First truck driving job I had was on a 1969 Loadstar 1800 for my Dad. 5 and 4 trans, 9 and 30,000 axles, 390 gas, 13 ft dump, 18 ton hoist, and hydraulic brakes. And 9:00X20 bias ply tube type tires. When you're 20 years old, you're lovin' it all. Thanks for the flashback.
Adrian Tomlin I can if you give me a week or so to get used to it. I’m driving a truck right now that everyone else at the yard hates and say they can’t downshift it....... it’s nothing spectacular 3406E CAT..... 9 speed Eaton air brakes.... 5000 gallon water tank.... weights around 50,000lbs when loaded...... can float it all the way up from a stop. And all the way back down.... use the brakes on hills to keep from over speeding the engine.... I very seldom miss a gear.... if I do I just rev back up and go down a gear if I miss a gear like say 7th ..... I just rev back up go to sixth and start the shift over..... my pickup is a 4&2 twin stick And I’m about to buy a 1967 international RDF230-D.... 5&4 with a 2speed rear...... which I’ve NEVER had experience with..... twin sticks don’t scare me to much.... but idk what the hell to do with a 2 speed rear when there’s already 20 forward speeds. ..... can I leave the aux in direct And split the main with the axle like a 10 speed ? Or leave the axle in high range and just shift like a regular 5&4 ? Skipping LO-lo
Andrew Bartleman. You took the words right out of my mouth. I love the R-190s that tandem drive one and the tipper. In Australia they were often repowered with a 4-71 or 6V53 replacing the petrol engine or ''gasoline'' in US terms. I'd love to get one and fit a 6-71 T like an old school semi. The loadstars always looked good to me but they're very hard to work on.
1964 at the age of 18 I started driving truck for Acme Transport. They had a fleet of R model Internationals, most of which were bought used from the IH dealer for $500. a copy. They were ex Stelco trucks so they'd already done a lot of work, mostly within the confines of the steel company itself. My first load was at Building products loading fiberglass insulation which back then came in burlap bags and we'd back the 40 foot rack and tarp trailer under a chute and catch the bales on one leg as it came from the second floor. By the time my trailer was loaded my right leg was bleeding. That truck had those small round mirrors on one arm that shook so much they were almost useless. From the street to the chute was about 500 feet with crap piled all over the place so you had to weave around it. I'm still partial to IH trucks and in fact I'd say they're my second favourite truck.
You bet we did, but we had it better than the guys before us just like the newer guys have it better today. On the older trucks heaters and defrosters were an option as were turn signals. Drivers carried a blanket to put over their legs and candles to put on the dashboard to defrost the windows. When making a turn they'd flash the clearance lights to let people know they were going to do something so give them room. Most trailers back then were rack and tarp and the tarps were canvas and much heavier than the newer ones. On the up side, while there were still idiots most drivers would give way to a truck that needed space to make a corner.
Love these old IH trucks, these were used mostly as farm trucks and a few fire trucks back home. I drove a 1975 International bus while I was in hi school
I have the same, but a 68 with 60,000, but im definitely jealous of the winches. Just got insurance and once i can find 2 rear Dayton wheels and 2 spacers, shell be on the road finally!! 4x4 is unbelievable, man and I've driven some big, low geared shit in the army. 7.17 is insane, hope you are enjoying yours.
What a nice selection of old iron...I think he has enough saved to make a IH lover go bonkers. 😳 Love those old trucks! 🥰 Glad that someone has their hands on them and that they’re not sitting in a junkyard.
Does anyone know the backstory on the 3 Stepvan Flatbeds with gooseneck cargo trailers on the end at 1:35? They were Frito Lay trucks originally. Some had GM power and some had Ford power as I have read. Anyone know anything about the Frito Lay part?
Back in the day International was a very common Fire Department Chassis . The pickups brought back memories , If you wanted a tough work pickup you got yourself a INTERNATIONAL . My first 4x4 was a 1970 1100 with a 304 V8 and a 4 Speed , drove that truck all over the country , it was a great ride , wish I still had it !!! LOL I wanted to buy a Scout with the Nissan Diesel , but buy the time I was ready they got out of the light truck business !!! Where is this ??? BTW Great Video !!!! , all the best , Bob k
@Adrian Tomlin You got a tough truck, but it was also SLOW, which I think contributed to that. Uncle bought a new 66 1100 Fleetside with 266, 4 speed, Twin Grip Differential. Neighbor had a 63 Loadstar 1600, 304 4+2, that had an 18ft bed and a solid tag. It had some high sides for hauling nearly 400 bu corn. Also had a 73 1800 with 392 5+2 16ft bed and a pusher axle. I had a 74 1800 with 18ft bed, poor man walking tandem with a dead tag, 345 5+2 set up to haul 450 bu corn. That poor little 345 just kept trying and wouldn't quit. 60 mph was all it could do empty, 50 loaded downhill. I drove an 1850 with a 404 5+2, a 2050 with a 478 and 13 spd Road Ranger. You just heard this gulping sound even at idle. I tried to buy a 76 Paystar 5000 dump truck with a 549. Held 200 gallons of gas. He said you had to put another 50 in it to make it thru an 8 hour day. I heard the old 501 straight 6 was just as bad. They would shake the ground when you were getting with it loaded.
Im jim woods nephew i hauled milk for him and drove the S model number 94 that looked just like ihis. Met you guys early one morning when you were on your way to Macungie and I was going to pick up milk. He thought a lot of you guys love you
I noticed an Old Fire Truck from Keene Fire Dept., Engine 182 or 183, not sure which, but I have worked that Pumper back in the mid 80's when I was first training as a Fireman, I learned how to Pump on that very Fire Engine. I can't remember if she had a straight 6 Cylinder, or a V8, but she was great ole Workhorse for sure, and she could really pump some serious water if need be. Keene is a small Adirondack Mountain town in Essex County, deep in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate NY.
That fire truck had a six cylinder engine. The V8 trucks had a completely different hood. I noticed too that that unit had a front driving axle - probably Coleman.
IH trucks where the first trucks I was intro’d to back in the 70’s. I noticed International must have had a contract out with most of the U. S. Fire stations, because almost all of the pre 70’s firetrucks where IH, but i have no complaints as IH made some of the most sturdy frames built in the heavy truck industry while they where still being built here in the U. S.
What about the school bus in the background?m I wanted to see that Lots of these truck are former fire engines which tended to be low mileage, stored indoor and well cared for thus the survival rate is high.
Excelente video Recuerdos muy gratos en Saltillo, Coahuila México.

