Brother, I thought I was going ta start crying. In that 8 minutes and 11 seconds you took me back 42 yrs ! When I got out of the Marines my older brother had bought a '72 transtar 4200 and was haulin' rock with it and he taught me how ta drive and bought him another and I ran the wheels off that screamin' ass Detroit for 3 yrs before I moved up to a cabover Pete. That was a sweet thing you did for your Dad. I see Torsee said "No A/C" . Back in them days if you had A/C you were shittin' in high cotton hand. We did'nt care about no a/c , hell , I was 20 yrs old and driving a big rig, I did'nt care about no a/c !! 42 yrs later I'm still doin' that deal, except in a $185,000 KW W900, times have changed. thanks for the video bub, great one !!
charles c the move from that 4200 to a cabovers Pete was a serious step down bud. I ran 4300s and then in 85 a, what was is, 9750? A few years later navistar bought international and turned them into junk. They were really good trucks before navistar.
That's the sound of sweet music to my ears, thank you. My dad always wanted a Detroit diesel engine he said they "sounded like a greyhound bus and ours had a 10 speed over/under spicer transmission. I use to do burnouts on gravel roads with it when my dad wasnt there. Awesome memories!
Thanks for the memories drove a 69 Autocar strait pipes 318 detriot 13 speed RR back in the day pulling a trailer dump I miss that old truck and man was she loud !
I am a MACK BULLDOG FREAK- as of late I have fallen hard for iH trucks- I H- trucks - they have this legendary Pedigree from the logging industry days Goodness WHAT A BEAUTY! God bless
In the early 80s I drove an International 4300 with a 350 Detroit and a 13 speed hauling heavy equipment...later in life ran an 88B Bucyrus with a v 12 Detroit love those sounds
Dragonfly, LOL! Couldn't have been any worse than a C.O.E. 60 series GMC with a worn-out 6V53, a 5 + 2, and a 500 gallon stainless milk tank on the back!🤣 It was pretty embarrassing being passed on the Pa. Turnpike by VW buses on a regular basis (back in the 70's when VW buses were still about the slowest thing on the highway).😁👍
This truck looks very cool especially with the 2 cycle Detroit Diesel engine in it. In fact, this truck isn't just cool, its one of the coolest looking restoration projects in the world. Needless to say, the 2 cycle Detroit I think is one of the coolest engines in the world and there is nothing else that can beat it. Anyway, very nice thing you did for your dad, this restoration is an absolute beauty and I am really digging it.
Seeing and hearing that truck sure brings back memories of the old days.I drove one like that as well as a GMC 9200 twin screw.Loved them Only thing that was bad is they didn't like the hills in my state of N.H.
I drove both the fleetstar and loadstar for work. No powersteering or a/c but they had intermittent am radio. They'd work every third bump or so--- lol. Then, over the course of 31 years in fire and ems I drove a bunch of them, from old two stick gmc's and 5/2 Louisvilleliners with front mount pumps and tailboards, road tractors and oil field brine haulers converted to tankers, open rear bench Ford 'C' cabs, to the 'new and improved' high tech crap they call fire apparatus today-- binders and freightliners that ran to the shop like a spooked horse to the barn. Too much electronics and computers (wasn't worth running the siren and lights on some of them that wouldn't get out of their own way!). Nothing like an OLD Detroit, Cummins, Mack, or Cat with a manual trans singing as it goes down the road with a mechanical 'Federal Q', an electronic siren, and air horns warning the traffic ahead. Was much simpler in the good ole days-- .
That's pretty cool truck,I'll bet it's a blast to ride in it,That's nice gift for your dad and that's pretty cool that,you brought back his truck that he enjoys,That truck is show quality in my book,keep on trucking
I love it you're driving and exactly the way you're supposed to drive at 3:18 Detroit I grew up with my dad and it's 72 KW cabover had a 318 Detroit Thanks for the Memories
Yep. I remember those old 318 Detroits. Id run from L.A. to Bakersfield with 80,000 lbs over the Grapevine at 16 mph with my foot on the floor. We used to call them “Yamaha’s” back in the early 80’s.
Dang 16 MPH? I remember some trucks going pretty slow on the Grapevine back in the day, but 16MPH wow that's slow. We had an old Chevy station wagon and it blew the radiator cap on the southbound side one time around 77 or 78, right at the start of the hill. The shoulder lane was a truck lane only and there was nowhere to pull off, for like a half mile or more, till finally we found an opening. Dad had to walk back to the bottom of the hill to get another radiator cap and antifreeze. So we sat there in the 110F heat and waited and waited and waited. Finally dad showed up with a new cap and antifreeze, filled her up and drove off to LA. There were some tense moments pulling back out in the highway, but I guess when the trucks are only going 16 mph, it's not too too hard to get back into traffic!
The sound of the woods that’s all you heard from hauling logs out the the mountain landings to the skiders yarding timber up the slopes. I’ve got one foot in the old school and one in the new school I guess that makes my generation I’m fortunate.
You brung water out my eye bud. My UNC taught me in 1 just like it hauling produce in thelate80s Dammit man so many memories RIP UNC.Iceberg Slim Reese Sc state farmers market.😢
B815SX That’s for sure. I’ve got some of my grandpas tools , when I use em it’s very relaxing and I take my time and breathe a little, and treat em as if they are gold. Also the memories. He must sense his dad in every gear change.
Yeah, a big part of that 'find 'em, grind 'em' comes from no one teaching them how to shift properly...had an old guy who drove since trucking almost began, teach me that the different engines needed different RPM shift points...Cummins shifts 'low' (1500-1800-rpm), Cats shift higher (1900-2200-RPM), and DD's are WAY on up there...2100-2500-RPM...plus, you have to 'get used to the truck you are driving', before you can 'butter the gate' (as he would say)... OBVIOUSLY...aren't too many that are taught this, anymore...because you NEVER hear this taught...the world is eat UP with 'automatics'...and new truckers get about 2-days of training, then are let-loose on the world without a clue, anyhow...what insanity.
Skeeter Saurus Kinda spooks me out that what I’ve learned from old timers I’m passing on down now and I’m only 45. Dammit I shoulda listened better and asked more questions from those old guys. I say it like that but I don’t mean anything but love for em. Not like I have gotten bored when I’ve been told back in the day tales , but I’m gonna prod for more info from now on!
Beautiful restoration sir. I see you switched out the daytons for some budds on the front axel also. Great job. I went to Denver from Grand Rapids MIchigan in my dads Pete powered by Detroit . It was an awsome ride. Love the sound of the old two stroke "screamin Jimmy" or "rolling smudgeball" Detroits.
very neat you were able to find the truck after so long, then to have it restored is just awesome, really neat to see old trucks like this brought back for another 50 years, love the sound of an old 2 stroke, nothin like it in the world, only Detroit can make that noise lol,. Thanks for takin us for a ride with ya man , best of luck with it
Good God! Pure awesome. I’d give anything to be able to ride in a big rig with that type of engine in it one more time. Long years ago my dad drove a cold truck that had a motor similar to that. I am visually impaired, I can just imagine that truck looks as good as it sounds. Keep on trucking!
Because I used to drive a Detroit powered Mack R7 Wrecker with straight pipe's {Guy before Me } it took just a few hour's of the SOB Screaming in my ear all day everyday before I convinced my boss to let Me replace them with the stock factory exhaust .. Yes it was still a screaming Detroit but I could actually hear at the end of the day ...I surely do miss that Ole Mack .. Your truck is a winner My hats off to you ...
I sure do miss that old school Detroit sound. It's music. I can remember riding in my uncle's GMC cabover 12v71 Detroit Jimmy. It was a 1978. The last time I saw his truck was in the mid 90s. The engine over heated and caught on fire burnt through the interior of the cabover. That's all I heard. But glad no one got hurt.
Love the butterfly brake pedal... In the IHC I drove it had the throttle pedal notched at the top so you could flip a 1/4" threaded rod down (that was attached to the cab) and then turn the nut to get the engine up to high idle so you could sleep in it without it cooling down...
Gorgeous . A REAL International . 8V71N/A . I have to presume 318 means Horsepower . 318 also happens to be the Cubic Capacity of the 6V53 . Old Girl sounds VERY Healthy . Lovely old unit .
I used to live right down the street from the GMC plant in Pontiac Michigan. All day long we would hear the new trucks and haul-a-ways pulled by new Astros and Titans with the 318 Detroit. My brother and I thought as little kids that the engines were running too fast. It was later that we found out that these engines were two-strokes lol.
I remember very well what they sounded like- how they were- gorgeous truck and power plant,Dude Those "Appalachian hummingbirds"- "Detroit screamers" sounded very distinctive- detroits, they sound damn great- much power.. .to all commenters- Dont sleep on IH- they have a dt466 which is called "the legend" they have diesels in house that go up to 450HP easy. BUT THERES A MAGIC HERE- what a beautiful combination- God bless bro

