My dad bought a brand new Eagle conventional, in November of 1983. He kept it a secret from me, until my wife & I stopped in unexpectedly in April of 84. My folks weren't home so we went in & made our selves at home. My older sister called & I answered the phone mimicking my dad, she thought I was dad but then clued her in. I told her mom & dad weren't home, she said they were probably out on the road in the truck. I said what did you just say! She said OH You Don't Know!! No I don't but I do now!! She begged me not to squeal on her. So we went to bed, waking up in the morning I looked out the up stairs bedroom window & could see the twin chrome stacks sticking above the garage roof line. That's all I could see. After breakfast dad said follow me I want to show you something. He took me out to show me. I acted surprised as I sort of was. He drove it 500,000 + miles, had the motor rebuilt & sold it in 1989. He was 66 then & retired.

@jackschissler255 4 года назад

Wish this was longer and it was more detailed. Love to hear how the Eagle 🦅 series came about. Those were my favorite. And they were also the start of the School Bus line as well as the Loadstar and the S series were used in them. Love to hear how their Engines came about, The In-line 6, T444E, that crappy Maxxforce. And I’m still confused on when it became Navistar International

@hammondc5 4 года назад

Missing the iconic Emeryville cabovers and conventionals as well as the Lonestar conventionals are pretty big oversights, I'd say. A mention of the Maxxforce diesel engine fiasco might have been appropriate also since it nearly put Navistar out of business.

@ceejay960 3 года назад

As well as the Sightliner bifocal, one of the oddest looking trucks, and the late 1950's update to the R-Series grill which featured the 3 small vertical bars above 3 bigger horizontal bars. Those were very popular trucks, I remember seeing them a lot when I was a kid.

@johnharris1655 2 года назад

I cringed when IH turned the great and venerable 466 into the Maxxforce 466. Just knew it wasn't going to go well thanks to emissions restrictions. Navistar could not make 'em run well. Under powered and in the shop a lot. Now, Navistar's using Cummins in their medium duty trucks. What does that tell us.

Just some missed information, the first cab over was the emmeryville, I believe 1959 thru 1965, followed by the CO 4000. The CO 4070 came out in 1968 or 1969. Thank you for your programs. Yes, I did drive the emmeryville and the CO 4000 before moving up to the CO 4070A

A church in Fremont, California went through several International buses. The buses were bought used and came from the Armed Forces IE Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard. Used for transporting troops. The buses were the S-Series with the 9 litre diesel engine. The current buses use the Maxx Force diesel engine, they have automatic transmissions, disc brakes.

@Beauxtrux 3 месяца назад

Worked for a major dealer for over 25 years. We took red ovals, K-whoppers, and freight-shakers in trade all the time, but truthfully, when we got Binders, they were usually the tightest and most mechanically sound. I remember a fleet of XL cabovers with over 1.3 million miles, and we washed them, did a DOT to correct the failed items, put on some new tires, and retailed them for more than the trade value. That was 10 years ago and I still see them around once in a while. If I were buying new I really think I would buy IH (and I worked for one of the other three!).

@SternDrive Год назад

In my 48 year of long haul driving, I have driven lots of "Corn Binders" as we used to call them. I still have a pre 80's Trans Star model on display at my home. I enjoyed the Pro Star trucks, but I'd like to ask if any of the guys have ever driven the International that had two foot brakes? Yup one on the right of the steering column for the right foot, and another brake on the left for the left foot. I've driven two of those pre 70's trucks. How many guys know what the left brake was for?

@BassmanII 3 года назад

One thing you missed, and it's significant, was the 9800 Series COE and the first successful FLAT FLOOR cabover.

@randyronny7735 3 года назад

A good honorable mention would be the International M1224 MaxxPro MRAP. That truck saved a lot of our soldiers from IEDs in the middle east .

@Capt.Jack021 2 года назад

I actually drive a CV. It's not a bad truck, but it seems we certainly got a poor pick of crop with it, as it had several issues when we got it. But the truck does see a lot of work hauling around Wood Chippers and a 28cu yrd box full of material. The Tow Haul function combined with it's exhaust break really helps slow the thing down when it's fully loaded. If the blades on the chipper are sharp, so much material can be fit in the box, you can feel it even at low speeds.

@jonathansparks7558 3 года назад

The 345-CID gas engines, and I’m pretty sure the rest of the gas engine line, there was no timing chain, the cam shaft and the rest of the front of the engine was gear driven. That’s why they were so indestructible.

@ronfullerton3162 3 года назад

So true! They didn't ride like a car or have all the niceties that Ford and Chevy had. But court they ever work! My boss had an IHC pickup we got when acquiring another company. It was a three quarter ton four wheel drive. It had hardly any miles on it, and no one else would drive it. I rather enjoyed it, and under took all the tough jobs the guys with the Ford and Chevys were scared of. Since no one else would drive it, the biss sold it to a junk dealer for $100. I still about cry over that even now. I had offered him $500, but he wouldn't sell vehicles to employees.

@jamesoldman3021 4 года назад

Missed one of the biggest milestones of the 1950's was the introduction of the 1957 Crew Cab pick-ups. It started the trend which today has taken over from the full size 4 door passenger car. Other than the Dodge Power Wagon Internation also offered the first factory built 4 x 4 pick-up that did not require an after market kit. Won't say you are wrong but my memory has the R line starting in 1953 model year introduced mid September 1952. My brother bought a 52 L 110 in June. The dealer had pictures of the new model which the biggest change was the grill.

@anthonynelson9136 4 года назад

In 1978 I drove a 1974 Tran star cab over with a 318 Detroit and a 13 speed, up and down the cowpath they called I-94 between the Twin cities & Fargo. Every time I stopped to take a leak I expected to be peeing blood because that truck would put calluses on your back while beating your kidneys right out of you!

One Loadstar series truck they left out was the school bus chassis. You couldn’t kill the 345-cid gas engine. The rods could be knocking and blowing blue smoke and on its last leg but kept on running.

@danjosephson6910 3 года назад

Rode to School back in the 70's in Wayne bus bodies mounted on IH loadstar chassis.

@jonathansparks7558 3 года назад

@@danjosephson6910 it’s a crying shame that they allowed both Wayne Buses and Carpenter Bus Bodies to go out of business. If FoMoCo hadn’t been embroiled in the Carrollton Ky Bus Crash, it would have been nice if they had bought out one of the bus companies just like Navistar adding the Ward Bus body to their portfolio. Freight Liner purchased Thomas Built Buses. GMC purchased Bluebird Buses eventually becoming another holding for Mercedes Daimler Freightliner. Sure wished Ford had done the same with Wayne or Carpenter buses.

All Australian built IH trucks had an A prefix before the model designation, as did the tractors and British built models used a B prefix. An AW 6 is the Aussie equivalent of a W6. An AB160 would be a B160 if it were built in Illinois rather than Dandenong Victoria Australia. British tractors were named B250, B275 etc. my Grandfather got us started on IH products with a fleet of AS 164s and 180s, and plenty of 414 and 576 tractors on his market gardens (commercial vegetable farms).
