@@ApolloTheDerg 😂2 days later 50ft stack
with some kerosene and some fuel treatment, you should be able to go ahead and run the old diesel, especially since 60 gallons of it can be hard to get rid of and it should still have the sulfur benefits.
too much aesthetic crap. use waxes only to prevent corrosion and put that old truck to work!
Love watching you get the ol girl goin. But I cringed when you said it was gonna get stretched. Loving how its looking so far and i agree, Iceman needs a channel, so satisfying to watch the polishing.
David Anderson you cringed, I swore
@@Skremn01 He cringed. You swore. I punched a baby.
@@1980bwc He cringed. He swore. You punched a baby. I dropped a pencil.
love watching you guys
You are just nitpicking
Dude- guys like Iceman are a dying bread. I work with guys like him that are cutters and buffers, they kick ass! Keep these videos coming Bruce! I love this project!
You hope guys like him get young guys trained up before he is done working.
I hate dying bread. It tastes awful!

I totally want to keep seeing progress on this bad boy.
And I agree with the others here, keep it stock; don’t stretch it, fix what needs fixing.
I can understand the Air ride, but this truck was so cheap that it lacks cab air ride, and the rough ride is more likely due to not having cab air bags than the rear leaf springs not being air ride. My truck had air ride for the rear axles, but that was solely to keep the stuff in a dry box happy going down the road, it was the cab air, and the seat air that kept the truck from being a back breaker all the time.
Bruce stretch it. Most people will never understand the cool factor.
Iceman have his own channel? That dude's a charmer, I'd watch him polish different stuff every week.
Man dont chop that frame that's a co
Dont chop that frame I'm with you that's a rare Coe bad enough he destroyed that old gmc
Would you watch if he polished these nutz?
Why don't you Polish him off. Every Buffer I know that watched the Video said he was all over the place.
iceman needs a youtube channel cause watching him polish was satisfying af
He would have 154 sub's at this point for sure.
Not really he was all over the place I say do one row at a time it's like asking an adhd person to do the work
Devern Pinnock would still make a good RUclips channel.
Check out Dc supershine, tonymetalart, west coast polishing, evans polishing. I love polishing, and these dudes are fun to watch.
So true
Dont stretch the truck! Thats the whole beauty of the CO is the SWB! We have been trying to convinve my boss to get us COs but I dont think he is gonna go for one.
I don't think they even make any new cab overs do they
@@davidcaskey4669 Kenworth makes New cabovers similar to the k100, they are so freaking nice. Bad part is that they are only available in Australia and some other parts of the world. Google "Kenworth k200"
@@ericprasad4682 I knew about those over seas I guess should have,said in America. The ones over seas are right hand drive
@@davidcaskey4669 They still are available here in the states. I know Freightliner still makes them, the catch is you cant just walk on the lot and buy one. You have to talk to the dealer and special order it. It is called the Freightliner Argosy
@@davidcaskey4669 it would be nice if Kenworth would make a few U.S. spec'd models just to try out on the market. Would've been nice to see more cabovers on the road again! Cheers
When I was driving in the 70's all truckers had cb with two high output antennas on the mirror brackets, radar detectors when they came out, it was a wonderous time to be a trucker! Trucker Mike

@ 16:27 "I'm going to be chopping this frame ..."
Jesus mate why on EARTH are you stretching that truck? And don't you have laws in the USA about doing that? You have unearthed an absolute gem in original condition and with a history to tell and now you are going to butcher it and make it into precisely what? Get the chassis stripped and painted and rebuild as is. It doesn't need new anything and adding 'Volvo' stuff just makes it worth nothing. I drove Volvo for hundreds of thousands of miles across Europe and they are great trucks but you have an International Cabover mate .. value it!
I hope he doesn’t chop the back either I would love the history to stay with the truck..
