Those Budd wheels really set those trucks off..BLING!🥰 I remember a driver in my hometown owning a Emeryville...you could really hear him coming up the road. They had a unique look! 🤩
One of the first trucks I drove was 400 with a 318. The man from Opp I drove for Rhett Butler back in 2000-2002 sorry to hear they went out of business, he was a great man to work for.
The Transtar 400 was an ancestor of the T600 KW, it had the best visibility of any truck of that era, Great Dash too, Tach and Speedo front and center, rest of instruments in center wing like all binders of the day and that wonderful V brake pedal.
I'm presently restoring one now - 1980 International Transtar II COF-4070B flatbed. Can't wait to bring it to my first show, maybe this year, most likely next- in Oregon.
In 1980 as I started driving trucks there was a driver lived in OPP Al who was still running a C.O. like that and it was a old truck then. I always thought they looked like a Grasshopper Head but very interesting. Great Trucks and I am happy to see that there's some still around.
I remember going with my dad in a International cabover and convetional like these hauling hay ,they were truck and trailer setups ,he had a hay boom they would load in imperial Calif.and unload in Chino or Artesia Calif. That was in the 50s and 60s
There use to be a guy around here that ran those Transtars . Had a couple hauling trailer dumps & a couple Tri-axles TETZ Trucking I believe out of Waerbury Ct area. About 10 yr's ago there was one sitting o a farm in Watertown Ct. Blk & Red colors too.
Those are 2 of my favorite trucks of all time. I'm not a COE fan by any means but the early IH 's were awesome. Those 2 sound like they're in their prime. Sad , pulling them with a KW. LOL
Pretty trucks. IMO classic Emeryville 220 or 250 Cummins with exhaust manifold exit at rear of manifold for "Emeryville pop" in exhaust note. Ross cam steering closest thing to power steering back then. Early 70s turned 700+ mile loop with an Emeryville twice a week from NJ to White Modell stores in upstate NY.
Hard to believe, but those two models shared a cab, IH was way ahead of their time. Other examples are Astro/General, White Road Comode/ Road Boss. not sure on some of the Freightliners, there may be more?
Declaring a corn binder c.o.e. to be a classic does not diminish the memory of driving several. Hot, cramped, loose linkage, no power steering, noisy, the hard pounding ride and poorly operating wipers (never in sinc!). Did you know that a Detroit Diesel would run backwards? Not well but backwards. I did it, accidentally, of course.
Out of all the stuff that you have recorded this has to be my favorite👍

I like the rims on the conventional
Man what a great looking Emeryville Cabover!!
Internationals at one time was the best money makers on the road
yes they were, my buddys dad had 100 of them. Haag truck lines in Vincennes Indiana
Two of the coolest looking CO's ever built..

The sounds of real trucks.
Great looking pair of IHC's

Turbo whistle sounds soo good!!
Just the right amount of whistle.
Sounds like a T-590
Two beauties great job restoring them classics all the way
nicest Internationals ever, that Emeryville is a sexy beast!!!
Had a guy I always admired, Ed Hauser, who had a “duck billed conventional”... he loved talking about his old emmeryville, too!

Your 2 International trucks are just Awesome!👍🏽😍❤️
Makes me wanna restore the ‘49 International log truck my friend Ira wants to sell to me for cheap😁
Don't. They're pieces of crap. I'll do you the favor and take it off you friends hands instead😂
Both nice looking trucks would love to take that emeryville on a cross country trip
If you ever get a chance to visit the Tackaberry Collection in Ontario, it is well worth the trip.
I made a trip up there last year for the first time. Amazing collection. It has to be seen to believe.
2 beautiful RIGS! That Transtars frame is so long. It could easily be converted into a straight job! E.g. flat bed tow truck!
Too bad it isn't a Transtar........

You have some really nice trucks. I’m glad that you have these IH rigs...I haven’t seen very many of these until recently.
awesome trucks
Love that Emeryville ❤️
Fu-king sweet trucks!
Those are 2 of my favorite trucks of all time. I'm not a COE fan by any means but the early IH 's were awesome. Those 2 sound like they're in their prime. Sad , pulling them with a KW. LOL
If Tackaberry restores a truck, this is how they all turn out. Better than new honestly.
The thing about it is they look as good as anything being built today!
9300 international he's pulling em with...
Nice sounds good Lots of money fixing up
Like to have the Emeryville for running short freight or even hauling logs
There used to be on the roads back in the day. Amazing how few are left.
Yes. I remember seeing them back in the sixties and early 70's as a kid Its sad there so few left

Certainly spartan compared to the trucks of today but I think a lot was loss in the name of comfort and "simplicity"

Mack and Brockway/Hayes
I thought I entered heaven at2:02.
I hope heaven is like this.
What year is the conventional and is that a 318 in it?. Please get back
sssweet!!!
Switzler turbo
I like the original,, 220 , nothing sounded as good.
Suena con madres esa chata

I can not therefore, I have american motor vehicles in my genetic.
Transstar 400's where butt ugly but roomy inside. Emeryville with a hood.
Better looking than any new truck
