- Lance has been dreaming of this since he was a child in the 1970’s. Today we put a smile on his face as he got to drive the 1971 International cabover semi 4070a model. Detroit diesel 671.
The sounds are awesome (except for the gear grinding) Be nice to him about it!
Next time we need to let his teenage son drive it.

Hearing Lance giggle when he gets in! You definitely made his day!
A tip of the hat to the old timers that drove these across the USA. That was some real men. Had to be a hard life doing that.
Skill and ability!
Arms of steel they said
Scott, as a past driver of cabovers, the windshields get cracked all the time from items left in the sleeper berth. When you jack the cab up you will have an "idio-second", that's the second you hear the crash against the windshield and remembered your suitcase in the sleeper.
Ah, you remember Dennis Miller's "sniglettes" from the days when Saturday Night Live was funny (mostly). IIRC the exact term was "igno-second" - the interval of time between letting go of the car door and realizing you're locking the keys inside. The emotion that results was called "doomnesty."
My grandpa had a GMC Astro cab over with a 8v71 in it, you could hear that Detroit screaming a couple miles away on a quiet country evening.
That Steering is a real workout no GYM needed ! Could tell Lance had a great time !
Armstrong power steering
Lance looked right at home in that old Binder!
Nothing like a new toy!!!! its a beautiful truck.
We did a lot of maintenance on it today. A new video tomorrow on it
My truck driver father: ‘“down the hill in the same gear as you drove up.” He drove a 1963 International gas with the same transmission and two-speed rear axle. Rear axle shifted with the clutch or accelerator. He worked for my maternal grandfather. He had to have driven close to 2,000,000 miles with only one accident. Black ice coming down Beaver Summit in Utah. It was a multi-vehicle accident ahead of him. The highway patrol officer on the scene had his patrol car rear-ended an totaled. My grandfather eventually purchased a set of diesel trucks. My dad, as the senior driver, and longest routes, drove one of them.
A bobtail down a steep gravel road is difficult.
@@BusGreaseMonkey and a spring ride single axle bobtail cabinover is even more fun. Breathe on the treadle valve & she'll slide.
That up hill down hill principle is taught in schools.
That Detroit sound never gets old, gives me goose bumps !!!!
Love the “Hey Lance”
Lance, you drove it like a pro.
Four words: Truck Driver Fantasy Camp
This is wholesome as feck. Thank you for sharing this lovely moment with us.
He’s had a rough year. He was smiling today.
@@BusGreaseMonkey I could tell, he looks like he's been through heavy stuff since we last saw him.
It's a feeling I deeply understand and also why I always try to voice my appreciation when people share this kind of content. Really helps brighten my day, and I tend to need it.
I love ❤ listening to Lance tell his stories!!! I'm glad he's doing well ❤
The first semi I drove was a 1979 Kenworth with a 8v92 TA i loved that truck back in 1987. 37 years now driving semi. I am going to retire un 2 weeks
I've driven truck for 30+ years and still feel like a kid doing it. I know the feeling Lance! The Transtar cabovers were my 2nd favorite back in the day. 1st would be the K100A
the smile on that man's face says it all , he had a blast
Glad Lance enjoyed that drive,. All of my trucks have had power steering. And that short wheel base has to be one ruff ride.
You're a good friend Scott,
We love Lance
I hope Lance driving the cabover, he looked like he was having fun, keep the clips coming
Hey Lance!!!!!
Awesome to see one of the old trucks again.
Good job
It's awesome to see mates looking after mates.
✌️ Peace
Totally awesome bro and cheers for making his day. Safe travels. Ken.
Lance is heckuva storyteller! Good to see him again!
Great to see Lance again. Must miss his busses and all the work you put into them.
Drove one towing a dump trailer that had the same transmission. Fun to drive.
Thats great, glad to see Lance having a good time. Thanks for being a good friend for him.
