I bought the CHEAPEST SEMI TRUCK on facebook marketplace - Will it Run?? 

DISCLAIMER, only for the diesel truck enthusiasts, not for the average viewer, I love it!!! 😊 Waiting for part 2.

I enjoyed watching this. Getting the engine is quite the accomplishment. You making it look so easy. I know nothing about engines period. Look forward to part two.

i drove a 79 transtar2 for 5 years over the road it wasnt a eagle but it had the big cam cummins and 13 speed.that truck was a beast for pulling heavy loads mostly 79000 i pulled.it never broke tlil it hit 900 thousand miles fuel pump dyed in nebraska at 2am i coasted off interstate found a gravel road about a thousand feet in.i crawled ota cab jacked it up looked both ways saw nuthing but corn.nahh more than corn coyote pack came right up howling and screaming.i crawled back up with cab tilted forward and slept over steering wheel and waited for daylight.mine was a copper metallic with a red orange and maroon stripes never seen one since that color or combo.back then had no cell phone we used a paper from dispatch to get you close and then it was your respoinsibility to have quarters to call the to guide you in.i kept alot of quarters

Definitely a 350 (855) Big Cam Cummins. The box on the left side of the engine indicates it's a Big Cam right off the bat. Definitely worth saving this 4070, but you have a lot of work cut out for you. Didn't help that someone smashed the drivers side glass allowing rodents to make a home in the cab. Also, don't throw an empty filter on the fuel system. Fill them up first. You're just inducing air into the fuel system.

Subbed. I really liked that you did both the recovery of the International, the engine assessment, the take out and a good part of the swap in one video. I would have saved that INTL cab and put it on top of the storage box. Looks like no corrosion, and it's classic.

I remember when those Transtars were new. That wrap around dash was state of the art at the time. I always thought they were cool looking trucks also

I definitely would have saved the International at any cost. Would have put a fifth wheel on it as Well to pull trailers

One man doing ALL that work, amazing

VERY impressive for a first time effort,Man what a big job with tons of difficulty.Its always amazed me the time and money guys put into their trucks.Its also amazing these trucks go back to work with a whole new life after this type of job.Very very cool stuff!!

I love what you do. It's so exciting watching you and your partner getting things done. Can't wait to see the house get done. Now this truck and engine. You have so much experience and knowledge of everything you do. I'm from Vancouver BC Canada. Keep up the good work......

Really love watching your projects.👍👍💛🍻

G'day from Down Under,,, Great video so far ,, Can't wait to see the rest of this beast go together. Good luck with her, hope it goes well for you . Respect.....!

Great stuff 👍lookin forward to seeing the dump truck run with that bigger engine

Super cool project. Subbed and looking forward to part 2.

So 4 months since this video what happened to part 2

Killer content…first video I watched and I’m super impressed! Keep on truckin

Hi, this is Milton from Brazil. Congrats, great job back putting on the road this engine !!

Well, I think the International COE would be better with a roll on/roll off trash container bracket on the chassis in case for using the vehicle on certain jobs. It just needs an extra tandem axle, the chassis stretched to fit the roll on/roll off bracket, and a good paint job.

That was great work!! Nice job!

Cool project guys. I’ve never seen such a small engine and a dump truck before that made me laugh. I hope y’all get that diesel in and working good.

This channel hopefully takes off for you my friend, really in depth and interesting videos. Im sat watching here in England so its getting out there. Look forward to the next one.

Great project, your a hard workin dude, subbed to your channel !

Applaud your energy and efforts- new to your channel. Old Diesel tech (retired x3)!

That unit has a ton of good parts. Putting it back on the road is very doable. I don’t believe it will cost much as you think. I’ve done a lot of restorations and this is a good unit to do so. I do love the Louisville’s. The LTS as a dump truck is my all time fav. I would take a Louisville any day over a Pete or Kenny.

Tough job , but you got it this far without killing yourself . Great video .

Those International cabovers are badass looking

Whatched the whole video brother and subbed great stuff man👍

Awesome been waiting on the engine swap since the short clip.

I think it’s great to take some thing older and put new life in it great job 😊

I had a 280 Cummins on the early 90s . They erected very fuel sensitive if the system has an air leak or the fuel filter starts to clod with s++t they will either loose power or stop altogether I know from experience! The fuel gauge was reading 1/4 fuel but was empty, ran out of fuel on a motorway (UK) called out tow truck and the driver was useless and didn’t know anything about Cummins. All he wanted to do was tow me off the motorway to a garage 20 miles away . No way was I doing that ! So , I taught him how to bleed the system and left him scratching his head , disappointed he didn’t get the towing charge . These engines are pretty bulletproof if you take care of them.

Subbed. I watched the video of you buying the dump truck as well. As they say about hard workers around here, "you got some bulldog blood in your veins". Good luck with your channel.

Great content!

Just wow! Cool video👍🏾

44 years ago I started driving truck I started out in one of these. Enjoyed that ol girl.

I love all the old cabovers!

I’m a huge international fan but I understand that not everything can be fixed and parts for this particular model would be extremely hard to find and extremely expensive but at least the truck will live on in a sense just in a different truck can’t wait to see the video where you get the other truck running with this motor ❤

Best and hardworking cold start

Awesome video, love your channel👍👍👍👍

אלופים,אלופים....מקצוענים...💗🇮🇱.בשנות ה-80 עבדתי מכונאי,כמה שאהבתי את המקצוע הזה,ובמיוחד את השילוב הזה של החלפת מנועים,לשיפור הכוח של המשאית...כול ההתאמות,והתושבות..מצריכות ראש פתוח וידע...וכשזה מצליח,זו שמחה מעולה...בהצלחה חברים..💗💗💗💗👍👍🌺🌺🌹🌹🇮🇱💪

my favorite parts were after two chains snapped and the old gas engine leapt at you. you brought up safety. and then out came the hard hat. hahaha no its an awesome video guys! me my dad and brothers snapped many chains.

