idea
What a beauty, should sell quick.
What a cutie! That's a cool truck, with a mean shadow! Hopefully Anton gets some good offers! This is an awesome segment! Great Idea Mark!
Clean cab over worth every penny ! Best of luck Anton lots of work you put in this truck bro
That International Cabover would be a grate RV haler
as a coe veteran, whenever you hit a bump I hear the backslap and can still feel it lol.
first time I see a video that has potholed streets in Canada!
😆 🤣 😂 guess dont look hard enough
Hey mark good to see you an trucks good luck buddy good luck with new videos see you soon. Buddy
Beautiful truck. Careful on how many of these trips you go on. You might end up with a fleet like James Pretty.
That’s one sweet looking International cabover. I wish we had some of those in my country.
Maybe you could be the first lol
Nice old whip thon ! He should sell that no problem . Thanks Mark. God bless.
Mark, I am from Eastern Canada. We call Internationals' Frenchman Peterbilts. I can only imagine what you Westerners call them??? ( air bag the front end and maybe $ 25000 CDN)
Thank you for the video, that's a beautiful cabover truck
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷.
Hermoso camión!!!
Excelente tus videos.
awsome video mark what a great truck thumbs up and shared
In my personal opinion, the International 4070 truck is one of the most beautiful models ever made by the International company.
It brings back memories
Great idea you have with this!
Great video! Beautiful cab over!
Great idea on this new series, awesome. Nice cabover.
Mark you're a good man helping Antoine out like you did.❤👍🏾
I can’t wait to see snowman
Nice looking farmall there
Enjoy your videos brother have a great day
Cool idea for a video series 👍
I drove 82's IH cabovers for a couple years. The interiors, and mechanicals held up to hard commercial use pretty well. A smooth quiet ride, not so much. Still better than the Transtars of yesteryear.
Absolutly Love It ,Buy It Bro
Your gear shifting is good my brother I love the truck I'm in Zimbabwe
❤❤❤
Great idea to add to the channel.
This episode was an awesome idea. Love when these already 10/10 minty channels come up with new minty ideas. 👌👍🇨🇦🍻
Well I sure would have loved to see you drive it mark! C’mon
Anton is a cool guy glad ur helping people out mark would love to have that truck but Don't got the money.
Super clean truck this one. The dash is pretty spic and span as we used to say 🙂
I like this idea!Also, nice power smoke. I have an identical interior, but I’ve replaced the head unit with a kenwood that does wireless CarPlay. Once you delete the damn thing, the 6.7L is quite the reliable beast. Someone not far from me who does long haul trucking has one of those 900’s from the beginning of the vidya in this crazy 80’s paint scheme. I’ll have to get a photo.
That's a really nice cab over I hope somebody buys it I have too many already🤠
That is a cool truck and we don't see much of the cabovers anymore because a lot of drivers are driving conventional trucks nowadays.
This is a GREAT idea! I think it will be just as enteraining to watch you struggle to not buy more trucks! LOL
Man that gave me flashbacks to when I used to ride with my dad hauling hogs to the slaughterhouse. I used to have to crawl back in the sleeper and hide, don’t remember if it was at the scales or the slaughterhouse.
You should build an R model! Or a superliner. Not many people do cool stuff with old Mack’s but they’re special for sure
I think it's just a brilliant scheme to get to drive old iron around !
I’ve always wondered why Canadian trailers are tri axles. She’s a beautiful rig for sure tho
Good idea for a new series! Hope you can afford it Mark! LOL!
Yay startups in the intro
Nice rig ... I drove one very much like that one early in my career ... I like it ... 👍👍
That would make a great container hauler.
You need to find a Ford l9000 next and do the blue mule after the iron duke
Great lookin rig and good lookin out Mark!
Beautiful 🥰

Always love the vids buddy hope we can see u work on snowman
My dad had an international in his fleet like that and i hated that thing. Id always take the R model mack or the 86 flc shaker because if you spit on the ground that cabover would get stuck in it😂
real yard man
This could backfire on you and end up with loads of trucks 😂👍
goes to help the guy sell it ends up trying to convince him to keep it🤣🤣never change mark loved the video antone seems like a cool guy and yeah id love to have that "minty" 12v
Nice old ride - guy has a cool toy there.
That's a nice looking IH cab- over
I hear that if you say, "International Cab Over" three times fast you summon Tim Gentry 😉🤣
This is on Kijiji right now !
Love the international COE.
Tnx for a nother great episode.
Best regards from Snowman ☃️ in Sweden
Mark, l like the new concept. It's a great idea......except my concern is you will be increasing your fleet, LMAO. Thankfully you are a long way from Ohio, so mine won't be increasing (with your help at least). Great job.
international cab overs are a very common truck here in jamaica, if you are driving around probably 1 in every 7 truck is an international cab over, either semi or rigid truck
Intertruck New Zealand still make these 9870s same cabs with a few updates and powered by cummins x15 👌👍
Don’t tell Peg you saw an ol greasy 12 valve…he collects them like candy! 😂
That looks like Tim Boychuk's personal truck we saw as you pulled in!!! (Old White and blue KW conventional by the gate)....
Is it for sale? Ohp...halfway thru you went over to see it....not Tim Boychuk's personal after all, (His was older yet)....but definitely a former Boychuk truck!
I'd be interested in the Boychuk KW .... (I heard he sold to Gibsons after I left years ago)
..
That’s a great truck and a cool dude.
Hi Mark, nice truck should sell quickly, thanks for the video Mark.
You can go down to a Kenworth dealer and order a brand new flat glass still. Day cab or 40” bunk only tho.
Must be a brand new windshield in your pickup. I don’t see any rock chips!!
That’s awesome cab over nice ❤😊
That is a nice truck I would freshen up the interior for sure get rid of that orange interior with some black diamond tuck but other then that it looks great sounds great and it even has jake brakes and that's awesome.
Great video Mark, I think its a cool series idea. My only suggestion would be to Mic up your guest as well. I found it hard to hear him.
Cheers!
That’s reallllll clean
I know those old trucks are cool but I couldn’t imaging driving 200,000 kms a year in that thing…..I traded my 379 for a cascadia and I’m ready to get another one….I like the comfort