your dad must be a helluva guy!thats an awesome thing to do for him really cool!!!
Your engine is the wrong color.... LOL... But the oil drips are always the same color... Love the sound that starts at around 1800 to 1900 rpm reaching a divine crescendo at 2400! That Detroit is healthy. Used to work on these at a diesel shop back in the day, rebuilt countless cylinder heads and ran the "overheads "on quite a few resetting valve and injector lashes.
Dwight Corbett yes it did originally have mufflers and we are considering putting Mufflers back on it because it just doesn't sound the same with the straight pipes as I remember as a kid
international was the best truck of the 1970s, 80s and 90s in my opinion. the transtar 4200 is a practical truck, short hood class 8 and exceps an equipment body or is a great tractor. 2 stroke Detroit diesel run a long time with minimal problems. great job on video and on truck its self!
Now, THIS has got to be one of the best if NOT, the BEST sounding diesel engines in the world!!! Puts some WEIGHT on the back and you can REALLY make those stacks sing a melody to your ears!!! I would love to have that just to make a run every now and then! 😃😎👂👌💪❤
OMG!👍🏽😍❤️ That rig was built the year I was born, and I cannot tell You a truck, car, or otherwise that I’d want more than one of these old(?) I-H Loadstar 6800’s w/ ether the 8v71 or 12v71’s shoved under the hood with a Banks power pack and the fuel-injection performance kit, twin HP turbo’s, 8” stainless side-pipes & K&N air-intake system.... talk about an old rig that could rip the treads right off those tires!!👍🏽😈❤️
The sound of that 318 is pure music. It's a shame newer trucks don't have that sound.
Someone should start a company that only uses older trucks with detroit engines

