My dad was a trucker in the 1970's he drove for Roadway....i was a teenager at the time and loved these old tractors...remember when UPS used these without sleepers.....
Love these ol' transtars. Wish more guys would put these old cabovers back on the road. It's a treat seeing them compared to all the plastic stuff on the road these days.
Put a handyman jack to lift the cab I love the IH trucks drove them for years wish I had one thay never left me on the side of the road God bless you for keeping the tradition alive
Brings back great memories. This was an old Saunders Leasing truck out of Montgomery, Alabama. I used to run with this bunch up the east coast and midwest. My favorite truck of all time was a "72 Transtar that I bought with about 800,000 miles. Straight 250 with a 13 speed that Conagra used to haul grain. If I had only kept the thing.
HEY WILEY. YAAAY you're like a really cool grandpa...ooh I see a new hat there...cool...my dad had a 1980 transtar. I was a baby boy but I remember it he used to drive for north American van lines..he would drive the whole thing down our residential street and come scoop me and my mom up and take us cross country with him .
Hey it’s Wiley! Hanks friend from Hamilton farms! Hello sir. You are a clever ,funny, man with great knowledge of the old semis and tractors! I’m subscribing to ur channel and hope it takes off for u.
I'm glad the ol truck started!! The law care guy is standing in the background like he's ready to whoop butt? A man would think he would be happy to see his grandfather's truck running and want to be a part of it. Great video y'all!!!!!!
Greetings from Cornwall in the UK, just wanted to let you know that was a brilliant video Wiley, 1st One I have watched, no nonsense or tomfoolery, just straight to the point......have subbed and look forward to watching the rest of your videos,
@@DontbeWily u are old school mechanic. No computer diagnostics or internet info. Just trial n error and knowledge from hands on. Great job sir. I’m sure Hank is lost without you. Lol 😊
The Ford is ‘67 to ‘72 , love the channel, I’ve never worked on 18 wheelers, but Log Skidders , Draglines and Excavators and old school diesel equipment I’ve either fixed or fixed it where nobody else could !!! Know What I Mean Vern !!!
My great uncle started is owner operator career in 1969 4070 transtar. Great vid. Later on he got another transtar with a 8v92. Always had stories that was the worst motor to try and make a living with. He was a cummins man from way back. He passed away recently and he is who got me in the truckin business. Wish he woulda seen this!! He went to montgomery alabama for 25 years. Its what i do now. Montgomery once a week.
Fantastic truck, I love them Transtars. Hey Wiley you are a credit to us oldies, just get out there and do it. Great video, thanks, take care, all the best from England, UK.
Wiley, for a lot of years I was a mechanic for logging and roadbuilding companies and dealt with the same type of equipment you work on. During my career, I have had only two batteries blow up, I was lucky once the drivers door was open and protected me, got just a little acid on my coveralls and once the batteries were on the opposite side of where I was standing. After that, I started wearing safety glasses, figuring I had used up my luck. Just saying think about it. I am old and retired now and just mess with my own stuff for entertainment, love your videos keep it up.
International trucks are really nostalgic to me. My Grand Father used to have one of these, and my Father used to have an 80 PayStar 5000 International and sold it about 5 years ago! I don't know if you can believe it or not, but these trucks are still on the road in Iran!
In the west its “cheaper” to borrow the money to buy a new truck than to keep an old one on the road. In canada they are buying old semi trucks putting them in containers and shipping them to nigeria. Its crazy. the new stuff we buy wont last nearly as long as the old trucks, its ass backwards.
Brings back memories , I drove one like this in the nineties. big cam cummins , ten speed fuller. Moved a lot of freight with it ! That Ford was either a 71 or 72.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Congratulations Wiley and Jacob. You got it running. Yeah!!!!!!! Good job after all those years of sitting. Good old truck yet. The intl loadstars are hard to come by now days. You got it running and that is what counts. Thanks for everything Wiley and Jacob. Was a fun video. The Iowa Farm Boy.
Want to really go nostalgic? Let's talk about the R190 with the 450 Red Diamond 5x3. That was the first big truck I ever drove when I was in high school. And I agree about the Loadstars and the "glug glug" sound those 345's made.
At one time back when I was still a child, "INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR II" were a number one choice amongst OWNER OPERATORS. I knew of four families myself who owned one, Most of them are either dead or retired by now. But they all told me they were inexpensive to own and maintain, And they were tough as nails then. "MY GOD, I LOVE WATCHING OTHERS SHOW A LOVE TOWARDS THESE OLD WORK HORSES OF YESTERYEAR."
Awesome Video, Keep up the good Work It’s great to see Old Machinery and Trucks that Have Been Abandoned Be Brought back to Life Either for Show or for Work, Everything was made differently back then. Great Video👍🏽👏🏽
So glad i found your channel great content and to the point not a lot of joke telling and story telling just great content plain and simple thanks so much for taking the time to video and share
My dad started out in a International in the mid 60's as an independent. Then later a Ford cabover, both being worn out. He was leased to Dealers Transit. Around 68-69 he got a much newer F model Mack. With a powerful V8 & twin exhaust. Then he leased on to Melton Truck Lines. Love those old cabovers and learned to drive in them. My truck was a late 80's K100A Kenworth with an industrial KT450 Cummins 15Sp.
Nothing really said Willey on RUclips intro, had to find out. Got into the video, Gosh that sounds like Willey.!! Great to see and hear you again! Always great start videos! Total best of luck my friend!
Good one Wiley! How about a bottle Jack and some blocks of wood to raise the cab to get better access? I think the old gal is gonna run once it starts getting fuel.👍👍👍👍👍
Course I started out driving lawnmowers and then tractors but when I got my CDL and 92 that is what I practiced on was a 1979 TranstarII - company kept it around and headway over 1,000,000 miles, but the odometer was busted on it. But that suspension would break your teeth. Great solid old truck
Agreed on early statement likin' - used to not so much, but now that i'm older, a treasure. Especially this IH - one owner. I done had to run my 1979 Porsche 928 like that, squirtin' go juice in a pulse to run it cuz the first pump in tank was froze. Hope she gets to rollin' n shinin' sometime. Verified worthy!

At one time back when I was still a child,
"INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR II"
were a number one choice amongst OWNER OPERATORS.
I knew of four families myself who owned one,

But they all told me they were inexpensive to own and maintain,
And they were tough as nails then.

My dad started out in a International in the mid 60's as an independent. Then later a Ford cabover, both being worn out. He was leased to Dealers Transit. Around 68-69 he got a much newer F model Mack. With a powerful V8 & twin exhaust. Then he leased on to Melton Truck Lines. Love those old cabovers and learned to drive in them. My truck was a late 80's K100A Kenworth with an industrial KT450 Cummins 15Sp.
