i drove a 79 transtar2 for 5 years over the road it wasnt a eagle but it had the big cam cummins and 13 speed.that truck was a beast for pulling heavy loads mostly 79000 i pulled.it never broke tlil it hit 900 thousand miles fuel pump dyed in nebraska at 2am i coasted off interstate found a gravel road about a thousand feet in.i crawled ota cab jacked it up looked both ways saw nuthing but corn.nahh more than corn coyote pack came right up howling and screaming.i crawled back up with cab tilted forward and slept over steering wheel and waited for daylight.mine was a copper metallic with a red orange and maroon stripes never seen one since that color or combo.back then had no cell phone we used a paper from dispatch to get you close and then it was your respoinsibility to have quarters to call the to guide you in.i kept alot of quarters
Johnhanson4795 your bringing back lots of memories. I’m 65 so I’ve worked on and driven lots of Cornbinders. My brother in law had an Eagle with a 400 Big Cam and 13 speed. I always liked that truck. Specially those chrome air cleaner covers
Thats very cool.our fleet had one eagle tan with 3 stripes and duel stacks had brown leather interior
I definitely would have saved the International at any cost. Would have put a fifth wheel on it as
Well to pull trailers
I would make a little cabin on my property!
@@timothyhill9146 sounds like a great idea, go for it
@@timothyhill9146
Do you have any idea how much it would cost to restore that thing? By the time you get done you would have more than twice what it's worth in it. A Kenworth, or Pete would be a better choice. And a truck in better condition to start with.
@@bertgrau3934 Yeah, at that rate you could buy a barn-kept international for about the same price.
DISCLAIMER, only for the diesel truck enthusiasts, not for the average viewer, I love it!!! 😊
Waiting for part 2.
I remember when those Transtars were new. That wrap around dash was state of the art at the time. I always thought they were cool looking trucks also
Max helping Dad!!!
Definitely a 350 (855) Big Cam Cummins. The box on the left side of the engine indicates it's a Big Cam right off the bat. Definitely worth saving this 4070, but you have a lot of work cut out for you. Didn't help that someone smashed the drivers side glass allowing rodents to make a home in the cab. Also, don't throw an empty filter on the fuel system. Fill them up first. You're just inducing air into the fuel system.
I did fill the fuel filter up with the inline pump. Just didn’t show
LOL whuh oh! A heated argument has ensued over a fuel filter. Was it empty? Was it full? Everybody calm down!!!!!@@99Projects
So 4 months since this video what happened to part 2
One man doing ALL that work, amazing
Subbed. I really liked that you did both the recovery of the International, the engine assessment, the take out and a good part of the swap in one video. I would have saved that INTL cab and put it on top of the storage box. Looks like no corrosion, and it's classic.
Thank you
That’s a cool idea, I still have the cab, maybe I’ll stick it up on top of my shop!
I wonder if a pile of old tires might have given the cab a softer landing, or some kind of rope restraint. I would sell the cab or part it out to help other COE's get or stay on the road. Same for the engine. If I could have removed the oil pan and replaced rod bearing in the frame, I would have done so, but now that it's out, it can be sold to someone else who wants to do it, and sold intact with no rod smashed through the side of the block
@@alan6832 dropping it on tires would have been a good idea. the glass didn't break tho
I guess I’m getting older than I thought. Someone looks at the back of a Cummins NTC 350 and thinks it might be a Cat 3406. Where has time gone ???
I love these videos. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Will do!
Those International cabovers are badass looking
That unit has a ton of good parts. Putting it back on the road is very doable.
I don’t believe it will cost much as you think.
I’ve done a lot of restorations and this is a good unit to do so.
I do love the Louisville’s. The LTS as a dump truck is my all time fav. I would take a Louisville any day over a Pete or Kenny.
It depends how much money is worth to a person, and if THEY even want the truck. Because yes they restore it, and they just don't like the truck. Too expensive and not worth it
Great stuff 👍lookin forward to seeing the dump truck run with that bigger engine
You and I both
Cool project guys. I’ve never seen such a small engine and a dump truck before that made me laugh. I hope y’all get that diesel in and working good.
I love what you do. It's so exciting watching you and your partner getting things done. Can't wait to see the house get done. Now this truck and engine. You have so much experience and knowledge of everything you do. I'm from Vancouver BC Canada. Keep up the good work......
Thank you, I wouldn’t say I have a lot of knowledge, im just really good at learning from mistakes lol
I enjoyed watching this. Getting the engine is quite the accomplishment. You making it look so easy. I know nothing about engines period. Look forward to part two.
And he doesn't have a clue either lolol
Well, I think the International COE would be better with a roll on/roll off trash container bracket on the chassis in case for using the vehicle on certain jobs. It just needs an extra tandem axle, the chassis stretched to fit the roll on/roll off bracket, and a good paint job.