Beautiful International and an amazing sounding 8V71 Detroit. Well done.
That's the way to do it. Sweet truck, sweet shifting and a truly heartwarming thing you've done for your dad.

A lot of the Greyhound buses had the same exact engine that is in my truck, the 318 Detroit.
Love the sound of old trucks it's music to my ears

Smooth nice driving there, no rushing, forcing or grinding.
Music to me. Dad drive a K100 KW with a 318.... I spent many hours riding with him going up and down the east coast, still love that sound
Brings back a lot of memories picked up in Johnstown, Pa hauled rolls of wire to Chicago brought racks back many times

what a beautiful truck! and nothing better than a two stroke Detroit!
Ryan Ehlis Um, You’re wrong!
There were a LOT of things better than a 318 Detroit! One of those things was called a “Cummins”.
Love the hunt when the rack was just a bit out.
@@gearjammer4779
Your wrong there nothing better than a cumming expect a Detroit diesel
A 318 Detroit deisel is a V8
Beautiful truck and great shifting! Love those motors!
Use to work for Greyhound back in the mid 70’s as a teenager, man those 318’s were awesome sounding then too.

Yea,Yea go ahead and make this old man miss those days, yes sir mighty fine,Thanks for sharing......Johnny b.
I sure do miss that old school Detroit sound. It's music. I can remember riding in my uncle's GMC cabover 12v71 Detroit Jimmy. It was a 1978.
The last time I saw his truck was in the mid 90s.
The engine over heated and caught on fire burnt through the interior of the cabover. That's all I heard.
But glad no one got hurt.
What an awesome gift to your dad! Definitely raised you right. Sweet sounds from the old girl but would certainly need some hearing protection.
Magnificent machine. That sound never gets less awesome!. Well done. Thx.
An amazing overview of the truck.
That is a beautiful truck sounds great. Love the shifting you were doing.
Thats Beautiful!
318 was was a great engine!
Love the butterfly brake pedal... In the IHC I drove it had the throttle pedal notched at the top so you could flip a 1/4" threaded rod down (that was attached to the cab) and then turn the nut to get the engine up to high idle so you could sleep in it without it cooling down...
Gorgeous . A REAL International . 8V71N/A . I have to presume 318 means Horsepower . 318 also happens to be the Cubic Capacity of the 6V53 .
Old Girl sounds VERY Healthy . Lovely old unit .
I used to live right down the street from the GMC plant in Pontiac Michigan. All day long we would hear the new trucks and haul-a-ways pulled by new Astros and Titans with the 318 Detroit. My brother and I thought as little kids that the engines were running too fast. It was later that we found out that these engines were two-strokes lol.
Boy, that's one GOOD LOOKING TRUCK . . . that thing it's pretty. Good job maintaining it. That music @ 5:38 is the greatest.
I remember very well what they sounded like- how they were- gorgeous truck and power plant,Dude
Those "Appalachian hummingbirds"- "Detroit screamers" sounded very distinctive- detroits, they sound damn great- much power.. .to all commenters-
Dont sleep on IH- they have a dt466 which is called "the legend" they have diesels in house that go up to 450HP easy. BUT THERES A MAGIC HERE- what a beautiful combination-