The laws are more relaxed on length here you see a fair amount of stretched trucks. I agree though no point of doing it. It looks great the way it is. You rarely see cabovers out here
We don't have any strict laws on stretching here. I've seen some very very long trucks before. But I agree that stretching this truck would be really stupid.
It's his truck not yours
@@spikyendsenpai64
Oh shut up, that's been said about 100 million times.
The man is an artist with a polishing grinder. Wow!!!
I just did my first polish video with one arm....check it out
*talks about keeping everything original for 3 minutes* walks to the back. Im gonna stretch it and put a new rear end on it.
And all of that after removing the air dam from the roof must be a RUclips thing 😂🤣😂
He failed in physics as a straight cut causes less stability
and torsion rigidty then... i keep that for me. That is why
commercial vehicles have to pass a deep test each year.
😭😭😭😭😭Right
I wouldn't stretch it. Def keep it original as possible. My dad's first Walmart tractor was this same type of truck inside and out. Paint was different was the only difference of course.
He's a hollow head. For a resto-mod he's better advised
to use a full Volvo chassis then botching around with
scrap. Volvo? Turning circle, air suspension, disc brakes etc.
Mind if he's pulling a 20 ton-loaded trailer and it breaks
at the welding seams on the highway. Ends in court for
shure! #shakemyhead Better buy a new carpet, e basta!
Those "ancient" things are called safety triangles lol.. They are up to code and exactly the same ones you buy today!
8:15 Greta - "How dare You !" 😂 🤣
Don't cut the frame just cut the Axel's off and add the Volvo Axel's and frame to the existing frame
Why Volvo? It's an American truck, it needs an American ass
@@alexandercurtis4427: Because he got it on the cheap. That's why!
I'm just curious, but he couldn't find an air ride International rear, to replace the old spring ride suspension?
@@jackgreenlee7223 why don't you go find him one
@@alexandercurtis4427 Uh, Volvo's US division is all designed and manufactured here.
If it holds a full tank, leave it alone and shine the crap out of it !!!
I'm sure there's someone who could bang that out
@@RedWingsninetyone it would never be the same and look wavy
@@jessemarchese7245 agreed, but way better than now
It's easier to cut it down alittile bit then polish it
@@jessemarchese7245 yea it would with the right tools I could do it
For the love of god stop touching everything after iceman cleans it.
🤣🤣🤣
Put your left hand in your pocket
Every spring, after last snow, I polish my rims, aluminium, chrome, have the same equipment as Iceman. The other guys want me to do their trucks, but don't think I want to do it for a living. My hat's off to you Iceman.
Showing us everything that can be done in your own back yard (when you hire Iceman to do it ) ... ha, ha, ha ... bottom line: it takes A LOT of time, money, and labor to bring one of these old gals back to life ... fun to watch ... glad I'm not there !! ( PS .. no flattie needed ... ALL SEMI ... !!)
Also he went to the family workshop to make hydraulic hoses for the cab tilt.
Yeah. Reversing 20 years of exposure is not easy. Glad you're doing it. that ol' rig might just look like a cherry when you're done.
There's a lot of international cabover here in Philippines running and still in good condition 😁
We want the ice man to have his own youtube channel, he's so cool.
Please don't stretch the wheelbase. I like how you're trying to keep it as stock as possible.
Stretching will make it look better, ride better and also a gear idea to upgrade/ update the rear frame section. Bruce if you read this go about 250ish.
@@jimbo7450
No it will not. Stretching only looks good on a 379 or w900, but on a cabover? Absolutely not! It wouldn't even improve the ride because you're still sitting over the front axle.
@@plumbingstuffinoregon2471 matter of opinion.
A buddy of mine at work we call Cone is a polishing machine. That guy can polish anything and it’s truly a lost art. IceMan is truly one of a kind. Always awesome to know a guy like that.
"Gonna keep it original don't want to mess with its integrity"... also: going to cut the frame and completely replace the back end and stretch it... I get the impression you're not savvy on the meaning of "original" or "integrity".
