Do you know where this truck came from? My dad drove one very similar back in the 70's for Flowers Baking Company, now Flowers Foods, out of Thomasville Georgia. Identical color.
Actually yes I do.. Truck was built January 1967, in Ft Wayne Indiana, Sold through Earnhardt Truck Sales Salisbury NC and purchased by "Bamby Bakers" of Salisbury NC. and was used locally. It remained in their possession until the company was bought out along with several local NC bakeries and all were absorbed by Flowers Bakeries. Truck was sold in 78/79 to a local Salisbury NC family wrecking service but was never converted and applied to its fleet of wreckers. I purchased it from them and was informed from them It literally was moved around very little since 1979 until I purchased it in 2018. The paperwork found inside the cab supports the claims. I have since acquired its build sheet from IH and have confirmed ALL component serial numbers and its optional equipment are original.. Right down the the vertical stack. Color seems to be original as hard to reach places under cab and behind panels are blue. The bumper may have been blue and the wheels may have been yellow...but.. that's not a definite Hope that's not too much information..hahhaha
OHHH that sound...Damn MUSIC.... love the old 2 strokes. Dad had Macks... had Cummins.. had a couple of Detroits. Both Macks he owned cought fire....

Warm it up then crack the whip to it! LOVED it...Now i build farm machinery. Miss the diesel days.

Awesome! You see a lot of 4070 A's & B's as well as Emeryvilles at shows, but this is the only CO 4000 that I've seen still running, and it's got a Detroit 6-71 to boot!
Reminds me of my childhood. My father loved his Corn Binder with a 318 Jimmy and a 4 and a 5. I really miss that sound. I had a 1970 Honda CB750 with baffles removed from the stock pipes, and it sounded almost like Jimmy. 😋😄🤣😎
Wow that’s a blast from my past. In the early 80’s, I had a 1966 Transtar CO4000. 6-71 with a 10spd. One time the governor spring broke and it ran wide open in my driveway for a few minutes until I was able to get it shut down. It didn’t hurt that screamin’ 238 one bit. Last I heard it ended up in Texas somewhere after I sold it in 1985. Good Day to You!
Hmmm.. This truck was purchased new by Bamby Bakers from Salisbury NC and from the records was in full functioning service with them until the mid 70's. Bamby Bakers was bought by Flowers Foods and the Bamby line was dropped for others. I purchased this truck from a Salisbury NC individual who bought from Bamby to convert to a short haul wrecker .. but it never made that transition. Great lil truck.. with some history.
I did a pull start on an International with a 350 Cummins back in 83, it was 12 degrees took about 300 feet to start, the engine was running 1500 RPM. It had a lot of white smoke at first, then some black just before it started.
I Don’t own a Truck but i’d Love an old cabover with a Detroit diesel...i know i’m late to the show..but keep em’ truckin’ ya’ll! Cheers 🍻 from Louisiana!
Used to run a bunch of old GMC Dump trucks for a paving company with a bunch of 2 stroke Detroit engines... we had a Brigadier Tri-axle with a 671/13 speed, A General 6 wheeler plus tag with a silver 6V92/Horseshoe 8 speed... there was a few in that fleet with different combos, sadly all that’s left is a Brigadier 6 wheeler plus tag with a 671/Automatic tranny...
Growing up in the upper Midwest you learn pretty quick how to start these engines without ether. The jimmy that we have with a 671 in it always starts as long as it has a good battery in it. You add oil and check fuel every morning on that truck.
Talk about a puney exaust pipe. I used to drive for Viking Freight System back in the day and we had a bunch of those goofy looking cabovers, they had a horrible ride, couldn't see straight while driving down the road cause you were bouncing all over the cab.🤣👍

Beauty! That's one Platina International! Keep it that way!! I love the look of this one... You can see the age of the beast... It tells a story i always say... New Paint... Happens in a couple of days (perhaps a week) Platina takes many years to create. All i would do is give remove some of the 'deep rust' and 'restore that' and after that 3 clear coats of paint... And yes id restore the Chrome parts... That way it really shows off. (But that's what i would do to it :) ) Love the sound of the 6/71 engine!
