@@SootyMangabey. My company got us a brand new 2019 International LT with a Cummins. Total garbage scowel / rattle trap. It's falling apart and you can barely keep it between the lines with its poor steering. Wish we would of kept our old rusted out international with holes in the doghouse and no A/C at least that truck went straight down the road and had a real 10spd transmission. I'm going to have to buy my own truck if I ever want to have any pride in what I drive at this point.
Thank you for showing off the International, what a beautiful truck. Your Kenny isn't a bad looking truck either. The old school and especially the cabovers just have something about them. Keep them videos coming. Cheers from Zambia Africa.
Thanks for the video. Originally ordered and owned by Daggett Truck Line, Frazee, Mn Trucks were ordered with our specs as we ran them 10-12 years before selling. Decals on trailers matched those on the tractors. Internationals only made 1000 one year, so discontinued them in the U.S. but still sell them in Africa, Australia and South America . Cab had so much interior room, I used to say you could square dance there.
Thanks for sharing much respect to you guys thanks for keeping the slow dying coolness in trucking alive and keeping all of us Americans healthy and fed🤙
Greetings from the Ohio Porters. We love cabovers! I’ve heard about the flat floors, but I’ve not seen one in person so far. 😳 I bought a 1995 Walmart 9600 with a Series 60 Detroit. Love the truck. Love your KW! 🥰 I do the same thing when I see a cabover…make a U turn and chase it down if I can. Good stuff!
YEP they are nice. WILD WEST hauls cattle with one of those. Short wheelbase like that would be real good for hauling grain off farms. PLUS it has a big bunk for over the road work. Very versatile truck.
That's it, I'm SUBBING! Thank you Chad. THIS is how I started out in life, and I sure MISS it and I am wanting to go back. In 1979, I started working for my step dad. At the time he pulled for a company out of Utah called Ogden Transfer and Storage. Cartwright Van Lines before that. I did most of the driving West of Nebraska. He owned a 1978 Mack Cruiseliner. Sure was the time of my life until I went into the Marines in '82. Maybe I'll get back on the road again. I sure hope so.......
I drove for Schneider starting in June 1996. My trainer had a brand new flat floor raised roof condo with double bunks. With the set back axle of course, and yes that is primarily what schneider ran back in the day was set back axles. My first truck was an older cabover with a doghouse, it took me a couple of years to finally get a flat floor cabover. Six months after that I was in a newer Freightliner century class conventional.
Here in Philippines there is a lot of international eagle trucks, my dad once drive these truck for over 10 years and he always brings me during my free time and let me drive sometimes, awesome truck engine even sounds good besides its old.
I dint think I've seen a flat floor condo set forward. That were mainly 9800 set back that were flat floor with condo. That truck is excellent. Takes me back to be a kids is the 90s.
I have an FLD Freightliner 92 with a Cummins original motor only 430 thousands miles original miles. I bought it from a guy from MA for 9 grand. I love cab over trucks I'm thinking about buying one almost did but the guy never answered his phone who had one for sell. Beautiful trucks
Your truck looks pretty mean too buddy. I do wish my Freighty had a flat floor though like those Internationals instead of climbing over the tunnel to get to the sleeper😀
I like those generation International cabovers. Those replaced the Transtar models back in 1981 & were produced up through either 1998 or 1999. There's a crap load of those down in Jamaica.
@@1ChadKeegan they even have several straight dump models of them too down there which is unbelievable. Unlike here in the USA where 99.9% of straight dump semis are conventional cabs. I saw one cabover straight dump semi on the road 5 years ago which was the only one I've ever seen in the USA.
You could cut that frame behind toolbox also and stretch if you wanted and have it diamond plate welded if wanted longer wheelbase but probably ok the way it is.
Oh wow cabovers are still on the road. I used to love looking at those trucks. They need to come back and get rid of these new trucks they have now. These automatic trucks just don't make trucking fun anymore.
I run that blue truck and another called “Frankenstein” as a business but it was in a accident and getting fixed there’s a few videos of it in my catalog
That’s a very nice old truck. I have looked into purchasing one similar however I’m finding many people say these trucks are hard to get parts for. The Peterbilt /KW seems to be easier to get parts for. Is that your experience?
All old trucks are hard to get parts for because my 90 K100E aerodyne there’s parts that ore no longer made you have to try and find at scrap yards so it really doesn’t matter on the brand in my opinion
@@StrongholdDefender depends what you’re hauling on weights, I guess try it and if it doesn’t work or you don’t like it sell it but you should be fine.
@@1ChadKeegan I’m doing reefer. But I’m in love with cabovers and nowadays is really difficult to find them in good shape. Maybe I can increase the hp up to 400 . Hey boss thank you for the advice.
@@1ChadKeegan hey I was wondering how this truck was a flat floor with the front tires being so far up and not back I thought the 9800s front two tires were pushed back so the engine would sit lower
His Truck is Nice BUT it isn't all that and His Head and Mouth is too Big for Me The more He Talks the less I start to like His Truck I will take your Truck any Day over His Truck. His Truck is So Good They Stopped making that Truck Dude don't believe His Stories He needs to write a book lol
He new I was coming to interview about the truck we’d discussed it and you would’ve known that If you would’ve paid attention, he showed me the inside before I ever got back around to do the interview but you’re one of those guys that know everything 😂
