International had some of the coolest trucks hands down. The RDFC 405 (the really cool looking cabover) is one of my favorite trucks of all time. You do great work love the program.
I started my career with a mayflower moving agent at 21 went with overnite transportation it later became ups freight retired on 65th birthday with 41years , the overnite days were the best with the f model macks I remember a lot of these truck lines, deregulation took out most of them especially the union carriers retirement pensions now almost a thing of the past, anyway the emeryville's were something to see especially with the open exhaust pipe
Deregulation hit White Line trucking as well. I started there fresh out of the Army in 74. Back then, the Kentucky Parkways at night were awesome. Just me & the wildlife. Retired in 2015 at 62. Great memories
I do remember these beautifull IH trucks from 41 years ago when i worked in Canada...they drove with a semi full of gravel...great view...great sounds! Cornelis, the Netherlands.
Great video I owned one of the those Ruan tractors it had a 318 Detroit diesel and a 4by4 TRANSMISSION and it had an air starter it was good old truck I pulled a 2 bottom dump trailer.
Every time I watch these videos I think, my thank you for IFTA so that a Tractor doesn't have to have so many License Plates hanging to show what states it runs so that fuel tax revenue can be collected or registration fees paid to run in a state. I also say to myself that's when a person can make some money running 18 wheels and there were places to park for the 10 or 34 hour clock reset to start a shift operating Tractor Trailer.
I recently made a cross country trip and I,m appalled by the truck drivers I seen at rest areas truck stops etc, The foreigners, baggy shorts, sandals, wild ass hair dos, what the hell happened to the American truck driving men and women, it seems you are out numbered by freaks.
At 3:49 is a PIE tractor with what appears to be a cheater axle. I don’t recall seeing this model in the East. I would say it resembles a bull nose KW.
I've always loved the IH 4070 transtar it always looked like a true American truck with some nice curves on it. If you like IH coe trucks check out the International 9870 built in New Zealand for the local market. Thanks for the vids and the effort you put in to them.
Thor Norvegian, Great video, Where did you find a picture of a Crouch Bros. truck? They were based in St. Joseph Mo. I remember in the late 1950s I was a teenager working on my uncle's farm in Northwest Missouri near the highway when I saw a Crouch Bros. Emeryville International cabover on it's way home from a run in Southern Iowa. Crouch Bros. had a fleet of Emeryvilles at that time. I was thrilled to see that big Emeryville cabover. After I grew up, I became a Diesel truck mechanic and did that kind of work for many years.
@@stevejones3309, Hello Steve, I was born at Maryville but lived at St Joe until I was about 5 years old, then we moved to our farm 15 miles north of Maryville where I grew up; My Grandparents lived in St Joe where my Granddad worked as a salesman at the Caterpillar dealer.

Ohh yeah 👍 ,13 letter sh** spreader, and they make trucks too , don't mean any disrespect to you my friend, but I have drove some hard ones, liked it and loved it you made my day great 👍 day you my friend
I drove a few of the 1600's and they were not a comfortable truck. they would tucker a guy out after a day of driving. They were a truck you would buy for someone else to drive.
I met a man from Albuquerque that worked for ICX at the Farmington terminal in the mid sixties and then later went on line haul between Albuquerque and Denver for years. Last name was Foster, can't remember first name.
hello I'm a new subscriber I was wondering when you colorize pictures is that the actual color or is it just like a guess on what the color is this might be a stupid question but I'm just curious
The rear axle with the duals was the drive axle and it ran a belt drive to the "pusher" axle with the singles on the few examples I've seen at truck shows.