We have a single axle at work and still run 30 yard boxes with it. The cabover would shorten the wheelbase to the absolute minimum. If the frame is long enough, it would be perfect
Problem is, he clearly wants to spend, zero dollars.
VERY impressive for a first time effort,Man what a big job with tons of difficulty.Its always amazed me the time and money guys put into their trucks.Its also amazing these trucks go back to work with a whole new life after this type of job.Very very cool stuff!!
Thanks
I had a 280 Cummins on the early 90s . They erected very fuel sensitive if the system has an air leak or the fuel filter starts to clod with s++t they will either loose power or stop altogether I know from experience! The fuel gauge was reading 1/4 fuel but was empty, ran out of fuel on a motorway (UK) called out tow truck and the driver was useless and didn’t know anything about Cummins. All he wanted to do was tow me off the motorway to a garage 20 miles away . No way was I doing that ! So , I taught him how to bleed the system and left him scratching his head , disappointed he didn’t get the towing charge . These engines are pretty bulletproof if you take care of them.
Wow! That drone footage and music made a great intro!
If they work, I'd have saved the air horns from the International.
Thanks
44 years ago I started driving truck I started out in one of these. Enjoyed that ol girl.
G'day from Down Under,,,
Great video so far ,,
Can't wait to see the rest of this beast go together.
Good luck with her, hope it goes well for you .
Respect.....!
Awesome to hear from everyone around the world
Tough job , but you got it this far without killing yourself . Great video .
That’s the goal lol thank you
Super cool project. Subbed and looking forward to part 2.
Thank you
my favorite parts were after two chains snapped and the old gas engine leapt at you. you brought up safety. and then out came the hard hat. hahaha no its an awesome video guys! me my dad and brothers snapped many chains.
Kinda funny when you put it that way lol

Applaud your energy and efforts- new to your channel. Old Diesel tech (retired x3)!
Hi, this is Milton from Brazil. Congrats, great job back putting on the road this engine !!
Thank you, great to hear from Brazil!
I drove a 70 that only had a 250 cummins in it 13 speed Roadranger, POOCHMOBILE at best but then rear ends were geared WAY too high. Smoked the entire trips loaded or empty. Seat fell out, accelerator peddle pulled down wide open on left turns, no power steering , gear shift was so loose you hit your hands on the bunk and dash, clutch peddle took both feet to hold it down! Drove it for a year then quit and went to drive for another guy that had a Kenworth W-900 extended hood , N-14 cummins, 10 speed roadranger, power steering, etc. DREAM truck!! lol
Killer content…first video I watched and I’m super impressed! Keep on truckin
I drove a few of those corn binders in the 70s and early 80s.
Really love watching your projects.👍👍💛🍻
Thanks
Best and hardworking cold start
you don't really need to justify taking the engine you need from that truck. now, having said that, that truck is completely restorable. in fact, it's a pretty good restoration candidate, but again, it's your truck.
Exactly. It's like history that we will never see again being discarded.
I thought that. I have watched (far too many) posts where people have restored things that were in a much worse state. Then again you have to be prepared to find people to take it off your hands and that itself takes up time and effort. I do admire his courage taking on such a big project and doing it mostly on his own. Well done that man.
It depends how much money is worth to a person, and if THEY even want the truck. Because yes they restore it, and they just don't like the truck. Too expensive and not worth it, and how about YOU buy it if you feel like you have any say or control over someone else's project, parts vehicle, or their own preference

@@haydenrubly How about YOU read my comment and try to comprehend what it means. Man can do whatever the hell he wants to do with his own truck and yes it's a restorable truck. Maybe you should learn to read before running your mouth.
This channel hopefully takes off for you my friend, really in depth and interesting videos. Im sat watching here in England so its getting out there. Look forward to the next one.
Thank you. It’s cool to see people watching from around the world. I had another guy comment from Ukraine
Cool, all of us around the world are the same anything with a big diesel engine and you got our attention lol. Good luck with the rebuild my friend.
@@rollo6038 I guess so, its really neat to hear from you guys in other countries
Great project! I dig the old Ford💪
I REALLY wanted to buy one of these, but didnt follow through. Glad you did!
Watching that Cab crash down broke my heart.
It was hard to do man
Me to
Looks good and I’m only 5 minutes in. That thing should fire right up, they never die. Hope it works!
I’m a huge international fan but I understand that not everything can be fixed and parts for this particular model would be extremely hard to find and extremely expensive but at least the truck will live on in a sense just in a different truck can’t wait to see the video where you get the other truck running with this motor ❤
I like it already, a classic needs a little TLC BUT looks like a lot of fun to me
Working in the dirt and making it up as you go along....very much like my operation..... I run mid 90's Isuzu FTS600 4WD crane trucks on a remote island. No computers. Just put a dome shelter up and now my ass is dry in winter. Cheers from NZ....
Those transtars are old school cool!
I love all the old cabovers!
