So welcome to the 1st episode in a new series I’m calling “What’s For Sale” where I try and help local folks showcase their semi-trucks and hopefully connect them with an interested buyer.
Today I met with Anton, the owner of a very nice mid-80’s International Cabover with a Cummins 400 big cam with newly installed Jakes. A 13 speed fuller with a new clutch installed and a newer rear clip off a Volvo w/40k rears and 3:90 gears. Frame has been extended approx. 5 with fresh paint on the undercarriage and truck body. Brand new tires all around - truck is ready to go to work. Asking price is $46,000 CAD.
If you are interested in the truck or have additional questions, please email me at twinstickgarage@gmail.com and I will get you in touch with Anton or you can check out the ad on Kijiji: www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details....
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and support! Let me know what you think of the new series
Keep in mind, I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts
Enjoy watching the progress of my Kenworth W900A Smokey & The Bandit project, the ongoing Peterbilt 359 restoration and the upcoming #IronDuke Kenworth K100 cabover I’m planning to build up like the one used in the 70’s trucking movie High Ballin’ with Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda.

"A trucks not a truck without a Jake brake" the most beautiful thing I've heard.
That cab over needs an 80s style paint job added to that white !
Goes out on a "what's for sale trip" comes home with 6 trucks and 4 trailers! 😉It's a dangerous life looking at vehicles for sale, hehe! 😄👍
Keep up the great work! 😁
"I swear they followed me home!" 😂
Fun fact! The trucking company I was a mechanic for in the late '70's was strictly at that time International only. We had a LOT of 4070 "B" models, as the length laws back then made COE's the only way to go to get under the (then) restrictive laws. International made a deal with one of our big lease customers out of St. Cloud Minnesota to drive a full prototype of the 9670 cabover-- brand new, not yet issued for service. I was working midnights at the time, and here comes this truck middle of the night that none of us had ever seen before, cobbled full of non-standard parts (including a grill off of a conventional 4200 series.) The dash was pretty-much complete as the one you rode in in this video, and of course it had the new-style bigger cab. They stopped off because there was a problem with the lights. We had absolutely NO parts, as you can imagine. We got them going by rigging up some jumper wires so they could continue. That truck was loaded with cables running to all parts of the frame, and the luggage compartments had recording devices inside that was keeping track of stress data on frame points. Basically, I was one of the first mechanics to ever work on the new-style 9670 International COE's, prior to manufacturing!
As for the shifter, he's right that it is linkage. It has a rod shaped almost like a spear with a ball welded perpendicular to the end of the shaft that coupled with the shift handle in the cab. It was pretty reliable, as long as you tweaked the adjustment right. What wasn't so was the clutch! It was a clutch cable, which was actually thin bands of flat metal inside of a cable and sandwiched by dozens of ball bearings on both sides of the metal bands. The problem was they were prone to breaking, and with no warning they would just let go, and you had no clutch. There were also availability problems in the beginning years that was bad enough that we bought new clutch cables, still in their flat boxes, and placed them under the mattress in the sleeper so that, while they'd have to find someone on the road to change it out, (which was quite a job,) they at least had the parts!!
Overall they weren't a bad truck. As with any model truck they had their peculiar problems, but they were a lot better and more comfortable then what they replaced, (the 4070 "A" and "B" models.)
Kudos to Anton, he did a nice job restoring it! Hope he makes a sale!!! 👍
Anton seems like a really good dude. Best of luck on your rig 👍
You the man Mark, helping truckers sell, trade, etc. their inventory. Gives you a chance to see and meet folks and gives the rest of us inside scoop to buying, selling sweet rides. That's funny: Mark asks if he really wants to sell this truck, and Anton starts to second guess himself, classic.
Man that's a sweet ride, needs a little love, but it sure is nice and would make an excellent little earner. If I had the chance I would definitely go for it, so best of luck to him. I hope it goes to a good home!
This is a good segment Mark, looking forward to a few more.
Favorite part of waking up on thursday when Twinstick uploads always makes my mornings better
The what's for sale is a fantastic idea
Can't wait to see what's out in your neck of the woods 👍
An Intersmashional with a 400 big cam and Jacobs brakes... what more could you ask for.