Trucking and Railroading, that's what keeps America moving forward!
Look at all those corn binders!
These old bone shakers bring back memories.....thanks for putting this together.
It's a great series, it's also a shame some great carriers are no longer in business. Deregulation was the worse thing for the trucking industry.
I agree I drove for Allied Van Lines, and made money, until deregulation.
Maybe, but for the consumer it has been a good thing.
Great pictures. I started driving when I was 19, I'm 71 turned my CDL in a year ago, I truly miss driving!!
Hey, I’am also 71 and got my first CDL, called chauffeurs License in Oregon, at age 22. First truck was a 69 Autocar

These videos are too cool. Thanks for putting these together
These trucks were all twin sticks. Some even tri sticks. Mack. None had power steering.
My dad started trucking after WW2 and retired in the early 80s. I remember many of these from when I was a kid
Super great old pictures as well as great music reminiscent of the time of the pics... Thank You !
I do remember these beautifull IH trucks from 41 years ago when i worked in Canada...they drove with a semi full of gravel...great view...great sounds!
Cornelis, the Netherlands.
Great pics, I'd love to be transported back to this time, today is a desert in this beleaguered industry....
A great collection but the good days have long long gone very sad
Love these short videos.
Some really great photos, but for comfort now is the golden age of trucking.
Great video I owned one of the those Ruan tractors it had a 318 Detroit diesel and a 4by4 TRANSMISSION and it had an air starter it was good old truck I pulled a 2 bottom dump trailer.
Very nice collection of pictures 👍👍👍
Decoster egg farm, Maine. I use to deliver there years and years ago.
4:09 is actually a Hendrickson which used a modified IH cab, also 6:03 looks an awful lot like a Reo.
Enjoyed!!!!!
As a 4-wheeler who loves driving my favorite COE is the Emeryville (followed closely by the Crackerbox).
Gooood stuff. Thanks for the video.
ETMF later became ABF Motor Freight. That’s my neighborhood in Dallas

Thanks again for your work. Sad but true most in the cab today hardly speak English and would not make a hair in a real trucker buttox .
Agreed

4:08 This one was a Hendrickson with IHC cab.
6:00 This other was a REO.
6:18 This other was a Ford.
That Spector sure looked like a 'Big Job' Ford to me @ 6:18. Also before squeegies were around!
@@danielmoore7332 Yes, it was an old Big Job Ford.
At 3:49 is a PIE tractor with what appears to be a cheater axle. I don’t recall seeing this model in the East. I would say it resembles a bull nose KW.

Nice variety of Cornbinders!!

No air conditioning back then. Great video; would’ve liked to have had the year on the pictures.
Drove a conventional emeryville back in the seventies. 903 Cummins. I think that cab over emeryville was my father in law. No longer with us.

Wasn't that Bette Midler standing by a Lititz, PA truck on the last photo, probably making her "The Rose" movie?
There was a😊a HENDRICKSON, a REO and a FORD snuck in there 😮 But I did Enjoy the video
I drove a few of the 1600's and they were not a comfortable truck. they would tucker a guy out after a day of driving.
They were a truck you would buy for someone else to drive.
I drove a bubble. Nose for I c x in the early sixties ,
I met a man from Albuquerque that worked for ICX at the Farmington terminal in the mid sixties and then later went on line haul between Albuquerque and Denver for years. Last name was Foster, can't remember first name.
Like #11 hahahaha...those Binder "Sightliners" are uglier than homemade sin. Right up there with a Corbett.
Where are sleepers, did you need to get hotel rooms?
Often guys used to put a board across the front seats as a bed.
@ 6:19 is that a Ford or is that one of those deals where Ford built the midsize truck for International ?
Ooooops, my bad!
Yeah that was a 1955 or 56 Ford COE
1954 ford
hello I'm a new subscriber I was wondering when you colorize pictures is that the actual color or is it just like a guess on what the color is this might be a stupid question but I'm just curious
both
Strange to see north American van lines using red coloring, since the only color I have seen for them is blue
Muito bom Brasil
i noticed some tandem trucks running a set of single tires with duals behind them. can someone fill me in on that? never seen it before.
The rear axle with the duals was the drive axle and it ran a belt drive to the "pusher" axle with the singles on the few examples I've seen at truck shows.
549 gas engine twin stick 4x4 trans Hendrickson long bow or torsional suspension all gone
6:19 is a 1954 Ford.
👍👍
TRANSSTAR 💪
Next to last is a ford
Zero and Florida Refrigerated, that goes back a few days.
👍🇺🇦🇺🇲👍
Ah yes cornbinders lol
Now, i know why the Lonestars are so ugly! :)
Why?