Ok,thank you.My stepdad had a 1957 A model 190 dumptruck when I was growing up.It had a 401 v8 with a 2 speed rearend and sometimes a 5th over and sometimes a 5th direct transmission depending on what parts he had when it started jumping 3rd gear.There also used to be one of the diamond plate fender models with a detroit diesel engine in made into a tri axle dump truck that hauled asphalt around here.It looked like someone had built it.I dont think they came with detroits.
Any one looking for a 78 international transtar 4070 day cab 100% all there not banged up. I am keeping the chassis and 6 V 92 I just want to get rid of the cab and I don't have the heart to scrap it All Glass is intact
Dear Sinister, You are about the most ignorant person I have known in my life. I-H was one of the greatest developers of trucks back in the 20's, 30's , 40's and 50's.
James Rose you know 13 letter shit spreader is just a nickname for IH Same as k-whopper for kenworth Petecar for peterbilt Come apart for Cummins Etc.......
As an International owner I love this collection. Restoring my 1951 L-110 little by little. It will stay original as much as I can afford and find.
I love when International is shown, we love our 36 C-1

There are still tons around. Wouldn't be too hard to find one
Glad someone has the ability to preserve those pieces of rolling history, those and others built this country.

No doubt about, you had to work for a living in the old days.
You bet we did, but we had it better than the guys before us just like the newer guys have it better today. On the older trucks heaters and defrosters were an option as were turn signals.