I would not touch that frame. Not only for the sake of keeping it original, but the over all strength of it. Some states I’ve heard are funny about registering a truck with a stretched frame. Personally I’d keep it a working truck.
Exactly, literally I don't understand why he needs to stretch it... is this some kind of a stupid U.S rule?
@Cha Cha Rah Yeah, because chopping off the frame isn't what compromises the structural integrity. Only the paint and stainless does that. You're a dum dum.
Probably the paint only
my exact thought...
Wow, this truck is coming along really well.
Such a gorgeous truck! I love these old cabovers. I always have since I was a kid.
The guy who polished the aluminum is a master of his trade. Incredible job.
ruclips.net/video/pwdI1MHWsdI/видео.html
I would totally daily that thing to work everyday if I could here in Seattle.
you could never with seattle hills 😂
All 4 to 5 mpg of it.
Youd change your mind the first week
I work in Tacoma, this guy daily's a duce and a half to work everyday... it's awesome
I work in Tacoma too, would get a work out with that transmission everyday.
Icemen needs a RUclips Channel the men got Talented
I'm binge watching these videos from the original start up in the weeds up to the polishing vid, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I love seeing old machinery of any kind get lovingly restored to working order. You definitely get 2 thumbs up from me!
Love these old cab overs reminds me of when my dad drove them and took me along....keep these vids coming bro👍
great polish job - it takes a lot of knowledge and strength to do it right
Best series on RUclips your consistent🙏🏻
I just love the restoration of old trucks parked for years and being brought back to life. I drove semi trucks for awhile and I loved it. A medical condition took me off the road. I miss it but love the videos, detail and the hard work you guys put into a semi truck project. Kind of brings a big ole lump in my throat when I heard that engine crank for the first time. I wasn't expecting this one to crank at all! Thank you for bringing us this series on this truck.
Almost makes me miss the truck i started out driving, it was a 90 International cabover. It had been a walmart truck in a previous life and was well used. I had her for 3 years before she blew the trans, didnt fix because the motor was almost gone as well. Almost miss it for a second then i remember what it was like living in that thing for 3 years.
You're really putting effort into it. I respect that.
This is a great series ... really enjoy it
Keep coming with cab over videos. Love that truck!
Man i love this restoration! And the polishing and the cleaning does make the old truck look updated enough for 2019!
I just found ur channel and I watched all these episodes and then I was like I wish there was a new episode. And now there is, dreams really do come true
I freakin love your channel, brother. That old cabover is the stuff dreams are made of!
Okie Family yeah hopefully he doesn’t cut the cab off this beautiful truck too 🙄
In Russian:
Ну.. Что хочу сказать.. Брюс ты классный чувак, "реанимировал" грузовик, визуально не живой вообще.. Увидел это видео случайно, решил посмотреть от начала до конца то, что ты с ним будешь делать.))) Ну..... Я потрясён. Реально классная работа!)) Вы ребята молодцы!)) Контент качественный.
Добра Вам ребята и успехов!
in English
Well.. What I want to say.. Bruce you're a cool dude, "reanimated" the truck, visually not alive at all.. I saw this video by chance, I decided to watch from beginning to end what you will do with it.))) Well..... I'm shocked. Really cool work!)) You guys are great!)) The content is high-quality.
Good luck to you guys and success!
I had a international 9800 cabover project truck, was a great time to work on it. I ripped the interior out and I made all new panels. I had to replace the vent windows to, was rusted out, it is expensive ! Keep up the good work !
The headlight pieces are called headlight bezels. Alot of random odds and ends on vehicles are called bezels.
May help you with replacing parts if you ever need it.
Lmao he’s coming out of that jump suit quick 😅😂
If only WhistlinDiesel's 1970's International Transtar II received the same care and love as your International.
Hey man, I totally respect you for keeping it true and retro! Give that baby her Aluminum wheels and that new road worthy rear axles and get that baby back to hauling!