That was the original color of the engine when the truck was new, international used to paint the engines red when they installed them.
Nice restoration. Love the sound of a Detroit 8V-71.
I saw this truck in person a few weeks ago I have a picture of it, and I was wondering if it had a Detroit in it and sure enough it does, love it
looks like it originally had mufflers, according to the photos, but it sounds good without them. Thanks for taking us for a ride
Dwight Corbett yes it did originally have mufflers and we are considering putting Mufflers back on it because it just doesn't sound the same with the straight pipes as I remember as a kid
Sweet music. Just sweet music. 😉
The mufflers take the snap out and put the rumble back in! Nothing sounds like a V-8!
Sounds great!!! Thanks for posting .
Yall got the bumper a lot straighter than international did. Very sick truck.
A beautiful truck, I drove a 1974 4300, it was simular, it had a 290 horsepower Cummins, and 10 speed. I love the sound of a 2 stroke Detroit.
That sound ! Almost spooky on a winters night, nice shiftin btw.
Best sound on the planet. Thanks for the great video!! Also, you sure make those gear changes look easy. Smooth as butter.
Thanks, lots of practice
Man that,s really cool..You Guy,s did an Awesome job on the Resto....
nothing like driving with no clutch i love it!!!!
Nice job on the 13 sp!
The music begins at 5:35!
witteman adrian wrong, the music started at 2:16
I don't hear no pavortti
Nice truck man,looks like my old dina 90 861 wonderfull truck body,congrats.
Old school that is a very nice truck brings back memories of the 70s jamming them gears 😎😀
Great job on having this truck restored! It sounds wonderful! But then again Detroit diesel always sounds wonderful!
Amazing shifting!
Wow!!! Beautiful truck!!
international was the best truck of the 1970s, 80s and 90s in my opinion. the transtar 4200 is a practical truck, short hood class 8 and exceps an equipment body or is a great tractor. 2 stroke Detroit diesel run a long time with minimal problems. great job on video and on truck its self!

Incidentally- nice touch on the stick partner-
Damn! Nothing Better Than the Sweet Sound of a Screaming Detroit! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Looks Awesome! Great job
Now, THIS has got to be one of the best if NOT, the BEST sounding diesel engines in the world!!! Puts some WEIGHT on the back and you can REALLY make those stacks sing a melody to your ears!!! I would love to have that just to make a run every now and then! 😃😎👂👌💪❤
Love the early Detroit's, the 903 cummins had a very distinct tone too.
I drove one just like that years ago and my ears still ring
Buetiful memories come to my mind, when I hear that sound. Running with dad on free country....
Awesome Detroit Diesel awesome International truck
I learned on a 73 8v71 Detroit n a job core school n white swan Wa' I still love theme & always will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one beautiful rig!
Very beautiful! Nice job.
Very therapeutic!!😌👍🏾👍🏾
That's a bad ass truck Sir

That rig was built the year I was born, and I cannot tell You a truck, car, or otherwise that I’d want more than one of these old(?) I-H Loadstar 6800’s w/ ether the 8v71 or 12v71’s shoved under the hood with a Banks power pack and the fuel-injection performance kit, twin HP turbo’s, 8” stainless side-pipes & K&N air-intake system.... talk about an old rig that could rip the treads right off those tires!!👍🏽😈❤️