AfroPuffs Animation we always had to push our ford home. Thanks dad for never buying another ford
Wow that is an impressive collection!! I have owned and driven many of similar.
Great memories, all my dad ever owned was IH . Had to part ways with his 59 R200 a few years back. Thanks .
Brings back memories, no AC/ power steering maybe, radio, maybe ,no air ride seats but was young an didn't know any better.
Wow, what great memories. I worked on many of those series through the years. Remember the faithful 450. Good vid
Yes - the 450, as you know, had sleeves as did the 406 and 372. They later added a 501 which was really a 450 without sleeves.
I love me some internationals. I got a 73 awd loadstar 1700 with a 5 speed direct and a 345 v 8. winches front and rear. and only 15000 miles on her
Great trucks, sounds like a beast.
15k!? Wow I would love to see that truck

Canada Post had a coast-to-coast fleet of IH from the 60-70's.Awsome video!
What a nice selection of old iron...I think he has enough saved to make a IH lover go bonkers. 😳 Love those old trucks! 🥰 Glad that someone has their hands on them and that they’re not sitting in a junkyard.
Love that Autocar.
I love them old trucks. I really like the ol B-61 Mack fire truck. Cool video

My backyard! I wish. These trucks are part of the Tackaberry Collection from Athens, Ontario. You should see what they have restored in the buildings!
If you wanted a tough truck any size you got a fricken binder!!
@Adrian Tomlin You got a tough truck, but it was also SLOW, which I think contributed to that. Uncle bought a new 66 1100 Fleetside with 266, 4 speed, Twin Grip Differential.

Awesome! Make a museum for them.
Can I move there?

These trucks are not to far away then, just over the border into Canada.

Thank you, love this video, all those Corn Binders. I would love to walk it every day to see them all!
It would be a great backyard wouldn't it!
I like the big grey one in the second row
I've owned a 2070A and a 9400 both have me excellent service.
Would love to get ahold of an old Scout.
1:48 Old Ottawa Fire Services Top Mount Enclosed pumper
Would love to own that COE with the split screen in the first row but my dream is the 63 travellal wagon or twin cab .
alright!which one of you let the mack sneak in?????
That's a lot of trucks I hope they are for sale. Thanks for the great videos always interesting.
My favorite are the two red oldie goldies at 0.45 and at 2.50 yellow. Don't know the model year or series, but their cab shape is beautiful.
I too am old school and todays drivers don't know how good that they have it
We have a 1959 ih co 190 with 12,000 original miles it was a fire truck now a flat bed we haul a tractor on the back of
Where in Canada is this, what's the name of the junkyard?
Time will come when all these trucks would be restored soon
Do you have a vid of his restored stuff?
My parents were friends of them.
What about the school bus in the background?m I wanted to see that Lots of these truck are former fire engines which tended to be low mileage, stored indoor and well cared for thus the survival rate is high.
I could imagine clicking your fingers like thanos and all the trucks would follow you
A lot of those R model Macks weren't very tall. Cause I see one beside an IH loadstar and it's not much taller.
oh the trudging through the mud!I see it every spring and fall.Its real dry here in Missouri .oh so dry but I hate mud
At 3:24 what is that model number of The 2 yellow R series? Looks like maybe a 210? Looks to have longer hood & setback axle
Are they still available
Just spotted an Ontario plate. Is this 'museum' in Ontario?
Yes, near Athens.

