1974 International Transtar 4070A, 8V71, 318 Detroit cold start up

This is just a short video of a walk around of my 1974 4070A International Transtar and a cold start-up of the truck. The truck had not been started for a few days and the temp is about 65 degrees the day of this video. The ole truck starts just as easy @ 20 degrees as it does @ 80 degrees. It is powered by an 8V71 Detroit Diesel or more famously known as the 318 Detroit, 13 speed Fuller, spring ride reyco suspension, no power steering. I have a lot of fun in the summer months in this ole truck and is one of many old Ih cabovers in my collection.

Thanks for the compliments. Yep, thats one of out many barn cats. That is a car crusher. It is one we bought and fixed up. It was on its way to the welding and paint shop in this video. They fixed all the bent metal, put new glass in the cab, and sandblasted and painted it. It looks like a brand new machine now. Plus, It gave me a good excuse to hook the ole transtar to a load and make her work some.

@319detroit Very Nice 4070..beats me why Int'l put those tinny sounding center outlet exhaust manifolds on on all the natually aspirated 8v71's though? I drove one for a friend of my dads many years ago, and while we had the blower off of it to put new end seals on the rotor shafts,we took them off of there and replaced them with rear outlet manifolds (straight back) off of a wrecked KW...sounded really sweet after that, a lot deeper, throatier sound to it. Got a 71 in the crusher to, I see.

I had a friend who had a horse ranch who had a'74 Transtar like this that he used to pull a big horse trailer with, Don't know what engine it had.