Subbed. I watched the video of you buying the dump truck as well. As they say about hard workers around here, "you got some bulldog blood in your veins". Good luck with your channel.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Hope you enjoy the videos. I have another one coming out tomorrow morning
Suggestions: shorten the chain, put the chain over bucket gives you more lift, and please dont get in and out os the skid steer when the arms are up. You have a buddy have him hook the chain.
Good advice. I gotta stop getting out with the arms up. Old habits
I think it’s great to take some thing older and put new life in it great job 😊
Thanks
That was great work!! Nice job!
Thank you
Smart man right there . When he said “lets get something to cover that turbo in case it runs away “ lol oh yeah, thats shit is TERRIFYING!
Great effort. You deserve success.
Thank you
Worked for a fracking company in Utah in early 80’s and our pump trucks were B models. We had 6V-92 TA ‘s in ours. Weren’t good on rough oil field roads but not much was. Always liked the Eagles
Awesome been waiting on the engine swap since the short clip.
It’s getting closer
I dont blame for not wanting to keep that International cab. I drove those things when they were new, the Cummins engine, Eaton transmission, and dtive axles were great. The cabs were junk.
First time? hard to belief. well done!
I suggest splitting a video like this into two, will it start and engine swap.
Just wow! Cool video👍🏾
Thank you
Really Cool looking cab over.
Well done, great fun
glad i hooked on mate im very keen to hear her fire up in the new body
Yeppers,that engine will be very nice in the dump truck. Good 🤞 job guys 👏.
Great project, your a hard workin dude, subbed to your channel !
Thank you, really appreciate that
fill the new fuel filter with fuel or ATF, that fuel looks that way because they put the used motor oil in it, won't hurt a thing
Nice find, not sounding bad. Some guys use the framing for structural material for a garage.
Good luck guys
I’d love to see this back on the road
Buddies, you're amazing ones !
Always good to see people who want to do this.😅
Cool idea
strong camarata vibes here. love it.
I started driving in 88 with Schneider with one of their 84 barnyard Cadillacs without power steering that was a treat you sure didn’t over steer backing that huzzie up lol
Great content!
Whatched the whole video brother and subbed great stuff man👍
Awesome thanks man
I love this stuff!
Man, this was great work guys! gives me hope that i can diesel swap my F250 someday. it has the 460 gas want a 7.3 and i know that is its own bag of worms, but this gives me courage. haha
Oh yea man, that’s do able. Takes some time and a little creativity is all
Nice work 👍👍👍
Love this swap!! Well worth the time and effort!!!!!!!!
Man, Creedence just goes with everything, amirite?
Incredible how you got that engine and transmission in there on your own!
Give that big cam Cummins fuel , it will run and run well for being parked so long .
It would have been nice to see the old international back on the road but I also understand the financial side of it to.
I once had a 1972 square body Chevrolet truck & to someone it would have been a nice project but for me I wasn't willing to pit a bunch of money in something that I would never get back.
Hopefully the diesel engine will be good to where your dump truck can give you year's more on the road.
Awesome video, love your channel👍👍👍👍
Thank you
@@99Projects How could we contact you? Thank you.
@@hoists1829 contact99projects@gmail.com
Cool video keep them going I will to how the other truck goes after the engine
Thanks. There will be a video on that as well
You should make captions for Max as he is always judging everything you do! Lol
That’s a good idea lol
Yes I think they are cool too my late father drove a 1981 international transtar 2 cab over it was new at the time I was 17 years old when he got it new he drove for Seward motor fright
That’s cool man, I’d love to see photos of that. And if you’re interested I’ll put the pictures in the next video. send me a picture to my email if you’d like.
That truck cab would make an interesting little hunting camp I believe
That’s a cool idea
I spent many miles in one of these, 'o boy, do I know that dash.
I'd say it's a Cummins - good luck
You are brave walking through that thick growth around this truck! Watch for ticks!
You guys better get more impact sockets!!
Good channel sweet project 👍
Thank you
Great work
Thank you
I'm about 3 minutes in so i could be wrong but that appears to be a cummins big cam. The heads and box hanging off of them is very distinctive.
It is, it’s actually stamped right on the side of the block, “big cam”
love your music just tunend in
My thought also was that the cab would go great on top of the container; make a great observation post. It would also make a first class ice shack. just sayin'...
Dude, the ice shack idea would be freakin awesome!
@@99Projects Or a deer stand
I think they look pretty cool too
ypu do what is best for you, and keep maken this nice content
You could take that cabin, put it on a dodge mega cab, Dooley frame with some stacks and pull your RV around
All of that lovely clutch asbestos dust being blown around. Yummy!!
When I was a kid those were everywhere and running local and short regional runs.
Block n tackle good.
Loved it thanks
International Transtar is a good truck, Pulled a lot of furniture, in my 48102 drop frame, And theres nothing wrong with the way they look.
