I use to see them around a lot when I was a kid. I till to this day knew it was an I.H. but could never find out the "exact" model. "Trans Star Eagle!. "Now I Know" ! Thanks for the education. Very, very, happy to see that there are still those out there that beautifully restore these giant old timers, that served commerce so well back in the days. Thanks for the memories.
back then there was so much work and no chrome shops because if they where there we will remember those beautiful work irons differently looking beautiful
That is sharp! We had a 79 and an 80 4070b, Both jacked up NTC's. NO Jakes. Only one had power steering. What I learned to drive in. Pulling bullwagons running 4500mi + a week. They were good looking trucks in their day but nothing like as sharp as this. One was a turned around 10spd and it would fly. Had to be over 70 to go in that hole. I would say it would have run and hid from my current hood on top speed. Hood is easily a 3 number truck. Keep up the nice work!
anyone remember when Schneider had cabovers IH with the exhaust on the left side and air intake on the right. back Schneider trucks ran pretty good especially if yer were driving a 62 mph f model with a 237 and a 5 speed manual power steering😂.
I owned an old Schneider truck.It was a 1978 Transtar II with 290 Cummins 9 speed.That was in 1982.One run I had was hauling apples from northeastern N.Y. to the Hunt's Point market,and Kraft food service back north.
Good looking Corn 🌽 Puller , friend had 1960 Emeryvile installed Cummins KT 450. Truck was for bear 🐻. Driver for South Carolina. Detailed like Silver Eagle 🦅
So, noob question--what's the benefit of a stretch frame on a cab-over? I'm assuming its to cushion the ride for going tail-back, but isn't a COE designed to reduce wheelbase at the risk of its ride over the engine?
This truck and the R-model MACK were the most common sight on the road back then. Never thought they would become rare birds in my lifetime. Sad. I miss those days and these trucks.
beautiful IH binder they always had a nice paint schemes along with brockway and KW , drove one similar to that with a sv92 13 speed 411,s a running sb always had heating problems on long grades and oil consumption didn't really have to change oil periodically just filters if anyone out there in that time frame knows what I mean. but otha than that they were not a bad truck.
nice international i had one before and is a great truck the new trucks is a crap a lot electronics bolshits the best and fiability is a old trucks not automatic transmission cheers from norway
My favorite big rig. Absolutely meticulous. I wish there were a million like it out there so I could drive one of my own. Thanks for doing the vid!
that truck is gorgeous, that stainless wagon really makes that truck stand out ,very sharp

Hmm! Great video showing off a gorgeous old school iron lady, she's looking amazing pulling that great dane wagon #gottaluvit. 👍
I love it and that jake brake talking.
Nice Trans Star im in process of buying one this week hopefully
Aside from the Kenworth K100 Aerodyne, this is probably the best looking cabover ever produced.
BEAUTIFUL RIG
Great classic I drove one in Chicago years ago hauling for Norwood cartage
stunning....My Dad has a 79 Kenworth W900a
Beautiful rig!!!

Amazing Transtar
If your a swift driver..please continue cos you'd never understand this class of a truck.

LOVE the truck, just beautiful(!), but needed more front-end shots! Side views for a few minutes, sure, but...
Here’s one word: BEUTIFUL

Because it looks cool. 😎😎
Love those COE's.
Great combination. Killer large car.
How can you insure old trucks/trailers?
I guess this would be like an every day sight straight out of 1983.

De los cabezales transtar que me gustan por su diseño son algo parecido a los Izuso o GMC Forward muy originales
My dad had the red white@ black co oh I miss it
It was a 4070 b model with an eagle interior package.
Where is that beast now?