I REALLY wanted to buy one of these, but didnt follow through. Glad you did!

Great effort. You deserve success.

Really Cool looking cab over.

Love this swap!! Well worth the time and effort!!!!!!!!

First time? hard to belief. well done! I suggest splitting a video like this into two, will it start and engine swap.

Nice work 👍👍👍

Great project! I dig the old Ford💪

I drove a few of those corn binders in the 70s and early 80s.

Cool idea

I like it already, a classic needs a little TLC BUT looks like a lot of fun to me

I love this stuff!

Looks good and I’m only 5 minutes in. That thing should fire right up, they never die. Hope it works!

Good luck guys

Wow! That drone footage and music made a great intro! If they work, I'd have saved the air horns from the International.

Suggestions: shorten the chain, put the chain over bucket gives you more lift, and please dont get in and out os the skid steer when the arms are up. You have a buddy have him hook the chain.

Well done, great fun

Yeppers,that engine will be very nice in the dump truck. Good 🤞 job guys 👏.

I drove a 70 that only had a 250 cummins in it 13 speed Roadranger, POOCHMOBILE at best but then rear ends were geared WAY too high. Smoked the entire trips loaded or empty. Seat fell out, accelerator peddle pulled down wide open on left turns, no power steering , gear shift was so loose you hit your hands on the bunk and dash, clutch peddle took both feet to hold it down! Drove it for a year then quit and went to drive for another guy that had a Kenworth W-900 extended hood , N-14 cummins, 10 speed roadranger, power steering, etc. DREAM truck!! lol

Working in the dirt and making it up as you go along....very much like my operation..... I run mid 90's Isuzu FTS600 4WD crane trucks on a remote island. No computers. Just put a dome shelter up and now my ass is dry in winter. Cheers from NZ....

Nice find, not sounding bad. Some guys use the framing for structural material for a garage.

Watching that Cab crash down broke my heart.

Man, this was great work guys! gives me hope that i can diesel swap my F250 someday. it has the 460 gas want a 7.3 and i know that is its own bag of worms, but this gives me courage. haha

Cool video keep them going I will to how the other truck goes after the engine

Good channel sweet project 👍

Always good to see people who want to do this.😅

Buddies, you're amazing ones !

Worked for a fracking company in Utah in early 80’s and our pump trucks were B models. We had 6V-92 TA ‘s in ours. Weren’t good on rough oil field roads but not much was. Always liked the Eagles

glad i hooked on mate im very keen to hear her fire up in the new body

I’d love to see this back on the road

Smart man right there . When he said “lets get something to cover that turbo in case it runs away “ lol oh yeah, thats shit is TERRIFYING!

you don't really need to justify taking the engine you need from that truck. now, having said that, that truck is completely restorable. in fact, it's a pretty good restoration candidate, but again, it's your truck.

strong camarata vibes here. love it.

Great work

love your music just tunend in

Incredible how you got that engine and transmission in there on your own!

Amazing project

Great job

😍im a 39 year old girl but i was 13 when my granddad was teaching my to drive his old transtar 4070a

I dont blame for not wanting to keep that International cab. I drove those things when they were new, the Cummins engine, Eaton transmission, and dtive axles were great. The cabs were junk.

Max helping Dad!!!

Those transtars are old school cool!

It would have been nice to see the old international back on the road but I also understand the financial side of it to. I once had a 1972 square body Chevrolet truck & to someone it would have been a nice project but for me I wasn't willing to pit a bunch of money in something that I would never get back. Hopefully the diesel engine will be good to where your dump truck can give you year's more on the road.

When I was a kid those were everywhere and running local and short regional runs.

fill the new fuel filter with fuel or ATF, that fuel looks that way because they put the used motor oil in it, won't hurt a thing

I started driving in 88 with Schneider with one of their 84 barnyard Cadillacs without power steering that was a treat you sure didn’t over steer backing that huzzie up lol

I spent many miles in one of these, 'o boy, do I know that dash. I'd say it's a Cummins - good luck

did you recheck the clutch alignment after all bolts were torqued ? that can end in fun

I'm about 3 minutes in so i could be wrong but that appears to be a cummins big cam. The heads and box hanging off of them is very distinctive.

ypu do what is best for you, and keep maken this nice content

Give that big cam Cummins fuel , it will run and run well for being parked so long .

International Transtar is a good truck, Pulled a lot of furniture, in my 48102 drop frame, And theres nothing wrong with the way they look.

You guys better get more impact sockets!!

You are brave walking through that thick growth around this truck! Watch for ticks!

Loved it thanks

Yes I think they are cool too my late father drove a 1981 international transtar 2 cab over it was new at the time I was 17 years old when he got it new he drove for Seward motor fright

I think they look pretty cool too

you need a alignment tool to put that clutches on or they will not lineup with the input shaft but while you have it off chang the pilot bearing!

Man, Creedence just goes with everything, amirite?

That truck cab would make an interesting little hunting camp I believe

All of that lovely clutch asbestos dust being blown around. Yummy!!