Shoutout to Iceman! He is doing a beautiful job!
PS From the truckers I've talked to, they said a shorter wheel base will make backing up with a Dry van or any sort of trailer 10x easier. Keep that in mind if you are planning on pulling trailers with that.
Thank you for taking care of this truck .
Keep doing projects like this, I love it!
I subscribed to watch the progress on the International.
Can't wait to see more videos on the cabover.
Bruce I am always left impressed with the amount of improvement done to the semi, keep up the good work.
Cab over and flatty content would be so tight especially with ice mang
Legit one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The man is an expert at his trade!
Loving the cab over videos
Thumbs up so far for saving the old international not like some u-tubers we know that only knows how to cut them to pieces. The Chrome guy is a beast he knows how to do it a real pro. You go Ice-Man -- Take the tank off and run it down to the local metal fab shop at the trade school get the shop teacher to use it as a teaching tool cut off the damaged end and TIG in a new aluminum end panel.
Why make the frame longer? Easier to back up with a shorter frame.
Remember fondly taking my truck bobtail, and it fitting in a standard parking space for shopping. When I switched to a conventional, there was no way that'd happen.
It'll look better and ride better with longer wheelbase.
That's right. Stretch that sum bum.
Not practical to stretch it
@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 it's very practical if that's what a guy likes or wants.
Cutting and stretching you said It was gonna be all "original"
You cut the frame and then it's not original anymore and under today's regulations with cut frame rails you just can't use the truck for anything except yard work.
It’s not gonna be original at all. Changing the hole back end and also the colour as he said “for now”. It’s gonna be nothing like original 🙄
@@SaucyBegger25 yep
Its not our truck, feel free to buy one yourself and restore. I'm just glad he isn't cutting off the roof(Yet), or using a forklift to lift the cab this time.
@@williammcdonald2098 that's the stupid thing ever said. Frames are stretched all the time. And run over the road, working everyday. Don't comment if you are clueless, please.
A trick that is worth trying with damaged fuel tanks is to drop them out, empty them, plug off the various fuel line and vent ports and then use compressed air to re-inflate them. Often they'll just pop back into their original shape due to the memory in the metal of its original pressed shape. It might be a little more awkward on this one with the dent being right at the back where the flange for the joint between the outer skin and the back panel is, but it might be possible to dress that back into shape when the dent is out. Be careful though, with it being on a joint there is a danger that if you work it too much then you could end up cracking the seam and giving yourself a fuel leak when the tank is full...
It sounds odd, but I've seen it work well a number of times, including on a Ford Granada estate fuel tank that had collapsed due to the car being run when the tank vent was blocked. The resultant vacuum crushed the tank down to about a quarter of its capacity. Re-inflating it put it back to its original shape and all but half a gallon of its original capacity...
This truck brings back childhood memories for me. My father had one of these CO9670's.
He bought it brand new back in 1981. The early models had the International Harvester (IH) badging on the grill,the sides of the cab,and the door handles,before the Navistar International badging that came some years later.
Don't stretch it! Keep it original and don't put that Volvo crap on it!
oi, Volvo makes some quality crap.
Ice man mess up the international logo on 2030
I caught that too
Can be repainted
I've seen that logo with that side polished and it still looks great
Yup but it might look cool if the whole international logo was polished. Paint or polish
I’m loving the cab over videos.
It's Great to see both Updates!
Iceman sounds like Kenny with the mask on. Don't kill Kenny 😂!
Love the daily updates. Iceman did a beautiful job but he sounds like a Charlie Brown teacher with that mask on.
😂🤣😂🙈
I love seeing people take their work seriously. Iceman seems like one of those people. I also love to see folks taking time to bring old machines back to their original glory. There's a lot to be learned in doing these sorts of things!
