Great job with the video sir! She's definitely a beauty. I grew up when these trux ruled the roads. Fixed up and pulling a reefer, that truck can still make $$$!
I once drove a 1963 Emeryville two -axle for several years hauling almonds in the Central San Juaquin. The ugly thing grows on you. It had the best visibility of any C/O I ever drove. Great memories. Thanks for showing us the old timer. Perfect candidate for a mild restoration. I don't think the engine was stock. I'm guessing early sixties?
I drove the same looking truck 5 years, Had a 290 cumming Pulled furniture for white clove movers east to west, Great Truck. I had fuel turned up to 24 hundred, That would fly up hill,s loaded., 10 speed road ranger.
A dco 405..great shape for the surroundings it s in..my experiences with these are a long time ago..250 cummins loud donaldson mufflers and 5 speed box..3 speed rear axles..standards for the times..22 inch rubber..fairly fast at 72 mph top end..great visibility..lots of fleets used these.and detroits were the more common engines as they weren t as finicky as the cummins and did a good job..love the look of these and the Hayes cabover with the F model Mack custom cab..those were great days to be a commercial operator..and most drivers back then were very professional
I agree not a cat expert but I think most the other cats have the injection pump in the other side I believe back in the day it was common practice to take these out and put them trucks as they were only available in heavy equipment
I am pretty sure that Cat engine is a 1673 they were made as truck engine's I am pretty sure Cat had a different number designation on the engine in heavy equipment and also the equipment engine had more cast iron on it. They tried to save weight on the truck engine's it probably about 250 horsepower somewhere around 10 liters relatively a small engine.I am a retired truck mechanic and I have worked on these when I was a pup.
More than likely 5 speed main with Three speed Eaton rear ends. Very popular back then. My Dad drove one for Pillsbury and my Uncle Don drove one for Schneider hauling swinging beef to NYC out of Edgar, Wisconsin
I don’t envy your uncle. I hauled swinging beef into hunts point back in the eighties. Not only could swinging beef be a nightmare to haul but hunts point was a great place to get yourself robbed or worse. The mob ran that place.

Like #58. Love these kind of Old rig finding vids. I dont think there should be any rust on that cab. Years ago I had a teacher who worked on the Emeryville assembly line when he was a kid. In class, he'd tell us stories about how they used long pipe jacks to twist the "aluminum" cabs, tweaking them straight after welding some part in the assembly process. I remember him saying "Aluminum cabs".
Hard to believe it's not total swiss cheese. Would definitely try to save it! When I got into trucks professionally the transtars were the mainliners. Would love to find a 4070 or 352 double bunk.
There's a guy here on youtube who loves to snap up old crackerboxes and Emeryville's has several restored already. Im sure he would love to restore it.
Nice rig to restore. A lot of people do not realize that the movie industry uses a lot of old trucks like this as props in making their movies. Of course after they are restored Lol. .
Looks like a 1693 CAT they had the injection pump on the right side of the motor with the turbo on top of the manifold , very nice find you don't run up on an Emeryville in that good of shape that's been sitting out that long
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Yes you are correct after reviewing the video it is to small to be a 1693. I am a retired truck mechanic and I worked on some of these trucks they were very popular in their day. Did the tag on the door show that truck originally having a 903 Cummins 365 that was a lot bigger horse than the 1673 which was only about 10 liters. I worked on a lot of 1673 engine's and I have found that guys really liked the 903 or they really hated it. The 1673s became 3306s an updated improved version with more power. That would sure be a nice restored truck.
@@danhuttinger5040 I'm not too sure if that was an original 903 or not in there. You are right it was one of those motors you either loved it or you hated it.
I've thought a lot about trying to find one of these in this good of shape. I wanna put a 6BT under it , and use it for a camper puller. I bought a flat nose Blue Bird school bus to convert into a motorhome, but had much rather sit one of these over the engine, and shorten the frame. Scrap the rest of the bus body.
Worked for a Red Ball Mover carrier and thought I was going to freeze to death in one of those going over Donner. Try driving covered up in a furniture pad!LOL
265hp cummins? That' a 785 v8. Same block as the v6 they put in the ford's. I have a friend with an Autocar with that engine. Almost bankrupted cummins. So now it has a cat. Too bad it doesn't have the 375hp IH engine in it. That'd be a rare beast
The interior looks like an old military truck. Simple seats and the way the dash is. Maybe International can help you with information about it for restoring it.
That was the big cat back then. Dad had one in a 71 long nose 359. Weird to see in a ih cabover tho. If you are not gonna save it let me know where its at.
Attaching the manufacturer's data plates to the inside of the door (which could be easily removed) rather than to the cab itself doesn't seem to be a very smart idea.
Just saw you're video an you did just fine. If you can get your hands on it restore it! Look like its almost all therean that's half the battle! Will be a pain to get parts but it's got bones! Good luck with it,will make some good future videos

It’s a great idea to save these old trucks, but you have to have very deep pockets.
Exactly and where to store and work on it. I'd ditch the Cat and put a Detroit in it . Be a great project.

903 Cummins was not offered in the Emeryville, unless one was put in as an after thought
It could have come with a Cummins 555, but that cat looks like a 3406b
Cummins had a 504 cubic inch V8 prior to the 555 also

I can only imagine. Wow, heaters on high and still freezing. My old 67 pete was the same way. Drove with a snow suit on and mittens.
My kind of old truck!
I’m thinking caterpillar engine .That’s exactly what I would do go on someone’s property,to look at an old truck!
It wouldn’t be cheep, but would a great save!
Cool as f##k!!! Would love to see this restored..

Been trying to find an owner but hitting dead ends. I'll keep digging!
Factory was probably a 555, maybe that a 1673 or 1674?

Famous last words. 💀
Wasn't posted right???? Lol
@@thesteelcowboy1621 right lol
Save it for sure...

That's a caterpillar motor
! plz let me know info on where it is an if its for sale ?
Save the old truck
Looks like a 425hp 1693. Strong engines back in their day. Nothing could touch them back in the day
That was the big cat back then. Dad had one in a 71 long nose 359. Weird to see in a ih cabover tho. If you are not gonna save it let me know where its at.
The problem with a big horsepower engine , the rest of the drive line couldn't handle the Torque.
trucker style shawn is looking for an emeryville
The glass is still good in it, that's a positive start right there!
It is actually a DCO 405 F
Maybe call Diesel Creek?
I think that yellow engine is a cat.
Definently Cat , not a 1693. My first guess is 1673 turbo is on backwards or industrial 1674 or 3306 . Pic is not good enough to definitely to tell.
Fuel pump definitely looks 1673
+1 for "pushrod" 1673.
AKA D333 industrial.
Neat truck
That is a CATERPILLAR engine. A 3306 or an earlier 1673.
I know where one is that is alot nicer
It must be a CAT power
Thinking 1674 or 1673
@@thesteelcowboy1621 yeah one of those I guess
i would rebuild it

Looks like a cat engine
It look like a cat motor
Like to have it
I'd say it's either a 1673 or 1693 if it came with a v8 Cummings I'd think it was a 555 or 903. That truck definitely needs to be saved
thats a 1673 1674 fuel pump was on left side 1693 was a lot larger with big aftercooler cummins made a v8 265hp complete flop
Please buy it and then restore it 0ld Iron is the best
I've been definitely thinking about trying to find the owner. The property is abandoned, sheds burned down etc. It's to clean to let rot there!
Cat
Cat engine
What do you think? 1673?
Would have to guess it prob came with the 903 cummins then was swapped to a 1693 cat. Being the pump is on the right side
The Emeryville was discontinued long before the 903 Cummins came along.