...everyone should have at least one friend who can help make a dream come true....
All videos with Lance are the best!! 🙂
Well that made Lance's day in a good way.
The sort of "Hey Lance" he enjoys, just look at that grin of a childhood dream being fulfilled :-)
Imagine a life with no log books no emissions laws no flip flops at the truck stop just you and the black dog
Lance was grinning like a possum.😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
It was fun watching him have fun!
Knew you’d have some fun with this!
I'm 66 years old & have been driving trucks much of my adult life. Only ever drove one with a 2 stroke. It was an early 70's GMC conventional cab with a single drive axle. I think it was an 8v71. Had a 5 speed transmission with a 2 speed electricly shifted drive axle. I was a relief driver & thet truck's regular driver rarely took a day off. So I didn't get to drive it often. Only diesel in the fleet of 5. I miss that truck.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 nice job Lance spend a couple days in it and you’ll be a pro
You just can’t beat the sound of a detroit!
Nice video
Great to see Lance, just hope he is going well.
thank you Scott for answering me ,really appreciate.
Great sounding engine.
Pretty cool. Not often you get to live a dream like that. Well done.
any of us that were preteens in the CB era were in love with it. even at five, I had a handle! didn't get a genuine ride along till my 20's, though. my stepfather inevitably had a coal delivery on Christmas Day, and that was my Christmas treat; sitting in the jumpseat of one of the last of the Mack R's and sipping on a free coffee. still have a couple Trucker albums in my collection; the infamous "Six Days on the Road" collection, and a cash in album from Realistic that's probably rare as hen's teeth by now. I'm hoping I can get something out to the younger truckers so they can experience these classics.
Wow that's some armstrong steering! Looks like a pile of fun.
A man has to have a project…
That ol truck does look clean and rust free.
Would make an ideal hdt rv hauler.
Got the cap and stomach of a ‘70s trucker, too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never got the chance to drive a semi but did get the opportunity to ride along a couple of times.
When I was a teenager, I lived near a Kroger distribution center. All the tractors were running 318 Jimmy’s…loved the sound of those running through the gears. Seems like the shifted 3 times just crossing the intersection….
Lance is a cool Dude.
Get you a king pin and a piece of flat steal and fabricate something to add weight to the fifth wheel build a cage and put something like a concrete barrier from your local concrete plant. Back in the day you could get air assist for the steering, it was easy to install and if makes a big difference turning the steering wheel. That cab is in excellent shape for the age.
Double clutch and keep the revs in the sweet spot you just gotta luv a cab over, the they always put a smile on ya dial. New tractor trucks just don't have the same appeal or character let alone HISTORY.
They call Freightliners Freight Shakers, but the cab over engine models are BONE SHAKERS.
Your fillings will be swapping teeth.... 😁
That is awesome
MyDad had a Garage business and sold new trucks, Federal's, and serviced what ever showed up . He called the Cab-overs ,'west coasters'.
You could make good money just having us old guys taking it up and down the hill. We would dream back when we were in our 20s.
A perfectly good bulldozer sitting there and Lance wants to drive the ratty old Binder truck.
In the background, Red Simpson is singing………I’ve got this truck driving fever…….
He was rasslin'.
he's having the time of his life,.. How come the unit doesn't have any lights on the back?????
Scott, you need a necker knob for that thing.
Scott, you could probably charge for rides up and down the hill, and extra for a drive, and make most of your money back! 😊
Dieselland amusement park.
You need the spinner knob on that steering wheel!
Lovely old beast. When you were following it, are the right rear tyres closer together than the left?. It may be an optical illusion.?.
He looks like he belongs in that seat. Central casting.
these trucks were made to shift with out a clutch after you take off ,very fast shift with plenty of rpm
I guess that with no weight on the rear axle tyre pressures could be really low and that might improve traction (and braking on loose?)
But I don't suppose the ride would improve that much, but tou never know.