Awesome video restoration of old truck always been interested in cab overs been looking for one for a long time just keep the videos coming 😎
I'm just remembered when I was just a kid I love "Bj and the bear" and I imagine driving that beautiful truck...a soon I look that You are going to rescue this truck ( I know is not the same, but is a kamikaze one) I'm just subscribe automatically! I want to see this beauty when You finished!
I agree with d mart 360. I have stretched a truck before and we just removed the axle and added frame so that we did not have 2 splices in the rail. If the Volvo frame is the same just cut it to match the angle on the back of the international frame and weld it in. If the frame is not the same you can call P.G. Adams in Vermont and they can ship you the frame rails exactly how you want, that’s who I used and they where very helpful. DONT LET THESE GUYS TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR TRUCK
Hell yeah Bruce! Loving these videos! The truck is gonna be sweet!
Looking good bro! Can't wait to see it on the road again!
It awesome to see how much the channel has grown. Been here sense the beginning
Us Florida boys ain’t used to this cold😂
Hello from the UK!
I’m loving watching this old semi being brought back to life: Extreme Recycling: rebuild and reuse.
If I may offer my two cents: Don’t repaint it. Keep the patina - buff the stripes then lacquer it all till the finish is so deep you could swim in it! Polished wheels will look cool too. And as others have said, don’t stretch it (asking for trouble), just use the Volvo axles - don’t make work for yourself. Spend the time fabricating a monster smoke stack.
Ice Man needs his own Channel: each episode he just polished something random till it looks brand new - millions of subscribers waiting for that.
Keep doing what you your doing and look forward to seeing how this all pans out! ✌🏼
Whilst i was sad you destroyed that other cab-over, its really cool to see you restoring and cleaning up this one. Its a really nice truck!
That ending tho... 🇺🇸
Diesel doesn’t ignite like that. It ignites under compression
Love the updates on the cabover
Enjoying watching your project a lot. Best wishes from Scotland.
Bro this is a good truck the locker it's a good rear end dont cut it out for some shit Volvo no locker crap
that's the best that grille has ever looked!
Great vid. I love seeing this truck come along. I wana see more new parts bolted on
Love the Ice Man 👍,this series is excellent , great job Bro.
Holy cow I thought you just hit 150k subs I guess the cab over videos really paid off
Lol when you said “we got a fire going” i lost my shit
Only bc I’m from charlotte704 and I know how ya feel lol
Love them old school cab overs.
loving these videos bro, big up from the UK
Love what’s happening here. How about changing them head lights.
Can't change the headlights due to laws in a majority of States, you want it original as you can get it increases in value of you wanted to sell it. Just try and clean up the paint by compounding it and if necessary paint it back the same color combination.
I don't think Iceman knows how popular he is about to be
Hell yeah bruce this series is cool !!! The channel is going in a good direction.
Dude your channel is BLOWING up! Super stoked to see what’s all in store 🔥🔥🔥
I'm taking it as a series
I am sure you are savy on “cutting” the frame right, the frame is an integral part of the suspension, and should not be modified ever.
People stretch trucks all the time. I'm taking my 275 wb out to 315 soon and lots of shops do it.
I’m Live west palm Florida nice to see y guys taking care of this cab over since cab overs are disappearing and becoming rare
I recently discovered your channel. I love watching you
bruce: i'm gonna keep this as original as possible
also bruce 15 mins later: i'm gonna chop the frame and ad a volvo frame section for 300 dollars!!!
There’s another kid on RUclips that has one of these thats stainless steel and aluminum...
AY AY Ron yea it bugs me wat hes does to it, but he bought it an its his truck so i cant stop him

Good guys!
Greetings from Germany!
I love the music in the background 4 some reasons it reminded me of me being back in the Caribbean
That aluminum never looked that good new.
I’d rather see more of the cabover since the flatty is just gettin ruined
Yeah more cabover
I also think the Volvo axles were a good idea well didn't he say he wanted it original then the Volvo axles are not a good idea
I live about 12 miles from the four states truck shop. You went to the right place for parts!!!