Nice Video, Thumbs Up liked, Merry Christmas to you also.
Great video, those were great looking trucks, now go out and find a Studebaker truck junkyard, for me.
Corn binder Heaven
friend, where is that place?
What is the model designation for the pair of yellow trucks that look like R models with extended front ends to allow for a diesel engine?
It could be an RD-220, Cummins NHB-600 was a choice back then.
Ok,thank you.My stepdad had a 1957 A model 190 dumptruck when I was growing up.It had a 401 v8 with a 2 speed rearend and sometimes a 5th over and sometimes a 5th direct transmission depending on what parts he had when it started jumping 3rd gear.There also used to be one of the diamond plate fender models with a detroit diesel engine in made into a tri axle dump truck that hauled asphalt around here.It looked like someone had built it.I dont think they came with detroits.
Wow endless love it we have a 74 and 84 paystar at Work low miles love driving them
I have always wondered what an International truck looked like with it's hood down
Beautiful 💖
Incredible!
my brots her and had a rd225 like those yellow ones it had hrf6b cummins diesel 190 hp
What year is the green stepside pick up....55 ? Restored or pro street would be cool
It's a R-Series so that is probably a good guess.
@@Dailydieseldose315 I appreciate the information I wasn't familiar with the r model they say they were made 1953-65 that one does look mid 50s
I wonder if the R series AWD fire engine at 3:05 is Keene, N.H.?
I'm guessing Keene, NY because daily diesel dose is from upstate NY
It is Keene, NY, I pumped it during my First years in Fire School back in the mid 80's
One thing about firetrucks often the door says where they lived their life!
Thanks, Dublin, N.H. had one, not too far from Keene.
i bet everyone of them still works as it did in its born date.i have a 72 1310 and the truck runs better than new trucks.
Which model are the two rusted yellow trucks.... they look like RDF210/230s
But with the fenders of an M or R model
I would love to have the green international travel all pickup
Incredible find!!!!!!
Can anyone tell me the year and model number of the blue truck at 2:15 in this video?
I looks to be an International KB, late 40's s my guess.
where is this??
Where are the EMORYVILLES?!!
Those were the best. It ain't a real IH collection without one of those. In fact he didn't have any class 8 IHs. Just the smaller ones.
@@Steve.Vaught Right?? Just sayin'
@@bryantyoung7197 I accidentally sent the same thing twice. I thought the first one didn't send.
Oh he has one, it's probably the nicest you've ever seen. th-cam.com/video/ItKQJ-AtcwQ/w-d-xo.html
@@Dailydieseldose315 yeah, she is gorgeous.
Who owns these
What year and model is the one that looks like the Mack dm 800 with the steel fenders. It’s right after to plow truck 20 seconds in
RDF-230D.... I own one...
Around 408 that truck is the same on where i live
Where is this?
Is it a public or private truck museum?
Private collection. But the owners take them to many shows and host many functions throughout the year.
Minuto 1.07 que modelo es?
can someone tell me about the first truck in this video I think my dad had one similar to it
The blue one?
Grew up with the L series
Unos modelos que restaurados serían hermosos, como la camioneta pickup

Man if I were in the US
No sightliner though
Not outdoors anyway... :)
neat ! thanks .
Through out the video, it sounds like someone is eating potato chips.
Its suppose to be, (The ultimate International Harvesters Truck Collection). Why is there a Mack in the video? Thru other trucks in for free I guess.
Asi empezo mi historia en transportes franzoni

Wow, don’t see many quad lights on IH trucks.
love this

I agree James! I totally disagree with sinister!
James Rose you know 13 letter shit spreader is just a nickname for IH
Same as k-whopper for kenworth
Petecar for peterbilt
Come apart for Cummins

I counted 2 Mack's, lol.
Also room for a few off brands. :)
Parabéns amigo pelo vídeo muito bom
Gostaria muito vê diperto
Why?
That's the eternal question of life.
How long did it take you to come up with that? Good answer.
Love it
wow!
Didn’t Ford buy Navistar to develop it’s Diesel engines? I’d like to think my F-250 has some of this DNA!
International designed and built the Power Stroke for use by Ford.
No they sold ford engines for some of there diesel small tks. P malcuria Geneva ny
Wow!!!! Lots different than what I drive everyday, a 2018 automatic semi. It’s kinda boring to drive to be honest.
Yup, not much individual style left anymore.
Yeah, everything is all paccar junk anymore, a Peterbilt 579 and a KW T680 are pretty much the same thing except for badging.
No flats
duuuude!