Not sure of the cab paint fate yet and I'm not a new shiny paint fan myself. Id like to thin down the primer off the doors to maybe find the original markings first. It was a bread delivery truck from Salisbury NC. Paint the chassis, engine and trans for sure. Cab all depends on whats found on the doors. Not much chrome on it.. I do have aluminum tanks for it.. not polished.
Ha Ha Lol. But those cabs are skinny. The daycab versions I like the best of these are the ones with the short frame. Like the one you have. I know there was a trucking company in the 70s called O.N.C, and they ran trucks like the ones I'm talking about.
@@1965Gindy Yeah.. it's only 15 feet bumper to frame tail. The short wheel base with Detroit Diesel power.. make me feel its an odd old truck for sure. The 65-68 4000's use the older narrower DCO Emeryville frame. It changed in 68/69 with the 4070A from my findings.
Don't understand the fascination people have with cold starts, plain and simple.... it's damn hard on a diesel engine!! A diesel engine should always de warmed somehow someway, and then a dab of ether if needed, and never let it gallop, set it to idle high enough to run steady! OK, now let the "experts" retort with the negative comments! Happy New Year everyone! Ron
RJ 1999 no his comment is based on fact. Read a diesel engine owners manual. You should never warm up a diesel at low idle, always use high idle. Warm weather start up procedure for a Detroit is start engine, once oil pressure indicates 40psi increase idle to 800-1000 rpm for a duration of 3 minutes. Cold weather is the same except maintain high idle until temperature passes 100°f
@@coreyschmidt1647 funny , not only have I been a diesel mechanic for 35+ years, I own about 30 diesel engines on our farm 1 which happens to be an 8v71 Detroit . Failures due to starting incorrectly-0 Failures due to warming at an idle or just off idle-0 Failures due to engine galloping-0
@RJ 1999 ok so you're a mechanic. Ive seen plenty of terrible mechanics that have been on the job as long or longer than you. Improper warm up procedure doesn't cause immediate failure as you are trying to imply(leads me to believe you are a crappy mechanic) it causes excessive wear over the life of the engine. And don't come at me with some BS that you know more than the manufacturer of the engine.
@@VOLKSWAGNUT Nice find. You don't usually see many slab cabs of any make surviving. That would definitely make a nice toy for the summer and spring truck shows.
These short bed cab overs look so evil and sound evil especially with a Detroit. I remember seeing and hearing Detroit diesels everywhere as a kid in the 80s. I didn’t realize at the time but now I can assume our garbage truck had a 6v71 or 671 inline in it. That sucker was loud and you’d hear him rev up the engine to move the compactor.
Actually.. in reality ... its pretty close.. this video does not represent it well.. Later.. I found the fuel stop cable was binding hence the hard start and.. the fight of the governor to keep it running. I should have known better by the lack of the full fuel start

What a fine ole girl!!! Love it!!!!
nothing better than seeing an Mean green and beasty international startup!
I need this truck in my life! !!
That thing is a beast😃👍.!
Beauty! That's one Platina International! Keep it that way!! I love the look of this one... You can see the age of the beast... It tells a story i always say... New Paint... Happens in a couple of days (perhaps a week) Platina takes many years to create. All i would do is give remove some of the 'deep rust' and 'restore that' and after that 3 clear coats of paint... And yes id restore the Chrome parts... That way it really shows off. (But that's what i would do to it :) )
Love the sound of the 6/71 engine!
Not sure of the cab paint fate yet and I'm not a new shiny paint fan myself. Id like to thin down the primer off the doors to maybe find the original markings first. It was a bread delivery truck from Salisbury NC. Paint the chassis, engine and trans for sure. Cab all depends on whats found on the doors. Not much chrome on it.. I do have aluminum tanks for it.. not polished.
@@VOLKSWAGNUT A Platina truck it will be 'Working Class'
@@AllianceB95 Im sure you mean Patina'd ??
@@VOLKSWAGNUT Yup
I have always loved the day cab versions
It's growing on me.. haha
Ha Ha Lol. But those cabs are skinny. The daycab versions I like the best of these are the ones with the short frame. Like the one you have. I know there was a trucking company in the 70s called O.N.C, and they ran trucks like the ones I'm talking about.