Thanks for the ride along Mark
I've always like the international especially the eagle I put a lot of miles on them. They were a well built truck and yes you should add this to your collection 😉
Very 1st truck I ever drove an '89 international cabover.. I miss it lol
That's a good looking cabover. He needs to keep it if he can. I enjoy the vlogs Twin Sticks.😁🙏
Awesome International cabover. Really in great shape considering the year. She would make an excellent addition to any collector(s) of old iron. Just a little interior updating by the Daycab Company and boy you got yourself quite a classic setup
You just went down the perfect side road with your channel. I'm seeing a lot more old cabover's rolling the blacktop in Idaho these days & they are real eye candy. I'm a road service mechanic.
Mark, the new platform is great. I see that some of the TH-cam channels I watch that interview people they will have a microphone for the interviewee as well for themselves for a better consistent sound. Great job and good luck on your adventures. 👍👍🍺🍺
This is a great idea for a series alongside on the hunt
And what a way to start it off with an 85 cabover
I like the new series and I’m not even a trucker, just like trucks
That cabover has a very special place in my heart 🇯🇲 see it everywhere in jamaica
Mark that's why you're BLESSED 👍💯
I hope this International finds a good owner. It deserves a lot of love after all the nice work that’s already been to the engine and chassis and rear diffs. Awesome Job! Awesome Find!
That truck will make someone really happy. Good looking unit just needs a little of this and that.
that's a killer rig and excellent video. I hope people who see these videos help keep these ol rigs on the road
I had the same exact type truck from late 1984 until early 1989 when I bought a special ordered, unsold 1988 Freightliner conventional. I loved that International. Never had a bit of trouble with it and after getting out of a 1970's F Model Mack cabover, that International felt like a Cadillac!! Thank you for the videos you do. This one sure brought back a lot of good memories!! And I even made a few trips into Canada and brought lumber back out going all the way down to Oklahoma. For the most part, fuel was still under 1.10 a gallon. Most places it was under a dollar a gallon. Thanks again, this retired old driver thanks you a lot.
Man that Ih cabover is super awesome...I'd love to have it in the states! Really starting to dig the old cabovers the last couple years
What a cutie! That's a cool truck, with a mean shadow! Hopefully Anton gets some good offers! This is an awesome segment! Great Idea Mark!
as a coe veteran, whenever you hit a bump I hear the backslap and can still feel it lol.
Nice old whip thon ! He should sell that no problem . Thanks Mark. God bless.
That’s one sweet looking International cabover. I wish we had some of those in my country.
Maybe you could be the first lol
Beautiful truck. Careful on how many of these trips you go on. You might end up with a fleet like James Pretty.
Well I'm back! it's been a long dry spell without my Twin sticks video's. I've been busier than a cucumber in a woman's prison, and I have not been able to get my Twin stick fix. Love your I idea Mark, in today's truck market it's hard to sell a truck and anyone willing to help makes it easier, Good job Mark and great Idea.
Another Thursday was here!...
Thank Mark... I welcome this idea
I drove 82's IH cabovers for a couple years. The interiors, and mechanicals held up to hard commercial use pretty well. A smooth quiet ride, not so much. Still better than the Transtars of yesteryear.
What a beauty, should sell quick.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷.
Hermoso camión!!!
Excelente tus videos.
This episode was an awesome idea. Love when these already 10/10 minty channels come up with new minty ideas. 👌👍🇨🇦🍻
Don't let Tim Gentry of Gentry & Sons Trucking see that old cabover,he has a soft spot for these old cabovers.😂
Great idea on this new series, awesome. Nice cabover.
Clean cab over worth every penny ! Best of luck Anton lots of work you put in this truck bro
Nice looking farmall there
Enjoy your videos brother have a great day
This could backfire on you and end up with loads of trucks 😂👍
first time I see a video that has potholed streets in Canada!
😆 🤣 😂 guess dont look hard enough
Great idea to add to the channel.
Hi Mark, nice truck should sell quickly, thanks for the video Mark.

Great idea you have with this!
That’s awesome cab over nice ❤😊
Love the content, keep it up
That’s reallllll clean
Keep the great work man
That’s a great truck and a cool dude.
I hear that if you say, "International Cab Over" three times fast you summon Tim Gentry 😉🤣
Your gear shifting is good my brother I love the truck I'm in Zimbabwe
❤❤❤
It brings back memories
Nice rig ... I drove one very much like that one early in my career ... I like it ... 👍👍
Mark, I am from Eastern Canada. We call Internationals' Frenchman Peterbilts. I can only imagine what you Westerners call them??? ( air bag the front end and maybe $ 25000 CDN)
Yay startups in the intro
Great lookin rig and good lookin out Mark!