I'd be putting a ball on the steering wheel to help with tight turning on the move.
Anyway a great little play truck that's worth keeping running.
U should make more on-board videos of this truck.
You guys are trying to shift that like a 4 speed bus. With the 10 speed, there's only about 300 rpm between gears so you need to shift a lot faster. Doesn't help that you can't use the two gears on the far right. Lotsa fun nonetheless.
The power range for the engine At higher rpm is so much fun. But yes totally different than a bus 4 speed in every way possible.
Same door handles and Bostrom "Westcoaster" seat as in my Louisville. Looks like Lance went half way down that hill in Georgia overdrive. ?? Yikes. Short tray on the back and it would make a handy service truck.
Needs a name.. let’s call it Ponch !!!!!😊
Probably gotta double clutch it alot, the old internationals I drove in the air force were like that
lol to funny//did get any gears //making lots of coffee --beans
May God bless you all the name of Jesus Christ Amen❤
You should put calcium on your road so the dust doesn't come up it'll take a couple times and I'll hold the water
next a low loader and do your own recovery
Call the daycab company’s for interior prices
he looks like an old school trucker, just need a big belt buckle
Can you buy an attachable bed with out wheels for this thing ? Will provide the weight, the storage , and no extra wheels to create drag
Needs some ballast weight on the back to hold it down.
when driving that cap over you think you front end is in the next lane on the roads on your front end //I had to run 671 at higher R.P.M TO GET FULL POWER pulling a load IN A G.M.C CAP OVER //my first love is the B-61 Mack when you can shift them your machine OPERATOR the Dettroit 318 would scream with durl pipes
Welp, may as well get a box and start a freight company at this point. None Ya Business Carriers LLC 🤣
When I started trucking in 1981, they told me "If you can't find them grind there gonna make then out of rubber next year" What's going on with the duct tape on the driver door?
Lol, same, first semi cab I tried, I already knew the brake knobs, he didn't think I was gonna tour the Houston neighborhood, with cars on both sides of the streets. Those people were watching me to make a mistake. I'm pretty sure they were looking to get him too.. we never liked your truck & we are looking for a reason. I did good & they couldn't get us. Fuck HOA
Hurricane Harvey put their houses up to the porch light with water.
I've seen a cabover that flipped on its nose!
imagine driving that cross country.
Very hard on the old bod.
I971 huh? I wonder how much methane gas was left in the seat.
what are the plans for this truck? are you going to use it to tow buses?
Hi Scott ,no intention to buy that little red trailer that the guy had for may be help you carrying rock for maintaining your road?that sure put you weight on your tractor backwheels instead of going bobtail and jumping like a frog?
It wasn’t for sale
And it's not smoking anymore too....
Now that bobtail isn't complete without a trailer or some kind of load behind it. Any reason why the seller didn't offer to sell the dump trailer it was hooked up to?
Sentimental. That was his grandfathers trailer
@@BusGreaseMonkeyis Tyler bus still for sale
Curious as to what are all those busses lining the driveway? Are they waiting repair ?
Some are storage, some are waiting on parts, some are waiting completion
How many total busses on the 'Mountain now?
I have 4 there - 3 seen in the video - lol - hopefully will have the 2 MC8’s sold in next week or so. 🤞
15
Watch Jay Leno install power steering in his 41 fire truck. Resent video.
You think he's driving it like he stole it
It’s really fun to hit the governor on it up through the gears ;) he was limited here on the property
It's a detroit
WHITE LINE FEVER
There was some very bad acting in movies in the 70’s
@@BusGreaseMonkey CONVOY- The music was a little FUNKY too.
i think In counted 9 busses parked.................Jay
And 3 you couldn’t see ;)
That was a personal Hey Lance moment. Glad you helped him live his dream driving a cab over
Not a hey Lance moment, I don’t know what people find amusing about it.
no brake lights...
Tomorrow they go back on. They are on the side working