@@1965Gindy Yeah.. it's only 15 feet bumper to frame tail. The short wheel base with Detroit Diesel power.. make me feel its an odd old truck for sure. The 65-68 4000's use the older narrower DCO Emeryville frame. It changed in 68/69 with the 4070A from my findings.
VOLKSWAGNUT do you know what the a stands for.
@@1965Gindy I do not..
Don't understand the fascination people have with cold starts, plain and simple.... it's damn hard on a diesel engine!! A diesel engine should always de warmed somehow someway, and then a dab of ether if needed, and never let it gallop, set it to idle high enough to run steady! OK, now let the "experts" retort with the negative comments! Happy New Year everyone! Ron
I agree.
Your comment is based on feelings not facts.
RJ 1999 no his comment is based on fact. Read a diesel engine owners manual. You should never warm up a diesel at low idle, always use high idle. Warm weather start up procedure for a Detroit is start engine, once oil pressure indicates 40psi increase idle to 800-1000 rpm for a duration of 3 minutes. Cold weather is the same except maintain high idle until temperature passes 100°f
@@coreyschmidt1647 funny , not only have I been a diesel mechanic for 35+ years, I own about 30 diesel engines on our farm 1 which happens to be an 8v71 Detroit .
Failures due to starting incorrectly-0
Failures due to warming at an idle or just off idle-0
Failures due to engine galloping-0
@RJ 1999 ok so you're a mechanic. Ive seen plenty of terrible mechanics that have been on the job as long or longer than you. Improper warm up procedure doesn't cause immediate failure as you are trying to imply(leads me to believe you are a crappy mechanic) it causes excessive wear over the life of the engine. And don't come at me with some BS that you know more than the manufacturer of the engine.
A look inside the cab would have been great!
Check out the straight stack test fit video for some interior shots.
That is incredibly good shape
Yes I think so too. It was like opening a time capsule. Very low mileage and hours sealed the deal for me.
@@VOLKSWAGNUT Nice find. You don't usually see many slab cabs of any make surviving. That would definitely make a nice toy for the summer and spring truck shows.
Super saaaweeeet international 4000, would like to hear you drive it down the road.
In time.. stay tuned
Nice old Farmall truck glad it’s still going
Those 2 cycle detroits have a special sound
I drove a 1970 coe 4000 with a. 6 /71 and a ten speed. Tandem axle
Love them old Yamahas!
Such a gentle hunt from the ol girl.. and that sound.. oof. Bet she screams up on the loud juice
Reminds me of a GMC Crackerbox.
These short bed cab overs look so evil and sound evil especially with a Detroit. I remember seeing and hearing Detroit diesels everywhere as a kid in the 80s. I didn’t realize at the time but now I can assume our garbage truck had a 6v71 or 671 inline in it. That sucker was loud and you’d hear him rev up the engine to move the compactor.
Love that Detroit sound!
Nothing but 40# in a Detroit.
30 and 50 are also ok.. but yes straight grade and low ash is a must. 30/40/50 .
Awesome thanks for everything
No ether Sunday LMAO, great ol rig bud!
Hauled a lot of grain with one just like it.
I don't know much about diesels...but every Detroit I hear is very loud
It's a 2 stroke diesel is why
I was one year old when that baby was built .
Very cool old truck
love to have it spent manny days,in one.
will u sell it.
@@tyronescott8704 Maybe....
Neat little farm bucket....
Ole lopey Detroit idle
Love it! Cool interwhopper
Nice!! Glad you’re fixing it up
love the rack rollin' sound!
It takes straight weight 40 ONLY! No mixes or synthetics. Pure straight 40 in all older Detroit Diesel engines.
Beautiful truck.
Needs to adjust the buffer
Actually.. in reality ... its pretty close.. this video does not represent it well.. Later.. I found the fuel stop cable was binding hence the hard start and.. the fight of the governor to keep it running. I should have known better by the lack of the full fuel start
No def ....yay
153624 and one rotation of the 6/71 use the 7 rule setting of valves and injectors at same time 3 valves and 4 injector = 7
learned that in the P.I. ...from the head Eng overhaul man.