In my personal opinion, the International 4070 truck is one of the most beautiful models ever made by the International company.
Tnx for a nother great episode.
Best regards from Snowman ☃️ in Sweden
That's a nice looking IH cab- over
Nice old ride - guy has a cool toy there.
The “what’s for sale” idea I’m going to have to “borrow” that for me channel. I always knew you were a trend setter 😂👍🏻🙌🏼👊🏼 all jokes aside it’s a good idea for a separate series. All us guys after old iron got to stick together 🤣🤣🙌🏼👍🏻
Super clean truck this one. The dash is pretty spic and span as we used to say 🙂
Absolutly Love It ,Buy It Bro
That's a really nice cab over I hope somebody buys it I have too many already🤠
Always love the vids buddy hope we can see u work on snowman
This is a GREAT idea! I think it will be just as enteraining to watch you struggle to not buy more trucks! LOL
I can’t wait to see snowman
I like this idea!Also, nice power smoke. I have an identical interior, but I’ve replaced the head unit with a kenwood that does wireless CarPlay. Once you delete the damn thing, the 6.7L is quite the reliable beast. Someone not far from me who does long haul trucking has one of those 900’s from the beginning of the vidya in this crazy 80’s paint scheme. I’ll have to get a photo.
Very nice.
goes to help the guy sell it ends up trying to convince him to keep it🤣🤣never change mark loved the video antone seems like a cool guy and yeah id love to have that "minty" 12v
What a beauty
Don’t tell Peg you saw an ol greasy 12 valve…he collects them like candy! 😂
That is a beautiful truck
Beautiful 🥰
Anton is a cool guy glad ur helping people out mark would love to have that truck but Don't got the money.
Beautiful trailer truck
That was a nice truck
Good idea for a new series! Hope you can afford it Mark! LOL!
Nice truck 😊
Love the international COE.
Man that gave me flashbacks to when I used to ride with my dad hauling hogs to the slaughterhouse. I used to have to crawl back in the sleeper and hide, don’t remember if it was at the scales or the slaughterhouse.
More on the blue W900 flat top with Gibson's decals... Boychuck got bought out by Gibson's around 2003/04 I believe, when Gibson's took over the methanol haul from the plant (which no longer exists) at 17 St and Yellowhead. Gibson's also took over Boychuks yard also across the street from methanol plant on south side of Yellowhead at 17 St. Each of Boychucks trucks were custom built, had 550 Caterpillars in them, and were METICULOUSLY taken care of! Gibsons originally used them as company trucks, but when they got rid of company drivers, offered the truck for purchase to the driver so they could keep working. The truck you saw Mark was hauling molten sulphur the last time it was working, but since Trimac has bought out the trucking division a couple years ago or whatever, obviously that truck never made the switch. I did two stints at Gibson's, I was thinking maybe I know Anton if he worked there. Great episode Mark, love the local flavor from Edmonton!!
That is a cool truck and we don't see much of the cabovers anymore because a lot of drivers are driving conventional trucks nowadays.
That is a nice truck I would freshen up the interior for sure get rid of that orange interior with some black diamond tuck but other then that it looks great sounds great and it even has jake brakes and that's awesome.
That International Cabover would be a grate RV haler
Dear TwinStick Garage Mark P.
Very well done.👍👌👏 2) Seems to run and shift extremely well and the owner seems to be a really nice guy. Additionally: A lot of new parts on this truck. Nevertheless the cab rattles a lot while driving over uneven streets. I'm definitely no expert but I can't imagine, that the vehicle can be sold for 46.000 CAD. I nevertheless hope it for the owner and wish him luck.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
I’ve always wondered why Canadian trailers are tri axles. She’s a beautiful rig for sure tho
My dad had an international in his fleet like that and i hated that thing. Id always take the R model mack or the 86 flc shaker because if you spit on the ground that cabover would get stuck in it😂
Great truck! Wish i had it
Well I sure would have loved to see you drive it mark! C’mon
Mark, l like the new concept. It's a great idea......except my concern is you will be increasing your fleet, LMAO. Thankfully you are a long way from Ohio, so mine won't be increasing (with your help at least). Great job.
Intertruck New Zealand still make these 9870s same cabs with a few updates and powered by cummins x15 👌👍
That would make a great container hauler.
